Dads Behaving Dadly Project: Chronicling the Fatherhood Revolution
Welcome to the Dads Behaving Dadly Project! The project’s mission is to write a book which chronicles the real lives of active, engaged fathers in the United States, Canada, England and Australia.
We believe it’s time to not only acknowledge all the good dads and great things they do for their families and community, but to also give dads an opportunity to let their voices be heard.
The major content for the book will consist of stories from dads like you. With your contribution and those of other dads, Dads Behaving Dadly hopes to accomplish the following:
- Rebrand the image of fatherhood by highlighting all that is good about dads.
- Provide good role models for other dads to follow.
- Help the public recognize and appreciate fatherhood.
- Acknowledge the benefits of a dad’s presence in a child’s life and respective communities.
- Validate a father’s contribution to parenting.
If you agree with the mission and goals of this project, we invite you to turn to the Submission Guidelines Page and follow the instructions on how to submit your story. DEADLINE IS AUGUST 31, 2013.
Also, please take a moment to read more about us on the About The Editors Page to find out more about our other efforts at advocacy for fatherhood.
We look forward to reading your story.
Sincerely,
Hogan Hilling and Al Watts, Editors
Dads Behaving Dadly: Chronicles of the Fatherhood Revolution
Tell us what you think about the project.
Good idea wish it was some 35 yrs ago when there were no support groups for us fathers. I cant give you my story because there is no way to chronicle every moment that had an affect on either my sons life or mine or my opinion of how i viewed other fathers doing or not doing what they did. As fortune would have it in my case things are working out well, but i have seen other fathers that did the same but the children did not follow the same course. What is happening here is better late than never. The reason i do not wish to be part of this project is that what might be said considered boasting on accomplishments that are not mine but the achievements of my son. thank you and keep pursuing this agenda its greatly needed by those that do what they do in the shadows and are never rewarded or seek reward than the love of what they do.
Nice to read your blog
