Guys, I am no theologian, but I am sure there is someone out there that can give plenty advice for a first-time-dad-to-be....

I need tips and tricks as well as spiritual guidance on being a dad...

Anyone interested in contributing to a new website on the spiritual side of things is more than welcome... dad experience is definitely a must...

Message here or drop me an email (details on my profile)

Thanks

Quote:
The child has the same meaning for the continuation of the human race as the seed of a tree has for the continued growth and multiplication of that tree. Any people who neglect their children are subject to decay, and those who abandon them to foreign culture risk losing their identity.

***

Children form the most active and productive part of a community after every thirty or forty years. Those who have little children and pay no attention to them should consider how important an element of a people’s life they are disregarding and shudder.

***

The reasons for the vices observed in today’s generation and the incompetence of some administrators and other nation-wide troubles, lie in the conditions prevailing, and the ruling elite, of thirty years ago. Likewise, those who are charged with the education of today’s young generations will be responsible for both the vices and virtues that will be apparent thirty years from now.

***

Any people who would like to secure their future, should apply as much energy to the upbringing of children as they devote to other problems. The energy devoted to many other things may go in vain, but whatever is spent for the upbringing of young generations to elevate them to the rank of humanity will be like an inexhaustible source of income.

***

Miserable, evil ones in a community – the anarchists, the drug or wine addicts, and the dissolute, etc. – were once children whom we neglected to educate properly. I do not know whether we are giving enough consideration to what kind of people will be walking about in our streets tomorrow.

***

The peoples who attach due importance to the institution of the family and the education of their young generations – not those who are more advanced in sciences and technology than others – will get the upper hand in the world of the future. The peoples who neglect the institution of the family and the education of their young generations, are destined to be crushed by pitiless wheels of time.

First off, Congrats. I'm very happy for you and know you'll have a wonderful time watching your little one grow.

While I'm not a dad, I feel that this is one topic I can, hopefully, contribute to.

If you're talking Christianity, the first thing I would suggest is pray. Pray for guidance on what to teach and tell your child. The next thing I would suggest is study the bible. How can you teach it to your child if you're not sure of what it says? Then teach it to your child. Believe me, they will come up with some of the most unusual questions you have ever heard. They think of things that you never will. It's amazing how the mind of a child works. My favorite question my youngest son asked me was, "If Jesus were an ant, would He bite us?" He was only 4 when he threw that question at me and I had to think about it for a little bit. So be warned, you'll get some like that.

I hope this helps.

Again, congrats.
