    When moms complete Understanding Dad™ before Mom as Gateway™, it primes them to address their gatekeeping behavior more openly during the latter. After Understanding Dad™ helps moms reflect on how their upbringing affects how they relate to dad, the importance of dads to child well-being, and learn practical communication skills to effectively interact with dad, they're more open to addressing their gatekeeping behavior head on during Mom as Gateway™.
