Full Throttle Into Fatherhood by Roy Don Wooten Pdf

This curriculum was developed to help people who want to help fathers and expectant fathers achieve success. . The history of involving male teachers to help primarily young urban men who are about to become fathers had consisted of good-hearted upper middle class Christian men giving a lecture about what it means to be a father. The success of the program had been dismal as participants frequently reported that the instructors told too many personal stories, preached concepts they did not understand, and were too out of touch with their generation and their personal cultures. In response to this problem, we set out to develop a tool to give good-hearted upper middle class Christian men that would help them find success in their efforts to help young fathers learn what it means to be a father. This curriculum is meant to be an easy tool for helping volunteers and paraprofessionals be effective in educating fathers and expectant fathers to: 1)Discuss what manhood in our culture means; 2)Discover their powerful role in positive child outcomes for children; 3) Uncover common road blocks good fathers have in being successful fathers; 4)Learn how their fatherhood role is impacted by their experience of their father and father figures; 5) Understand how to handle challenges in relationship with their child's mom; 6) Identify common internal road blocks within men to fulfilling their important fatherhood role. The curriculum has been developed to work in a 2 hour training class for expectant and new fathers. However, if taken slowly, it could be taught in multiple sessions over time or in an expanded time frame. The curriculum is purposefully written in simple language for full participation across cultures. It is developed with the intention of having one two hour session because that is the model of the program for which it was developed. For that reason, the education materials are not comprehensive on the covered subject matter, but rather built for the purpose of giving a brief overview of the subjects covered. In our experience, repetition of the material has been helpful for participants to grasp in greater detail the concepts presented.Our intention is that this curriculum will be easily administered in a low tech or high tech environment, with or without use of program video and slides. We encourage facilitators to become familiar with the all aspects of the curriculum so that fathers and expectant fathers who attend the class will receive the content of the program even if there are problems with electronic equipment. It is our intention to not be overly religious with the material. Although the principles taught in this class have firm biblical basis, this curriculum is developed intentionally to serve people of all faiths and no faith. It is our intention to impact the next generation by impacting new and young fathers. We trust that the facilitators of this curriculum (within the policies of the organization or ministry within which they are providing services) will follow up with fathers interested in learning more about a relationship with God or more about what it means to be a father.

Essential Dads by Jennifer M. Randles Pdf

In Essential Dads, sociologist Jennifer Randles shares the stories of more than 60 marginalized men as they sought to become more engaged parents through a government-supported "responsible" fatherhood program. Dads' experiences serve as a unique window into long-standing controversies about the importance of fathering, its connection to inequality, and the state's role in shaping men's parenting. With a compassionate and hopeful voice, Randles proposes a more equitable political agenda for fatherhood, one that carefully considers the social and economic factors shaping men's abilities to be involved in their children's lives and the ideologies that rationalize the necessity of that involvement.

Nurturing Dads by William Marsiglio,Kevin Roy Pdf

American fathers are a highly diverse group, but the breadwinning, live-in, biological dad prevails as the fatherhood ideal. Consequently, policymakers continue to emphasize marriage and residency over initiatives that might help foster healthy father-child relationships and creative co-parenting regardless of marital or residential status. In Nurturing Dads, William Marsiglio and Kevin Roy explore the ways new initiatives can address the social, cultural, and economic challenges men face in contemporary families and foster more meaningful engagement between many different kinds of fathers and their children. What makes a good father? The firsthand accounts in Nurturing Dads show that the answer to this question varies widely and in ways that counter the mainstream "provide and reside" model of fatherhood. Marsiglio and Roy document the personal experiences of more than 300 men from a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds and diverse settings, including fathers-to-be, young adult fathers, middle-class dads, stepfathers, men with multiple children in separate families, and fathers in correctional facilities. They find that most dads express the desire to have strong, close relationships with their children and to develop the nurturing skills to maintain these bonds. But they also find that disadvantaged fathers, including young dads and those in constrained financial and personal circumstances, confront myriad structural obstacles, such as poverty, inadequate education, and poor job opportunities. Nurturing Dads asserts that society should help fathers become more committed and attentive caregivers and that federal and state agencies, work sites, grassroots advocacy groups, and the media all have roles to play. Recent efforts to introduce state-initiated paternity leave should be coupled with social programs that encourage fathers to develop unconditional commitments to children, to co-parent with mothers, to establish partnerships with their children's other caregivers, and to develop parenting skills and resources before becoming fathers via activities like volunteering and mentoring kids. Ultimately, Marsiglio and Roy argue, such combined strategies would not only change the policy landscape to promote engaged fathering but also change the cultural landscape to view nurturance as a fundamental aspect of good fathering. Care is a human experience—not just a woman's responsibility—and this core idea behind Nurturing Dads holds important implications for how society supports its families and defines manhood. The book promotes the progressive notion that fathers should provide more than financial support and, in the process, bring about a better start in life for their children.

This book from the editors of Fatherly, the largest digital brand for dads, is a one-stop source for fathers-to-be, empowering them to be the best parent they can be--with both confidence and joy.

This comprehensive guide walks fathers through everything they need to know--practically, emotionally, and philosophically--over the course of the first year of a baby’s life. The content is divided by developmental stage: Pregnancy up to birth Infancy (the first 500 days) Toddlerhood (days 500 to 1,000) By offering data, anecdotes, and expert-driven analysis, the authors prep dads for what’s ahead, letting them know they’re not alone on their journey.
