The Fathering Project
Dad Dates
One of the most common and powerful tips we ever give at The Fathering Project would have to be Dad Dates. These dates have two very important components: Dad and one of your children. This week, we discuss the importance of taking your son on a Dad Date. These one-on-one Dad Dates help them feel special, loved and listened to. The date doesn’t have to be an extravagant or expensive event, it is about the time together one-on-one to play, talk, listen, laugh and have some fun.
Top Tips
1. Make it simple: The trip doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg. Camping, fishing, a trip to the cafe, or a weekend away visiting the local attractions or doing something you know they'll enjoy.
2. Keep a record: Write in a journal, take photos and videos.
3. Remember, they're your companion: Ask for their input on activities and places to visit.
