DAD FROM A DISTANCE
DAD FROM A DISTANCE
How non-custodial fathers can and still should be fantastic Dads
PROGRAM LENGTH
4hrs+
​
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Developed from themes and strategies from his book of the same name, Dad from A Distance lays out in very real and stark terms an entire menu of practical and tactical strategies that can elevate any non-custodial father’s level of engagement with his children. It also lays out how to navigate all the obstacles (real and imagined) that can stand in the way of that goal. The backdrop of all of these strategies is the premise that because a child lives in a fatherless home doesn’t mean he or she has to have a fatherless life.
