🌍 Changing Dads around the world

Fatherhood changes across families and societies; there is no single national model.

What each culture can teach you

1. What to prepare
Discuss which caregiving traditions you want to keep and which assumptions to challenge.
2. What to check
Share care in ways that fit your family, including single, adoptive and same-sex parents. Avoid ranking cultures or treating stereotypes as evidence.
3. In South Africa
Nappies, cot, clinic and Road to Health booklet are useful terms. Families use many languages and caregiver names; ask preferences rather than portraying one South African or African parenting culture.
