REAL DADS-to-be Course


	REAL DADS-to-be Course
Ever notice how there are lots of support networks for new moms and for pregnant women. Even the pre-natal classes don't teach men how to be a dad, they teach men how to be supportive husbands and then fade into the background. That is not what being a dad is all about! Dads, on the contrary, cannot fade into the background, but need to step up and take a prominent role in the family. Unfortunately, men are expected to know how to do that without being taught how, especially if you have grown up without a postive male father-figure in your life. The example jst wasn't there - nor was the teaching. This scenario is occurring more and more in society as men are having kids but not knowing how to be a dad after that. This course aims to give new dads, or new dads-to-be, practical and helpful tips, advice, knowledge and assistance so men are not going into fatherhood clueless, but instead, nicely equipped to turn their new bundle of confusion into a new bundle of joy. It will never be easy having a new baby, and nobody could anticipate every possible situation, but REAL DADS would like to help you get a running start. The REAL DADS-to-be Course is run free of charge for men, as a five session course, run once weekly for about 1.5 hours per session. Continue to check the Calendar/Events page for dates of courses near you. If you would like to participate in this course and there is not one running near you, please contact us to see about alternative options. Titles of each session are: Week One: Your New Job Week Two: Your Changing Life Week Three: Getting Involved Week Four: Father First...Friend Second Week Five: Why Bother? Everyone is sure to get something out of this course. Handouts are provided and the sessions are run via PowerPoint, where technology exists. There is no cost for this course!! That's right - it is absolutely free to take this course! Donations from members allow for us to run this course at no cost to participants.
