For Dads

As a dad there are lots of opportunities for you to get involved in your child's life. From helping chaperone the school trip, to reading together, to coaching the Little League team, take advantage of the time you can spend together!

Becoming more involved in your child's life can take a lot of different forms. At every stage your children can benefit from your involvement. Read with young children. Join the elementary school parent teacher organization. Chaperone a school event. Volunteer as a coach, or ask your child's coach in what way he could use your help. Take a rainy Saturday and turn it into a family movie night.

Take time to be a positive and supporting part of your child's life. The resources and links here are a great starting place to learn more.
