Week 11

Parenting

Its amazing to me how the experience it is for children to come to this world and see have their parents see them for the first time. I am excited to have this experience and have the opportunity to feel this for myself.

"The experience of parenting is somewhat different for men and women. Women tend to find joy in their children but not in the tasks of motherhood. Women tend to be more involved than men in the lives of their children. Men however, are equally capable of nurturing behavior. Expectant fathers have many anxieties that they tend not to share with others. Men spend a higher proportion of time in play with children than do mothers. They are playmates as well as caretakers." Taken from the textbook.
