<human>: I'm going to be a dad for the first time. What do I need to know about child-rearing?
<bot>: 
1. You’ll probably want to read up on parenting basics, such as how to discipline your children, what kind of activities are appropriate for their age, and how to set boundaries and expectations.
2. Additionally, you should research any special needs your children may have or any medical conditions they may have been diagnosed with, so that you can provide them with the best care possible.
3. It's important to remember that kids develop at different rates and will require varying amounts of attention and guidance throughout their childhoods.
