Dads Raising Boys – Under 12 Years of Age

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 relationship.

This workshop will discuss:
- what boys need to learn to grow up to be a man;
- the influences on your parenting style;
- how to be a playful dad;
- the importance of the role dad's play in the development and nurture of boys;
- the values boys need to grow into 'good men';
- boy's vunerability and their need for emotional connection;
- boy's need for clear boundaries and fair rules.

This one night session is for dad's with sons under the age of 12 years.
