Being a Dad
Dads play a vital role in all aspects of their kids’ lives. As an affectionate, supportive, healthy and involved dad, you can contribute greatly to your child’s well-being and success in life. The earlier you are involved with your child, the more connected you will be as they grow. The ideas and information in this booklet are based on real life dads’ experiences, and will add to your thoughtfulness, confidence and effectiveness as a dad.
“I was a single dad when I found myself in a new relationship and having full custody of my children. I started taking an active approach with encouraging my children and others in sports and activities outside of school, and in school progress as well. I love being a dad and never would like to have it any other way. Looking forward to other dads’ stories, support, and encouragements, and Dads in Gears’ activities to help me quit smoking and stay quit.” -Chris
“When you just find out that you’re going to have a baby, a lot of different things go through your head, and a lot of different pressures, right? There’s a lot of stuff that’s going to change, and new things to think about that you never thought about before.”
