Description

24:7 Dad^® P.M. covers deeper fathering skills and topics, and is ideal for fathers who have already been through 24:7 Dad^® A.M. or another fatherhood program.

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" and it's Android & iPhone app-based counterpart, 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.
