Training Title
Creating Space for Fathers in Early Childhood Programs & Practices
Description
Research consistently reaffirms the benefits of positive fathering for children’s wellbeing and development across a range of domains ranging from education to behavioral and physical health. Likewise fathers’ engagement in early childhood programs and practices has the potential to boost the benefits of interventions for families and extend positive outcomes for children. Despite the benefits, father engagement is challenging as well. This interactive talk will begin with an overview of the research on the benefits of positive fathering and father engagement in early childhood programs and practices. Next, common barriers to father engagement will be explored, including changes over time in father inclusion in both broad services as well as those focused specifically on serving fathers. Finally, evidence-supported fatherhood programs and strategies will be described, including practical tips for participants.
