Today men are finding a voice in parenting which is often different from that expressed by their own fathers and they are redefining their role as Dads. Being a father presents men with many challenges to their patience, time, understanding, financial and emotional resources. This workshop celebrates the vital role fathers play in raising their children and shows you how to make the most of the time you have with your children and be both positive and firm with your children. It also looks at how to be an effective team with the children’s mother.

This talk is for fathers only and will be presented by a male presenter with much experience and great understanding of the male approach to parenting.

The talk will cover:

• The positive male attributes that men bring to parenting. Choosing the style of parenting you want
• The special relationships that men can have with their sons and the role they have with their daughters
• Ways of encouraging cooperation and building self esteem in your children
• How to foster good behaviour and good communication skills in your children
• Positive and effective methods of discipline that engender respect and teach good values
