“We have dedicated the vast resources of our education system to prepare us for the tasks we will face later in life, but not only do we not teach our sons the skills they will need to be good fathers, we act as though fathering skills are instinctive or biological, and will simply emerge automatically, like a new mother’s milk.” — Will Glennon

This is a research-based seminar designed by the National Centre for Fathering (USA). Dr Ken Canfield, a leading researcher on fathering, surveyed thousands of journals and literature on parenting, to identify the key qualities of good parenting as it applies specifically to fathering.

Workshop Highlights

• A “discovering your fathering pattern” instrument – to help you map your “fathering profile”
• Seminar notes
• Small group – to process material facilitated by trainers
• A copy of “The Heart of a Father” by Dr Ken Canfield

Fathering Profile

This unique and highly validated assessment inventory helps a man identify his fathering style, strengths and weaknesses. The results guide a father to key perceptions and activities best linked to his fathering success and satisfaction.

Outcome

Fathers will get to know one another better through this workshop, facilitating an environment where men can come together to help and support one another in their fathering role.

This is an excellent way to motivate fathers to join a parents’ support group or to start one within a school or community.
