Your second lab link can be found at Dealing with Fatherhood. A written transcript is also available for this lab.

Why did the men say that they were ready for children?
1. They had gotten things done and out of the way before they were ready. Also with age they get more ready because of the mental and emotional leap they have to take.
What did the men have to learn as new fathers?
2.) They had to learn the skills of taking care of a baby. They learned how to carry a baby, how to bathe a baby, how to simply become a parent.
Do you think the fathers enjoy fatherhood more today than in the past? Why or why not?
3.) I think they may like fatherhood more now than in the past because they now have a hold over how to raise a child and don't have to learn as much as before. They feel more comfortable now than before with the children.
What are some of the difficulties that new fathers (and mothers) face?
4.) They deal with a lack of sleep in the children which can take a toll on the parents. Also there they have to learn how to become a mother and a father which that, in itself is a very difficult thing.
Your third lab link can be found at Adora Svitak: What Adults Can Learn From Kids. A written transcript is also available for this lab.

What are some of the benefits of being “childish”?
1.) Being childish can help their children dream and get ambition for their dreams. Being childish can bring fourth great ideas and teach children a lesson through that.
Why does Svitak say that adults should listen and learn from kids and not just have kids learning from kids? Do you agree? Why or why not?
2.) Svitak says that adults should listen from kids and not only have kids learning from kids because kids are the future. Adults can learn from kids and can really be impacted by what they do. It is kinda like a teacher learning from a student sort of thing.
Why is trust important in the relationship between kids and adults for learning to take place?
3.) Trust is extremely important in any relationship simply because without trust there isn't a relationship. If an adult trusts a child, a child in return can trust the adult more easily or vise versa.
Do you agree with Svitak that parents and adults should have high expectations for kids? Why?
4.) Yes parents should have high expectations for their children, but in a way that they will be able to handle it. If the parent says "Oh my daughter/ son will become a straight A student" then that is great! Though if they go "My Daughter/ son will become a straight A student or they will never graduate college!" Then that is a more negative way of the high expectations outlook. It really depends on how the parents look towards that high expectation and how they try and help their child reach that goal.
