The transition to fatherhood is a profound journey that can reshape a man’s life and redefine his sense of purpose.

An expression of emotion! A demonstration of a deep desire! That’s what a tantrum really is. Yes, there’s screaming, crying, kicking, and flailing. We’ve all been there… and know it well.
