Description

Innovative creative ideas for interactions and sessions for fathers ideally with their children - Dads have told us they do not want "Dads' football"... Sessions should help fathers engage with their children's development, be active and positive male role models, and increase their confidence in their role as a parent. Suggestions should be affordable and sustainable and easy for fathers to duplicate at no/low cost at home with their children. Some suggestions by Dads have included: - • Science / experiments activities • Discovery / exploration activities • Construction activities • Sport activities • Ways to engage with their daughters and sons on a personal level e.g. hair braiding Sessions that run during the day or early evenings Monday to Friday as well as Saturday mornings, ideally with but also without their children, will be considered. No duplication of existing statutory midwifery / Health visitor services, or any of the parenting programmes offered within Bromley's Children and Family Centres Sessions should be at least 60mins but not exceed 1hr 45mins, and work effectively as 'stand-alone' sessions.
