- Do not give them TOO MUCH help as it usually stifles growth. More emotional support and less financial support....balance it.
- Use all the leadership the Navy taught you, you'll need it.

+1 on this.
I was 19 when my first son was born, my wife 20, we had been dating for about a year. We had both been raised in different environments hers strong Latin/Catholic mine White/Mormon we both had support from the families but man oh man those first years were tough.
Now 25 years later we are still married with three kids so it is doable but a long road.
My son being born made me grow up fast, I was going no where and all of a sudden a child was relying on me to provide, so off to work I went.
Give him support ht is going to need your advice/wisdom a lot. Kudos to him for manning up.
