Good Dads Strong Schools is a before-school program intended to help fathers (including stepfathers, grandfathers, and father figures) be more engaged with their children. The material may also be used with mothers, but its intention is to help children become more connected with their fathers in a way that is supportive of their positive communication and education.
Each installment of the
Strong Schools program contains eight low-tech, tactile activities intended to promote father-child conversation on character-building topic, such as teamwork and cooperation, gratitude and appreciation, patience, decision-making and more.
The program invites dads and kids to come together before school once a month to share breakfast, make memories and bond. Not only are students building stronger connections with their fathers and father-figures, dads are also developing positive parent-school relationships.
