five things every kid needs from dad

This one hour conversation discusses 5 things every kid needs from dad and how those 5 needs differ between daughters and sons

Recent research out of Quebec on paternal involvement identifies two key factors of father satisfaction: 1) watching one’s children grow, develop and learn; and 2) seeing one’s children succeed and overcome challenges.

The research is clear; but how do you know if you’re on track? Things also feel so much harder since COVID hit.

If you’re a dad, you may even wonder – do I need to parent my daughter differently than my son? Or maybe you’re a dad with daughters and you’re not sure how to navigate your relationship.

Dad Central knows the challenges dads face, has research on fatherhood, and resources to help. This conversation outlines the five things that every daughter and son needs from dad. There are differences, and as dads, adjusting to what our kids need will help them succeed.

This one hour conversation provides:

  • Actionable steps you can apply right now
  • Advice on overcoming challenges
  • Affirmation for what you’re doing right
  • A complete understanding how to apply the 5 things that sons and daughters need most
  • As a result, you’ll know you’re on track and see your kids developing well.

Research shows dads are critical to the success and development of their children. When dads are positively involved, children do better in school, have less behavioral problems, do better socially, and are mentally and emotionally healthier. Invest in your parenting now to help them overcome life’s challenges and achieve their potential.

While this conversation is great for dads, it’s also highly valuable to family service professionals by discussing the unique needs that daughters and sons have of dads.
