About
How It Started
Learner Dad is, just like the writing on the box says, about a boy becoming a dad without even having a Learner Plate in the field.
The concept behind Learner Dad as a blog stemmed from an article on research into the development of the Paternal Brain among new fathers. This triggered a series of conversations among a group of dads, and a keen interest in understanding the principles behind the Paternal Brain.
What ensued was an overwhelming amount of thoughts, discussions and ideas on the possibility of extending the learnings – or lessons of fatherhood – from the paternal brain to all aspects of life.
The idea of Learner Dad grew out of the thought, “how great would it be to become the CEO of fatherhood and guide others along this life long journey”.
From a blog, Learner Dad has evolved into a purposeful community aimed at supporting dads navigate through fatehrhood.
Learner Dad is …
- not an expert, professional or guru in the field;
- an enthusiast, an amateur, hesitant;
- a light sleeper and not a happy early riser;
- clear on purpose and intent;
- in search of answers for questions that were never thought of until today;
- willing to be vulnerable in order to become stronger;
- aware that not all that is shared is going to be valued or of value;
- ready to do the heavy lifting even if the payoff may be light or minimal;
- excited by the journey, yet a little anxious about the outcomes;
- accepting of criticism in order to improve the end result;
- most of all, eager to become a better Learner Dad every day.
Ambitiously Yours,
Learner Dad.
