Why I Became A Daddy Blogger

The Alien World
Do people speculate or ponder about aliens? Many people, I suppose, do. But, have you ever considered that our world is an alien planet - at least to newborn babies who are oblivious of all its complexities of it?I want you to think about it from the perspective of a baby; they emerge from the protective confines of the womb, oblivious to the caste or status of the family to whom they are born. They are oblivious to what is right and wrong. While the unborn child remained secure in the womb, the parents kept track of the days and nights. Their top priority was to protect the unborn. Every day, dreams are constructed for and with them.
At the very least, I knew I was doing it, and I began preparing myself to take on this position by listening to what various Parent Influencers had to say. I soon discovered that mom bloggers/influencers made up 99% of the parent influencers, with only a few dad bloggers. This irritated me because
I felt there was a lot of pressure on mothers to create a community of parents to raise better children. But what about the fathers?I don't blame anyone; I'm sure most fathers are doing their part, but for whatever reason, they don't share it on social media. But I discovered my chance to breach the glass ceiling of being a non-expressive parent and spread the word. I wanted to deconstruct the stereotypes of what a mother and father do. Instead of using traditional gender roles, I suggested to my wife that we mix the roles to create a tasty recipe. With all of these thoughts in mind, and to break gender stereotypes and relieve some of the load on women who contribute to this community's betterment through their experiences and life lessons,
I created @Dadsideofthestory. As a father of an 8.5-month-old son, Jayveraaj, I've observed that once a newborn finds solace in the arms of its mother/father/other loved ones, they begin to embrace this strange world.They set out to see everything, even their parents. They may not appear to be doing much, yet they are soaking in all of the information. They're busy crying, which is the only way they know to express themselves. Yes, "crying" is correct. They have no idea how to grin and have just picked up on your face and imitated it. In their 20-30 cm area of vision, your face will be the most exciting thing for them for the next 3-4 months. They are unable to recognise themselves, yet they are aware of your presence. They are studying and receiving various types of sensory inputs from the outside world, and they are eager to learn about them. They will take some time to fully mature, but they are ready to receive input and output through their expressions now.
Create a safe environment for them to learn outside of their caste and social status. They will strive to speed through everything in this bright and hectic environment. It is up to us to help them reach physical milestones at their speed. It's just as vital to providing them with a healthy, happy, pleasant atmosphere as it is to feed and nap them. They are gathering a vast amount of data and becoming accustomed to becoming a vital part of our lives. Their focus is fixed, like an ancient camera, and they learn from their surroundings.
They do not have a syllabus for their learning, unlike in school. They are becoming acquainted with this strange world through us. They'll start crawling when they're a little older. We tend to hold and restrain their steps at this point. We do it for their benefit, but we build a mindset of restricting them and forcing our ideas on them in the process. They will soon receive their crayons, but they will be compelled to colour those generational thoughts over and over again. They don't have much room to modify and add value to it.
So, regardless of age, let us be a part of this generation and try not to limit them by our actions or views.Of course, we're here to teach them and guide them with our knowledge and experience, but allow them to make the final decision to lay a firm foundation for themselves.
