Dear you, by simply picking up this book and flipping through it, you’ve already proven yourself to be in the top 10% of dads in the world—hell, maybe the universe. It shows you care, you’re thinking about how to actually connect with your tiny human, and that, my friend, is rare.
Let’s get one thing straight: we are not experts. Not even close. We’re just a bunch of dads who, at one point, were convinced we sucked at this whole fatherhood thing. Sure, we did the stroller walks, fumbled through some diaper disasters, and maybe nailed the occasional baby burp. But now, the tiny human we created is looking up at us… expecting… something. And not just snacks or YouTube—but actual, real-life interaction..
And let’s be real: I have no clue what this miniature person really wants. I’m a grown-ass man! My interests include stuff I probably shouldn’t talk about in a parenting book, and my understanding of toddler psychology? Zero.
Oh, and let’s not forget her. The kid’s mom. She’s nodding along, offering support, but behind that smile - you just know she’s secretly judging every move you make. And don’t even start on the fact that the kid clearly likes her better. I don’t know why. Is it because she’s all nurturing and intuitive and naturally good at this? Yeah, whatever. But you know what? I’m here to change that narrative. Because let me tell you something: I’m in this to win—and this is the game of Dad Supremacy.
Here’s how it works: Kid’s happy = wife’s happy = I’m happy. Ultimate win-win-win. You’re welcome.
So, grab this book, sit your ass down on the toilet (because we both know that’s where the real reading gets done), and dive in like you’re scrolling through an endless stream of TikTok videos. This is your playbook for kicking ass at being a dad, keeping your kid entertained, and—bonus!—getting some extra partner points along the way.
You got this. And even if you don’t, trust me—you’re still probably doing better than most of the guys you know… like Bob from accounting.
