Strong Fathers-Strong Families has facilitated hundreds of programs for thousands of fathers and families. This video from our recent training at the NHSA Annual Parent Training Conference gives you a little insight to what we have learned works for good programming.
As the father of two boys I never did much sewing on toys. However, I have hot glued wheels back onto axles, popped a lot of arms and legs back into superhero sockets, and tried to fix my share of electronics. Now that I have two teenage boys I find myself fixing more computer problems, helping with video projects, and talking more about girls and peer pressure than anything. I turned 44 this week (I know, I really look like I am 58) and I still have need of my father fixing things from time to time. It is our job, it is our responsibility, and I will always think of it as a privilege.
Here is a great example from our friends over at www.fatherhood.gov.
Besides “fixing” it is our hope that all Strong Fathers out there have fun with “some assembly required” this Christmas Season.
We at Strong Fathers cannot encourage you enough to have the “talk” with your kids. Thanks to Asylum for this IMPORTANT message for fathers and families.
Do not go another day without this important discussion

Just a simple video that we put together for parents who need to help kids with homework. One in a series. Let me know what you think, also let me know what we can cover in the future.
For many of our friends and clients around the country that will be starting school tomorrow.Here is a great dad and a great lunch idea for the first days of school, especially for some of you like my son who got special back to school wear!
Have a great day and a great year!
Here is a video for this week. Still working on the format and will definitely add some less boring content but it is a work in progress. Let me know what you like/don’t like in the comment section. We want to build on your input. Once we start events we will have plenty to talk about!
We work with fathers to help them help their kids be successful. We use this video in many of our presentations to show dads what it is going to take to be successful in a rapidly changing world. Great information but because it is a year old, it has already changed drastically again!
School started yesterday for most of our partner schools in Texas and many around the country. My wife and sons started middle school, high school, and college respectively. I went to work getting some things done and preparing for a busy school year with father-kid activities around Dallas-Fort Worth and training workshops around the country. After a long days work, I went to work out. When I returned to my vehicle, I had lost more than time and sweat…..An Impromptu video about what I have learned over the past few hours.
Let me know what you think.
My son would probably ask me to NOT do this if he finishes homework.
But whatever works for homework!
