The role of the father in child care has been expanding in recent years. Today, the father assumes a more active interest in his wife's pregnancy and participates more in the care and nurturing of his children. Fathers are most comfortable and confident when they have direct exposure and experience with their infants from the time of the infants' birth. To be of greater assistance, preparation for parenthood courses can increase the information that they offer on the father's role with his children. These courses can provide opportunities for expectant fathers to meet separately from their wives to discuss and share concerns and feelings about parenthood. Fathers express very positive feelings about having opportunities to interact with their infants and to discuss concerns and feelings with other fathers.
