Into the book
This book is not about the answers of someone who knows everything perfectly, but about the journey of a father who started at the same starting line.
Through trial and error, questions, and small but clear moments of learning, he conveys the conviction that "dads can be good at parenting too!"
--- From the "Prologue"

It's okay if it's not perfect.
You are already a good enough dad.
And tomorrow I will be a better father than I am today.
Parenting is not a process of competing or comparing yourself to others.
What's important is that parents and children laugh, cry, and fill each day together.
--- From "It's Okay to Not Be Perfect"

Parenting is not just the mother's responsibility.
Mom is also a beginner.
Dad is also at the same starting line, and we can only get there if we learn together.
When the father takes a step back from childcare, the role ultimately falls solely to the mother.
And when that happens repeatedly, parenting becomes ‘mother’s work.’
One thing to remember is that now is the best time to learn together.
A postpartum helper is not just someone who helps the mother, but can also be the father's 'first teacher' who learns about childcare.
--- From "Where do you learn parenting?"

My wife has a dream too.
My wife's life is still a work in progress.
There is no reason why your life should stop just because you have a child or become a mother.
The dream just stops for a moment.
Just as I became a father, my wife also became a mother.
The word 'mother' does not erase the wife's name.
--- From "Mom Has a Dream Too"

Parenting is not synchronized diving.
It may not seem like it's going to happen at exactly the same time and cut through the water in exactly the same way.
It might seem ideal to have the same rhythm, but the reality is different.
This is because the environments, physical strength, emotions, and work hours faced by parents are all different.
Parenting is not a collaborative process that moves simultaneously, but rather a process of coordination over time.
--- From "Let's look at it for a long time, not now"

Growing up is a process of learning new things, but it is also a process of experiencing scenes that can no longer be seen.
In those days, I was just desperate to survive.
Just surviving the day was enough.
But what comes to mind now are the faces, expressions, and every single gesture from that time.
The moment when you were scrambling to find a piece of baby food that fell under the bed, the movement of trying to lay down a baby who was tossing and turning to change a diaper, and even the habit of putting a few drops of formula on the back of your hand to check the temperature.
All those moments will never come back.
--- From "Let's build memorable moments"

Publisher's Review
“What should expectant fathers do during pregnancy?”
“Is it better for mothers to take the lead in raising their children?”
“What do you need when you have a child?”
“Will I be able to raise this child well?”
“Can I do a good job as a father?”
“How can I be a good father?”

From pregnancy to one year
To be a good husband and a good father
From small tips to big concerns, all in one book!


It is said that mothers prepare to become mothers by going through physical changes during pregnancy.
But Dad feels like he literally 'suddenly' becomes a father.
If dads aren't prepared in advance like this, they'll either panic and become scared, make mistakes, lose confidence, and make the worst choices: leaving parenting to the mother's domain.
This book provides a path for all prospective and new fathers who have only one desire: to be a good father.
This book was written for those who don't know who to learn from and where to start, who are overwhelmed by information when searching but don't know what to believe, and who find it difficult to talk to their wives.

Once the child is born, I become a 'father', but I still have constant worries about that role.
For those fathers, this book comforts them by saying that it's okay to be clumsy.
However, since you can't stay clumsy forever, this book provides you with the information you need to find, the experiences you need to have, and the things you need to think about to become a more skilled and better father.
I'm confused because I don't know what to do, and whenever I try to do something, I keep making mistakes.
This image of a father is a path that the author himself has walked.
That is why the author says, 'It's okay.'
Because I am going through such confusion and mistakes as I become a father.
This book is not a guide to becoming a perfect father.
This is a journey told by a senior father who is on the path to becoming a father like you.

I hope that readers of this book will also bravely embark on the journey to becoming good fathers.
It's okay to make mistakes.
It's okay to be clumsy.
What matters is the desire to be a good father, the courage to not be afraid of the path ahead, and the process of not giving up.
