Becoming a stay-home-dad wasn’t an easy transition for Andie, who admits that he had always thought of himself as “a secondary force,” and his wife, the primary caregiver and educator.

Months after making the big move to “uproot” his family and move to Taiwan, actor Andie Chen has made some interesting discoveries on fatherhood and parenting. In an exclusive interview with theAsianparent, the 37-year-old shares the valuable lessons he has picked up so far after taking one of the biggest risks in his life.

“When the kids are here with me, I am the only one who takes care of them. We don’t have a nanny. I have since become a very hands-on dad,” says Andie. “I’ve taken over pretty much 100% on teaching the kids, sleeping with the kids, and taking care of everything else.” “You might think that you are already close to them but really being ingrained and spending doing the so-called mundane things with your kids actually brings you to another level of closeness to the kids that I’ve never experienced in my life.”Andie also urges parents to spend more time with their kids, especially while they are young.
