I had no clue about how to be a great dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why?<br><br>Because I grew up in a father-absent home. My dad lived with me and my brother for a good part of our childhood, but he was a horrible father. He was absent emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. He wasn\u2019t home much. He worked all the time, even though he didn\u2019t need to. He and my mom eventually got a divorce. I didn\u2019t see him again for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I resolved that, when I became a dad, I\u2019d be different. I\u2019d be there for my kids in all the ways a dad should be\u2014physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually present for them <em>and<\/em> their mom. The challenge was that I didn\u2019t have a resource to turn to that could tell me how to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news for you, my friend, is there\u2019s a fantastic new resource called <a href=\"https:\/\/profathering.fatherhood.org\/\">ProFathering15<sup>\u2122<\/sup><\/a>by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fatherhood.org\/\">National Fatherhood Initiative<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/a>, the nation\u2019s leading fatherhood organization. I\u2019m president of that organization. And I\u2019m honored to share this resource with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ProFathering15<sup>\u2122<\/sup> can help you on the journey to be the best dad you can be. It\u2019s for any dad. An expectant dad. A new dad. A dad who has raised children for a while. A grandad raising his grandchild. It\u2019s also for father figures\u2014incredible people who step into the fatherhood role when a child doesn\u2019t have a dad in their life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also for dads who never knew their dad. It\u2019s for dads who had a bad dad or good dad, or somewhere in between. No matter your child\u2019s age, there\u2019s always something new to learn about being a great dad!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ProFathering15<sup>\u2122<\/sup> is a self-paced online course that covers 15 topics that apply to any dad or father figure who wants to raise great kids. Topics like discipline, co-parenting, and fathering skills. Each topic gets to the point. No BS. No preaching. Just the facts. It\u2019s based on evidence about what works and doesn\u2019t work in being a great dad. And it\u2019s an easy read that includes inspiring videos that\u2019ll make you smile. You can complete each topic in 15 minutes or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One more thing. There\u2019s not a quiz or test! You\u2019ll get a certificate of completion at the end of the course in case you want to share it with your child, child\u2019s mom (or your partner), or a court to show you\u2019re focused on being a great dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can learn more about ProFathering15<sup>\u2122<\/sup> <a href=\"https:\/\/profathering.fatherhood.org\/\">here<\/a>. Before you enroll, you can see each of the 15 topics and watch a <a href=\"https:\/\/profathering.fatherhood.org\/pages\/profathering15-preview\">free preview<\/a> of the course that\u2019ll give you a feel for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trust me when I say, \u201cTake this course!\u201d It\u2019ll make a huge difference in your life, your child\u2019s life, and anyone else with a stake in your child\u2019s well-being. (Can you say mom or partner!) It\u2019s affordable. It won\u2019t take a chunk out of your wallet. It\u2019s way less than you\u2019d spend on a week of coffees from Starbuck\u2019s. Your kids and family are worth the small investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Not familiar with National Fatherhood Initiative<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>?
