Frequently asked questions
- What does this new dad quiz measure?
- It covers 10 areas of new-dad preparedness: financial basics (insurance, will), practical readiness (car seat, hospital bag), emotional preparation, and partner support planning. It's not a pass/fail — it's a checklist disguised as a quiz.
- When should expecting dads take this quiz?
- Ideally during the second trimester. That gives you enough time to act on anything you've missed. But it's useful at any stage — even after the baby arrives.
- Is this quiz just for first-time dads?
- Primarily yes, but second-time dads often discover they forgot to update their life insurance, will, or health insurance for the new baby. Worth a quick run-through even if you've done this before.
