00:00.300 --> 00:02.967
(upbeat music)

00:05.260 --> 00:07.470
- All too often, fathers feel left out

00:07.470 --> 00:08.860
of the birth process.

00:08.860 --> 00:11.710
It's hard to find out what
you're supposed to do.

00:11.710 --> 00:13.830
This class offers some hand-on support

00:13.830 --> 00:15.840
as well as a networking opportunity

00:15.840 --> 00:18.650
for others that are in
the exact same position.

00:18.650 --> 00:22.133
It's a class that's taught
by fathers for fathers.

00:23.040 --> 00:26.920
We teach people some basic
child rearing techniques,

00:26.920 --> 00:30.530
how to change a diaper,
how to hold your child,

00:30.530 --> 00:33.730
but we also emphasize
the emotional connection

00:33.730 --> 00:34.563
that's needed,

00:34.563 --> 00:37.703
the attachment that is
essential for new fathers.

00:41.860 --> 00:43.090
More and more studies show

00:43.090 --> 00:44.960
that the more involved a father is

00:44.960 --> 00:46.560
in their newborn's life,

00:46.560 --> 00:48.500
the better chance that newborn has

00:48.500 --> 00:51.230
of having a happy, healthy
life, and that's something

00:51.230 --> 00:53.243
that every father wants for their child.
