Research shows that when fathers are involved with their children from the beginning their children do better socially and academically. A fathers early engagement is linked to, fewer behavioural problems and increased language development.
Future Dads courses aim to help you:
โข Enhance your competence & confidence in your new role as a father
โข Prepare you to engage more actively in the pregnancy
โข Introduce practical skills you will need with your baby
โข Highlight your importance & help you discover the kind of father you want to be.
What FUTURE DADS participants say:
โEvery dad wants the best start in life for their kids and the EFP equipped me with the information I needed to feel confident I could do that for my little boy.โ
