Emotional Ups and Downs of Being a New Father | Dad University

“Hello, I’m Jason Kreidman, Founder of Dad University

Like many men, I struggled with the transition from single Dude to Married Dad with kids. Transitioning from the single life to becoming a married father of two young children, I found myself overwhelmed and stressed out with the increase in responsibilities and demands. I was taking my stress out on my young children and recognized that I needed to change the way I was doing things if I wanted to be a successful father (and avoid a heart attack). Attempting to take back control, I took my first parenting class and was amazed at the immediate transformation I saw in my own life.

I wanted to go deeper and continue learning, but the majority of parenting resources at the time were tailored to Moms. Recognizing a need for parenting resources for Dads, I started a local meetup group in San Diego just for Dads. The reactions to this meetup group convinced me that there was a need for this information. I proceeded to start a Podcast, and eventually started the Dad University channel on YouTube. Through the podcast, YouTube videos, and website, I was able to spread my message to dads all over the world.

Over the last few years I have seen the growing need for a comprehensive, ongoing education system for fathers to benefit from. As a result I created the Dad University membership. Dad’s across the globe finally have a comprehensive parenting resource to become the best version of themselves.”
