What advice would you give a new father?

How actively are fathers participating in the births of their children these days? Find out by carrying out an interview project. Identify two first-time, expectant fathers and two fathers of children under the age of 2 (Total of 4 interviewees). Interview these men using the following sets of questions:

Expectant Fathers:

• What are your feelings about becoming a father?

• How have you been involved in your partner’s pregnancy?

• What part will you play in your child’s birth? What part would you like to play?

• What do you think being a “good father” means?

• How will having a child change your life?

Fathers:

• How has having a child changed your life?

• What advice would you give a new father?

Write a brief report indicating what you were trying to find out, describe your sample and how you interviewed the fathers and soon-to-be fathers, and then summarize similarities and differences between the two pairs of men.
