American fathers are a highly diverse group, but the breadwinning, live-in, biological dad prevails as the fatherhood ideal. Consequently, policymakers continue to emphasize marriage and residency over initiatives that might help foster healthy father-child relationships and creative co-parenting regardless of marital or residential status. In Nurturing Dads, William Marsiglio and Kevin Roy explore the ways new initiatives can address the social, cultural, and economic challenges men face in contemporary families and foster more meaningful engagement between many different kinds of fathers and their children. What makes a good father? The firsthand accounts in Nurturing Dads show that the answer to this question varies widely and in ways that counter the mainstream "provide and reside" model of fatherhood. Marsiglio and Roy document the personal experiences of more than 300 men from a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds and diverse settings, including fathers-to-be, young adult fathers, middle-class dads, stepfathers, men with multiple children in separate families, and fathers in correctional facilities. They find that most dads express the desire to have strong, close relationships with their children and to develop the nurturing skills to maintain these bonds. But they also find that disadvantaged fathers, including young dads and those in constrained financial and personal circumstances, confront myriad structural obstacles, such as poverty, inadequate education, and poor job opportunities. Nurturing Dads asserts that society should help fathers become more committed and attentive caregivers and that federal and state agencies, work sites, grassroots advocacy groups, and the media all have roles to play. Recent efforts to introduce state-initiated paternity leave should be coupled with social programs that encourage fathers to develop unconditional commitments to children, to co-parent with mothers, to establish partnerships with their children's other caregivers, and to develop parenting skills and resources before becoming fathers via activities like volunteering and mentoring kids. Ultimately, Marsiglio and Roy argue, such combined strategies would not only change the policy landscape to promote engaged fathering but also change the cultural landscape to view nurturance as a fundamental aspect of good fathering. Care is a human experience—not just a woman's responsibility—and this core idea behind Nurturing Dads holds important implications for how society supports its families and defines manhood. The book promotes the progressive notion that fathers should provide more than financial support and, in the process, bring about a better start in life for their children.

Within weeks of getting pregnant, Kelly Crull's wife had a stack of parenting books waiting on his nightstand, complete with neat, hand-written bookmarks telling him which chapters he needed to read. In nine months, he had learned everything about his wife giving birth, becoming a mother, and how he could support her. What he wanted and couldn't find was a book by a normal guy telling him about becoming a dad. The last thing he needed was more expert advice, a ten-step plan or fancy pie charts. He just wanted someone to give it to him straight, "What was parenting going to be like for him?" Becoming Dad is the book he wanted and couldn't find.

Chapter 1: Embracing the Role of a Single Dad Introduction: Becoming a single dad is a significant life transition that presents both challenges and rewards. In this chapter, we will explore the importance of embracing your role as a single dad and understanding the unique journey you are embarking upon. 1.1 Acknowledging the Challenges: Transitioning into single fatherhood often comes with its own set of challenges. It's essential to recognize and acknowledge these difficulties, such as adjusting to new routines, managing household responsibilities, and juggling work commitments. By acknowledging the challenges, you can develop strategies to overcome them effectively. 1.2 Recognizing the Rewards: While there may be challenges, being a single dad also brings immense rewards. Embrace the joy and fulfillment that comes with forming deep bonds with your children and witnessing their growth. Celebrate the unique moments and milestones that you'll experience as a single dad. 1.3 Embracing Your New Identity: As a single dad, it's crucial to embrace your new identity fully. You are not just fulfilling the role of a father but also taking on additional responsibilities traditionally associated with mothers. Embrace the nurturing and caregiving aspects of your role while maintaining your individuality. 1.4 Redefining Masculinity and Breaking Stereotypes: Society often has predefined notions of masculinity, which may not align with the multifaceted role of a single dad. Embrace the opportunity to challenge stereotypes and redefine masculinity in a way that reflects your values and parenting style. Emphasize qualities such as empathy, compassion, and emotional intelligence. 1.5 Developing a Positive Mindset: Maintaining a positive mindset is crucial as you embark on your journey as a single dad. Cultivate optimism and resilience, even in the face of challenges. Believe in your ability to provide a nurturing and loving environment for your children. 1.6 Seeking Support: Recognize that you don't have to navigate single fatherhood alone. Seek support from family, friends, or support groups for single parents. Surround yourself with a network of individuals who understand and can provide encouragement during challenging times. 1.7 Self-Reflection and Personal Growth: As you embrace your role as a single dad, take time for self-reflection. Assess your strengths, weaknesses, and areas where you can grow as a parent. Engage in personal development activities such as reading parenting books, attending workshops, or seeking professional guidance. 1.8 Embracing Vulnerability: Embracing vulnerability is an integral part of being a good single dad. Allow yourself to be open and vulnerable with your children, expressing your emotions and fostering an environment where they feel safe to do the same. Vulnerability strengthens the bond between you and your children. Conclusion: Embracing the role of a single dad is a journey filled with both challenges and rewards. By acknowledging the difficulties, redefining masculinity, seeking support, and embracing vulnerability, you can create a nurturing and loving environment for your children. Embrace your new identity and the opportunity to shape the lives of your children positively.

In this chapter, we will explore the importance of building a strong support network as a single dad and how it can provide you with the necessary resources, guidance, and emotional support. 2.1 Family and Friends: Start by reaching out to your immediate family and close friends. Share your journey as a single dad with them and seek their understanding and support. They can provide a listening ear, practical help, and be there for you and your children during times of need.
