Fathering Programmes

Dads Alive

Man Alive is providing a skills programme for fathers.

Fathers of toddlers, fathers of teenagers, fathers of adults. The course is delivered by Joe Waru - a trained and experienced presenter.

This is a ten-week programme that offers answers to many of the questions we ask ourselves everyday.

This is a programme for ordinary guys who simply want to be better DADS.

The world's on your case and you don't know why!!!

'That's how my parents did it'
'A good whack never hurt me'
'Kids don't listen these days'
'The kids are growing up so fast'
'Kids have no respect these days'

If you've ever had any of these thoughts, come along and talk with like-minded guys, men who wonder...

'How do I protect my kids from this scary world'
'How do I teach them respect?'
'How do I get them to listen?'
'What can I do if I can't whack them?'
'Can I make them slow down and enjoy childhood?'

Why is Fathering Important?

Healthier communities
