Hello everyone, this is my son Phillipe Jr., he was born on Valentine’s Day February 14, 2016 at Brgy. Buhangin, Baler, Aurora. He was my unico hijo, my son weigh’s 2 kilos, he’s skin is pale and gentle. As his father, I’m glad that he was born safely by her mother. His eyes was from me and his nose and ears are from her mother.


II. Discuss how you prepared for this experience. You may also discuss how you created the baby and how you decided on the

Well, experiencing something like having a baby is big factor for me. First, I prepare myself physically, emotionally and mentally to face that I will be a father. Then, I research about being a father. I learned that being a parent is very hard task, their always sleep late at night and wake up early because the baby was crying.

My baby is made up of cloth, cut and sew as a baby filled with 2 kilos of rice. His face was designed with a pentel pen marker.


III. What were your responsibilities during this project?

My responsibilities during this project is to be a good father to my son. Carry him to school every class on SOC SCI 101. Take care of him even though were not on school. Prepare his milk every day, change his diaper when it’s full. Make him calm when he is crying and prepare his bed when it’s time to sleep. Being a father is not that easy. It’s a difficult responsibility but it’s part of making/ building a family.


IV. Discuss your experience during the whole month implementation of the baby project. How was the experience of being a single parent? Discuss positive and negative feelings you may have about your experience.

The whole month was one of the most unforgettable my moment in Aurora State College of technology. The baby might be heavy but it’s worth to carry. Why, cause I’m practicing and getting an experience like a father. Being a single parent is hard. Because all the task your baby needs is all in your hands, you don’t have a corresponding mother to help you. And thru this project I realize some of what single parent feel.


V. What type of child-rearing approach will you use once your baby grow up? Discuss.

I think its “natural growth”, I’ll let him decide on what he wants in his life. I’m just here to support him in whatever he wants. As a father I want him to grow up with a fear of God. If I see something wrong on what he’s doing, I will correct it so that he won’t do it again and give him a lesson for that. Natural growth is the best child-rearing approach, because you don’t limit your child’s ability and you let them discover their other abilities.


VI. Would you allow your child to become deviant? Explain. If not, what type of social control will you use to persuade your child to follow social norms?

I will allow my son to be a deviant in a way that he will be a successful person. Being a deviant in not bad, their only just different or unique. I will support what he will do when he grow up, because as a father my responsibility is to support and guide my child.


VII. Do you think you’re ready to handle the responsibilities of being a parent? Explain.

I’m not 100% ready, but I think I can handle the responsibilities. If I become a father someday, I will give all what he need and necessary. By having a baby, you have to take responsibilities. A baby will be develop to be an adult through his society. Being a parent means responsibility to your child’s, and your family. The responsibilities might drag you down, but you can choose whether or not to get back up.
