You're Not Alone

Monthly Survey

Sharing the work and the joy

We recognize partners share in the care of their children in different ways. In many families, fathers are very involved with their children and find that, with a little experience, they are very capable of caring for their children. Research shows that fathers can play a very special role in their children's lives.

1. Do you feel that there is a healthy balance of parenting responsibilities in your home between you and your partner?

	Yes
	No

2. What are at home ideas you think can help balance parenting between you and your partner? (Check all that apply)

	Encourage your partner to have some alone time with your child
	Make sure that your partner is offered praise for their positive care-giving
	Take a look at how work time/child time can be consciously balanced between you and your partner
	Talking with my partner about their becoming more involved with childcare
	Having our families reinforce that it’s good to have my partner share in the parenting of our child
