FOCUS ON FATHERS

A father’s role is critical to a child’s healthy development.  This connection builds a strong foundation in language, critical thinking, physical skills, social and emotional learning, and so much more!  Join us and other fathers and father-figures for a Zoom series to explore parenting tips and learn ways to strengthen your relationship with your child.  Attendance at all sessions is not required.  Join us for one, several, or all sessions!

The schedule of sessions will be held on the following dates from 6-7pm. You will be contacted at the email you provided each week by an Extension Educator to remind you of upcoming sessions. Attend one or all sessions.

Tuesday, October 8: Fathers Teach Perspective Taking
Tuesday, November 12: Dads Promote Persistence, Dedication, and Hard Work
Tuesday, December 10: Fathers Help Children Solve Problems
