dads WANT TO BE SUPPORTIVE, INVOLVED PARENTS, BUT THERE IS A PROBLEM

Most dads feel alone and without any type of support for their fatherhood journey.

Many dads also feel like:

    • they don’t have the skills
    • it’s hard to connect with their kids
    • the stress of work, family and money is overwhelming
    • they’re failing as a partner and provider for their family
    • some even wonder, will I screw my kid up?

    But it doesn’t have to be this way.

    Dad Central is the most trusted name in fatherhood in Canada. For 22+ years we’ve helped dads be more involved in their kid’s lives.

    We have the most successful fatherhood programs and tools – validated by research.

    testimonials

    "Before I came across DadMentor, I felt overwhelmed at times struggling to figure this parenting thing out… After coming across DadMentor, I feel more confident that I have practical tools and support to help me build a strong foundation… If you’re a dad who desires to become a better father, the DadMentor program is your treasure chest waiting to be opened."

    Sherwin, Dad of one

    "Dad Central’s content for expectant dads stood out for me because it didn’t overcomplicate. This is unlike most of the parenting classes that I did with my wife. I found that the classes would turn most topics into 1000 things to not do and 1000 things to remember to do. The overriding theme is that the more that I engage with Dad Central, the less overwhelming dad life feels."

    Jordan, Dad of one

    "A great framework for establishing a healthy and productive relationship with my daughter. The advice has broad applications not just for dads but for success in general. The idea about self control and not dwelling on mistakes is especially helpful. "

    Marek, dad of one

    "Dad Central is a great resource to share with new fathers, and fathers who want to be better parents. There is not a lot of support for fathers, so this is especially valuable because it is reliable, informative, and accessible to everyone."

    "I like that the… language used is very easy to understand and the actions for each week really help to build confidence as a parent."

    Tina, works with dads

    "I work with dads and teach different parenting courses. Dad Central is one of my go to sites for materials. I love the Parenting Manuals and have shared them with many dads over the years. I recommend Dad Central to the fathers that I work with as a tool in their Parenting Toolbox."

    You’re a dad. We can help.

    Meet Your Mentors

    Drew Soleyn - DadMentor Creator

    I’ve been working hard at my own fatherhood journey for more than 11 years. 

    But I didn’t always know how to be the dad I wanted to be. In fact, for a while I struggled as a dad. 

    I wanted to be happier, feel more in control, and connected to my wife and kids. That was what mattered most to me.

    But some days, it felt like things were going backwards. 

    On really bad days, I wondered if I was really cut out to be a dad – even though deep in my soul being a great dad was what I wanted to succeed at more than anything.

    That’s when I reengaged with my mentor John C. Maxwell. In 2018 I became a Maxwell Certified leadership Coach and Trainer. 

    Then in 2019, I enrolled in Dr. Laura Markham’s Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids online course. 

    I hired a coach, began talking to other dads, and researched support for dads. Surprisingly, there wasn’t much.

    As I grew my skills and supported dads through Connected Dads and Dad Central, I saw many other dads with similar struggles. This process clarified what made the single biggest difference in showing up at our best for those who matter most. 

    What I learned led me to create a framework that is now DadMentor and the Dad’s Roadmap.

    Built off THREE C’s, I helps dads effectively:

    • Connect
    • Collaborate, & 
    • Coach

    To see incredible transformation in their fatherhood. I’ve lived it myself and have helped hundreds of dads apply the principles to their life.

    Dr. Gregory Fabiano has reviewed portions of the Dad’s Roadmap and it’s audio lessons and had this to say:

    The [Dad’s roadmap] figure is really outstanding, I don’t think I’ve seen a course outline laid-out quite as nice as this.

    I thought one thing that was really great was how concise the individual audio files were.  My attention span (which is short!) was never taxed. I thought the boundaries discussion was really good. 

    I also liked how there was space for some engagement (e.g., stop to breathe, think about actual goals for SMART goals).

    Stylistically it is really easy to listen too, and I like how it is peppered with specific examples throughout.

    I really thought this was a terrific product! Greg

      Fatherhood makes men better—at work and at home. Research says this only happens whey they are fully engaged in the work of parenting. Source

      Becoming a father increases your potential to earn more money. Source

      When dads are positively involved at home their health improves. Source

      Involved fathers have a greater sense of PURPOSE and MEANING. Source

      BUT, these benefits don’t happen AUTOMATICALLY.

      Like everything worthwhile, it TAKES WORK.

      “Every worthwhile accomplishment has a price tag attached to it. The question is always whether you are willing to pay the price to attain it - in hard work, sacrifice, patience, faith, and endurance."

      – John C. Maxwell
