Having some qualms about being a new father? The NYC Dads
Group has teamed up with Tribeca Parenting and the
nationally acclaimed Boot Camp for New Dads to offer a series of New Dad Boot Camps!
—
Meet other new dads and connect with veteran papas for advice on everything
from the rewards and challenges of changing, swaddling and comforting your baby
to an open discussion about being a father. This community of dads believes that
when a man is actively engaged through the pregnancy and the first weeks of his
child’s life, he sets the stage for a lifetime of active involvement as a dad.
Other issues that will be discussed include being supportive of your baby’s mother,
developing a parenting partnership, creating a baby-safe environment, learning
how to juggle work as a new parent and managing relatives. Most
importantly, dads will come away feeling confident that they can bond with their new
babies.
The workshop meets for three hours, facilitated by a
trained member of the NYC Dads Group, from 10am-1pm.
October 29: Park Slope
November 5: Upper East Side
November 12: Tribeca
The NYC Dads Group is a community of dads that believe that fathers can
be just as nurturing (or distant), capable (or inept), and confident (or
scared) as mothers. We also know that when a dad is engaged through
pregnancy, birth, and the first weeks of his child’s lives, he sets the
foundation for a life as an active and involved parenting partner.
