Webinars and Workshops for Dads

Ok, so dad’s learned how to change a diaper … now what?

Being a dad doesn’t end once our kids start eating solid foods and burping on their own. Yet support for dads has been limited to a few basic “how-to” and “survival-guide” workshops.

Although the information presented in these workshops is important, it’s also incomplete – like an auto repair manual that tells you how to change the oil, but not how to change the spark plugs, or rebuild the transmission.

Daddy Brain Workshops & Webinars treat dad as a whole person. They reach beyond the first-year basics and addresses big life issues including reducing domestic violence within the family unit, improved relationships between partners, and a healthier home environment for children.

THE DISCIPLINE DILEMMA: How to Teach Our Children without Traumatizing Them.
Positive and negative forms of discipline are discussed, along with some of the adverse affects that negative discipline causes – including physical brain damage and the impairment of brain development. In addition to providing positive alternatives, we’ll also cover how the parent’s brain is wired, and how each of us can develop new habits that will help our kids grow into happy, healthy adults.

SECOND-CLASS PARENT SYNDROME
Examines some of the ways dads are perceived by family, friends, society and the media. How he’s often treated as a second-class parent, and portrayed as an incapable idiot. The truth is, modern-day dads are capable of being fully functional parents. Dads are not a stereotype: working men whose duty it is to make the money and steer clear of child raising.

CREATING A STRONG FOUNDATIONAL BALANCE
Finding balance between work, family and self can seem near impossible. As parents, it can often feel like we’re on a unicycle, constantly trying not to fall off while juggling work, kids, marriage, goals, etc. But there’s a different type of balance that can be achieved. It’s called our Foundational Balance, and as the name implies it’s the foundation that we stand on while we’re juggling all aspects of our lives. This workshop helps moms and dads discover, define and set a step-by-step plan of action so they can attain a strong Foundational Balance.

GOALS FOR DADS, KIDS AND THE FAMILY
Helps dads discover, define, set and attain their goals – even in the face of obstacles like exhaustion, negative emotions, lack of time and stress. This part of the workshop also includes a healthy dose of motivation, inspiration and a flexible action plan to help dad follow through.

DAD’S EMOTIONAL LIFE
Traditionally, dads have not been encouraged to talk about their emotions. But feelings
 like frustration, inadequacy, stress, sadness and fear need to be addressed, not suppressed. Dad’s emotional life has a direct effect on how successful he’s able to parent, and it’s a pivotal factor in his ability to define, set and attain his goals.
