Aligning Father and Daughters

Parenting is full of challenges and fostering a strong relationship between a father and daughter can be one of the most difficult to navigate. Our society and its values have shifted dramatically in just two generations which means daughters and fathers are faced with greater social and personal pressure than ever before – both as individuals and within the family unit. This programme aims to provide you with the insight and skills to help father a daughter who is courageous, resilient and flexible to the demands of the world.

In most families it is the father-daughter relationship that will define your daughter’s sense of self in relation to boys and men – that’s a huge responsibility for any dad! Being aware of your influence and how this will impact on your daughter is just the first step.

This is a series of three workshops, each with three sessions, for partnered or single fathers. The three workshops are:

1. Awareness – where we raise individual and group thinking to identify the key issues in being a great father.
2. Alignment – the key in being able to maintain constructive influence in your relationship with your daughter.
3. Attunement – where we work on keeping the relationship on track through the changes in your daughter’s development.

This programme looks to explore a deeper understanding of being a father to a daughter. It suitable for any father – whether your daughter is a newborn, preteen, teenager or adult – who wants to be a great father.

• All fathers, with a daughter or daughters of any age from newborn through to adulthood.
• Any father who wants to improve his relationship with his daughter.
