A programme to help all fathers-to-be

Men often feel differently from their partners as they await the birth of a child, a lot of energy towards the mother-to-be, can often isolate the father to be. Work pressures or divorce can then change their fathering role as their children grow up. Whatever the situation, men need reassurance and help too in being a good parent.

This 50-minute programme is an invaluable guide for helping men understand and cope with the changes in their lives brought about by becoming a DAD!

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME BIRTH AND PARENTHOOD HAS BEEN LOOKED AT FROM THE FATHER’S POINT OF VIEW.

“I think I can speak for all our members when I say that we would all have gained by seeing this video before the birth of our first child” said David Lidington, Chairman of Families Need Fathers.

Using the experiences of ten very different men, DADS! will help all prospective fathers understand and cope with the changes in their lives that parenthood brings. These are not “new men” but regular guys who talk honestly and simply about their experiences, anxieties and hopes for the future.

Introduced by Michael O’Donnell, now an award winning journalist and broadcaster, but for many years a family doctor.

DADS! Covers all the major issues for expectant fathers, including:- Before the Birth Father & Baby Bonding Relationships with partners/baby Changes in priorities Back Home Ongoing Fatherhood.

Made by the producer of the award-winning programme BIRTH - Eight Women’s Stories, DADS! was awarded a Certificate of Educational Merit by the British Medical Association
