Fatherhood by Papa B

A relatable and game-changing guide for parents that redefines what it means to be a present-day father.

Father of three, Motivational Speaker and Influencer Bodé Aboderin (A.K.A. Papa B) is on a mission to show the world that Black fatherhood is not only compatible with ambition, but can inspire, nourish and amplify it too.

Eradicating the negative stereotypes associated with being a Black dad in Britain, Papa B is using his natural flair for motivational speech to share the joyful and transformative journey of starting a family, including the challenges involved and the opportunities to grow along the way. In this passionate parenting book for dads, Bodé reflects on how his own upbringing, alongside stigmas about fatherhood, race, and masculinity, have impacted his experiences of being a father, whilst talking candidly about how to overcome the challenges commonly experienced by parents – from breaking generational cycles and adapting to modern-day family dynamics to communicating with your child and achieving a healthy work-life balance.

Explore the pages of this parenting guide to discover:

– 10 chapters that discuss what it means to be a father in the present day
– A specific focus on shifting the narrative away from stigmas and stereotypes about fatherhood, race, and masculinity.

Fatherhood by Papa B addresses fatherhood in such a way that is hard-working and practical, yet incredibly down-to-earth. According to a recent study conducted by the BBC, whilst half of parents are fathers, 99% of the research on parenting focuses on mothers. This brilliant book for dads is working to even the balance as studies have demonstrated that supportive father-child relationships matter just as much as mother-child relationships for children’s well-being and development.

A must-have volume for all parents, father figures and fathers-to-be, Fatherhood by Papa B is set out to teach what studies have revealed, in the sense that involved fatherhood can also improve a man’s cognitive skills, health and capacity for empathy, whilst building confidence, self-esteem and enhancing emotional regulation and expression. This brilliant book looks at how a father’s own upbringing and well-being can impact and revolutionize the relationship with their child.
