How does taking care of myself also help support my family?

Taking care of yourself is key to being the best dad you can be. You’re also an important role model for your child, and your well-being matters. Here are some simple ways to stay healthy and energized as a dad:

• Keep healthy snacks and meals on hand, like fruits, nuts, and salads.
• Take turns with your partner so you can rest and recharge.
  Stay active with simple activities, like going for a walk with your baby or using a carrier while doing chores.
• Make time to have fun and laugh with family and friends.
• Don’t hesitate to ask for help when you need it—lean on family and friends for support.
