John W Jolin - Raising A Baby John W Jolin has been the Intellectual Property Coordinator and Operational Manager for Linda's Lyrics, LLC, for the last three years, and says that he loves his job. It provides him with flexible hours. "This gives me time to spend with my family and our new baby." Spending time with his family, and especially with their new baby, is extremely important to John W Jolin. It is interesting that a new age of fatherhood only dawned in America about thirty years ago, according to some research. Before that fathers tended to play more of a background role in raising their kids. Full participation by fathers is still not universal, of course, but it is a lot more common than is used to be, and John W Jolin is proud to be part of that new breed of father. Spending time with his newborn is one of the most important things he can do, John W Jolin believes. The early years of a child's life are critical ones for fathers to bond with their kids. New research has shown that infants really focus on the eyes of the person they are with, so John W Jolin is careful to make a lot of eye contact. Newborns can only see a foot or so in front of them, so he always makes sure to get up close, and smile, and look his infant right in the eye. Babies love motion, and John W Jolin has learned to not just hold the new baby but to jostle and jiggle him around a little bit, taking care not to be too rough. Studies show that movement helps infants in all sorts of ways, from their brains to their sense of balance. Above all, he knows that taking care of a new baby requires a lot of teamwork. It is good for the baby and it is good for a marriage. John W Jolin says that a tag-team approach can work wonders for those midnight feedings and unexpected diaper changes. There are a few limits, though. It is truly astonishing how a baby's radar can zero in on mother when it's feeding time. Like most parents, John W Jolin cannot help but look to the future and see what there might be down the road for the new baby. One thing is certain: he plans on being there every step of the way. As the child grows older he knows that he wants to have a strong and healthy relationship, and intends to do everything in his power to make sure they have one.
