The State of Dadding in 2024

Being a dad has never been easy, but it has been easier! The life of a father a couple of generations ago and earlier was pretty consistent regarding child care, and the near total lack of it. This was, of course, because of the much more delineated social structure and expectations of a highly patriarchal and regimented culture. Women were largely excluded from the work place, and single income homes were the norm, not the exception. It’s better now, in a multitude of ways, but that should not discount the very real psychological, physiological and emotional toll that living in modern society can have on both parents.

Going on a Hike with your little one? Awesome! Check out these tips before heading out:

Hiking with your little one can be a great way to get them outside and active, and to introduce them to nature. It can also help to develop their sense of adventure, and can be a great bonding experience for families.

It can also help to improve their self-confidence and independence, as well as their ability to problem-solve and navigate in the wilderness.
