What is the 24:7 Dad® Key Behaviors Workshop?

The 24:7 Dad® Key Behaviors Workshop Facilitator’s Kit is a brief, flexible fatherhood workshop designed to help fathers develop practical behaviors that support effective fathering. It is shorter than the standard 24:7 Dad® A.M. and P.M. programs and can be delivered in as little as one day (about 8 hours).

This workshop can be offered to any dad, whether or not they have completed other 24:7 Dad® curriculum, and is adaptable for group settings, one-on-one facilitation, or virtual delivery.

What is the purpose and focus of this workshop?

This workshop introduces fathers to key behaviors that align with the five characteristics of a 24:7 Dad: Self-Awareness, Caring for Self, Fathering Skills, Parenting Skills, and Relationship Skills. It also includes two “bonus” behaviors that help dads strengthen how they apply what they learn.

What are the 12 key behaviors fathers learn in this workshop?

Fathers participating in the workshop learn twelve essential behaviors organized around the five 24:7 Dad® characteristics, plus two bonus behaviors: - Working with accountability partners - Reflecting weekly - Caring for physical health - Caring for emotional health - Developing fathering and family role skills - Modeling healthy masculinity - Practicing healthy discipline - Nurturing their children - Communicating effectively with co-parents - Communicating effectively with their children - Building and maintaining positive co-parenting relationships - Paying it forward and engaging with the community
