Penguin Dads Are The Next Step In Evolution Of Dads

Evolution is not just a theory anymore. It is a proven fact. We have seen evidences of the evolution of humans from primates. And just like that, our parenting styles as humans are also changing and evolving now. Gone are the ancient days of parenting that say, “A mother is the one who has to take up all the responsibilities of raising her children.” Most of the human population finds penguins adorable. Not just for their fluffy appearance and cute heights. The parenting style of a penguin couple is something from which we have started to adopt some features and the result of this has been penguin dads.

Once the mama penguin lays the egg, her body loses all the nutrients and in order to gain it all, she has to feed in the ocean for 2 months straight! Here comes the hero, Papa penguin is so dedicated to his baby that he allows the mama to go on a feeding spree and he cautiously incubates the egg till it hatches! Since even the slightest change in the surroundings can perish the egg, he starves himself just to keep his baby safe! Human dads have stepped into playing major roles in the parenting of their children. The new age dads love doing everything and make spending time with kids a part of their daily routine just like work or any other thing. Just the way motherhood is an epic journey of life, fatherhood too is a life-changing experience.

Be it watching over the baby when mommy is away, changing diapers or braiding his daughter’s hair, dads are handling it like a boss! Although one might think these things are not really their cup of tea, these amazing penguin dads are proving everyone wrong. No man is born a penguin dad, it takes a change of mindset, perspectives and most importantly the willpower to make a difference in your child’s life.

1. Participating actively in babyhood

The new age dads are constantly there by the mother’s side during the babyhood of their child, helping her and coordinating with her to take care of the baby. Be it learning how to change diapers and using feeding bottle or even waking up in the middle of the night to soothe his crying baby, these dads are making a mark in the world of parenting.

2. Doing unconventional things

The fathers of today do not shy away from any task, be it cooking food, cleaning the house, playing with dolls and even getting nails done.

3. Making the kids and the family a priority

Dads are always there for their little ones no matter what time it is. Even if they have to wake up late night or work from home, if they can spend more time with their child, they want to do it.

4. Being the child’s best friend forever

Be it her best friend’s party or school’s annual day, dad makes sure that he is there helping his little one get ready and is the one crying tears of joy when his little one wins the first prize!
