Dads’ Discussion Group

DADS’ DISCUSSION GROUP

Dads Support

 

Parenting the “outside the box” child from a dad’s perspective.

 

Are you a problem solver, but out of solutions on how to help your child? Are you and your spouse struggling to parent your child’s behavior?

 

3 Part Series Dads’ Discussion Group

Kicking off …NEW DATE TO BE ANNOUNCED

When you receive a diagnosis for a child, whether it’s sensory/processing based, speech related, developmental, or behavioral – it’s often jarring and confusing. Dad may begin to question his parenting choices, or feel guilt, fear, anxiety and anger. Ultimately, dad may even choose to deal with this by creating a plan of action. But how? How to make things better – what to do – how to help?

Child Success Center is presenting a Dads’ Discussion Group in a series of 3 evenings this fall designed to provide insights into self-care, ways to support your child and partner, information about diagnosis, provide camaraderie (you are not alone), and provide tools needed to maintain patience and a perspective of positivity to focus on the strengths of all involved. This feedback and constructive re-training will be helpful as dad endeavors to adjust to the new situation and systems in place.

Whether you’re the stay at home dad, primary care giver, tag-teammate, or weekend warrior- all roles are welcome to discuss how and what you can do to make the most of this challenging phase of childhood.
