Dads Raising Boys

The Importance of Dads

For a boy a close relationship with his father is like gold. A father can be an anchor for a son. A dad models behaviours that shape who they become as an adult. Boys whose dads are involved with them from a young age do better in lots of ways—academically, emotionally and socially. Well-fathered boys show the positive effects years later with an improved capacity for empathy and the health of their social relationships.

This workshop will discuss:
- The importance of the role Dad's play in the development and nurture of boys
- The importance of play with your son
- Helping your son build self-esteem, a healthy identity and resilience
- How to manage difficult behaviour.

This one night session is for dad's with sons under the age of 12 years. We strongly recommend all Dads going through the separation process attend our course 'Survival Kit for Separating Dads' prior to any other parenting course.
