What are the benefits?
It is straightforward and fundamentally useful. It gives you strategies for approaching the varied challenges and joys of fatherhood with confidence and understanding. Being a father is the most challenging role you will ever have. It presents a constant mirror questioning who you are, how you act and what you value. It is tiring, particularly if you don't have clarity and consistency with your approach. A Better Dad is about giving you tools to lighten the load and focus your energies effectively to model the behavior you seek from yourself and your children.
Where do the strategies come from?

The strategies incorporate elements found in leading educational, psychological, cognitive-behavioural and socio-cultural approaches to parenting, teaching and learning.
