• Cared for our daughter from birth so my wife, who’s an airline pilot, could return to work
• Co-founded stay-at-home-dad’s support group and helped it grow to over 60 participants

Thus you "minimize" trying to sell your accomplishments, which may or may not be relevant to the potential employer while showing that you did not keep idle while staying at home with your daughter.
I think Paco's revision is the cleanest and the one I would be most responsive to as an employer.
