'Man Enough' is a 7 week parenting course for dads, based upon Family Caring Trust’s parenting programme for children one to five (‘Pram to Primary’) which covers: ignoring misbehaviour, training and encouraging responsibility, effective listening (empathy) and communication, respectful discipline, and quality time.
Over 15 years, Man Enough has tailored this programme for all types of male carers – including foster fathers, and those not living with their children. Facilitators' experience also includes teenagers, and children with disabilities, so the course can help carers of almost all children.
Dads have found the course useful, and in some cases life-changing. One dad "noticed my child's more loving towards me, as we play together now we've been on the course".
Another commented: “even though all the dads were from really different backgrounds, I relaxed and enjoyed it. We all had similar problems and it really helped me understand my kids and why they do the things they do.”
This course runs in the evening: no childcare is provided. There is no charge.
