Content
Designed by the National Centre for Fathering (USA), this seminar is research based. Dr Ken Canfield surveyed thousands of literature, journals on parenting and listed several common qualities of good parenting and applied it specifically to fathering. Dr Ken is one of the leading researchers on fathering. It is designed to help fathers discover ways to build a close relationship with their children.
The workshop covers
1. A discovering your fathering pattern instrument – to help participants map their “fathering profile”
2. Seminar notes
3. Small group – to process material facilitated by trainers
4. A copy of “The Heart of a Father” by Dr Ken Canfield (Optional: $15 for 1 copy)
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 & 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. It is an excellent way to motivate fathers to join a parents’ support group or to start one within a school or community.
