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!

A child’s mental health is just as important as his physical health and as of late, there have been many campaigns to draw awareness towards the mental health of a child. And it’s entirely apolitical, as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry have demonstrated through their exemplary work with their Heads Together charity – tackling the stigma of mental health in a campaign that cuts across all ages, classes, geographies, and occupations. Of course, mental health has been growing as a largely overlooked and neglected crisis among young people for years. Modern life – increasingly connected, driven by smartphone culture – puts enormous stress on young people at a time when they are growing and at their most vulnerable. This is where social arts come in as saviors. William Congreve once said, “Music has charms to soothe the savage breast, to soften rocks or bend a knotted oak.”

The therapeutic benefits of the liberal arts had been considered a bit of a flaky, hippy theory until recently, but it is becoming more mainstream all the time. Dr Robert Myers, assistant clinical professor of psychiatry and human behavior at the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine, says: “Having a little bit of music in your life every day can be good for reducing stress and anxiety. Research and experience has shown that calming music can provide stress relief for children and adults.” Professor Susan Hallam, Emerita Professor of Education and Music Psychology at University College London, is among leading academics and researchers who have published papers on the impact of music on the intellectual, social and personal development of children, showing exposure to music enhances their perceptual, language and literacy skills.

There is nothing like music and art for sparking creativity; tapping into emotions and helping young people understand and develop their own life while navigating that of others. Despite the numerous benefits provided by music and the arts in our schools, they are under attack. In September a report by the Education Policy Institute showed students studying arts subjects such as music and drama in English schools had fallen to the lowest level in a decade as a result of government policies and education cuts.
