Description

24:7 Dad^® is an evidence-based fatherhood program used by hundreds of organizations across the nation to improve the knowledge, behavior, and skills of dads of all races, religions, and demographics. The program is built on the basis that fathers can be nurturers, and for men, nurturing is a learned skill. Throughout the program, men examine their own fatherhood history, learn the 5 characteristics of a 24:7 Dad^®, and other important behaviors such as working with mom and proper child discipline to help them be the best dads they can be.

Now in it's Third Edition, 24:7 Dad^® has been enhanced to meet requests and suggestions made by facilitators in the field. Research-based additions such as the "My 24:7 Dad^® Checklist", videos to enhance and add variety to the delivery of the program, father-attendee materials now provided in Spanish, and reference cards in the fathering handbooks bring this program to the next level.

This bundle includes both the 24:7 Dad^® A.M. and P.M. versions. 24:7 Dad^® A.M. is perfect for the dad who lacks the knowledge and skills to be a good father, 24:7 Dad^® AM focuses on basic, key fathering characteristics, while 24:7 Dad^® P.M. is great for dads dads who have already completed 24:7 Dad^® AM, or who are ready to deal with more in-depth fathering subject matter

SHIPPING NOTE: The items in this bundle won't be physically bundled together; they'll be packed loosely and potentially mixed with other items in your order. If you prefer pre-bundling, please let us know in advance so we can accomodate.
