Parenting spaces are not just for mothers, so it’s time for the fathers to shine! In this panel of six incredible dads, they provide a powerful example of parents who have experienced tremendous growth after embracing mentorship for their parenting. Each of these dads has been a part of Vanessa’s Family Foundations Immersion program and share the most important things they’ve learned from the program, the personal growth and development they’ve experienced, and insights from the ups and downs of their unique parenting journeys.

In part one, the dads discuss the importance of emotional regulation, the steps they’ve taken to achieve family cohesion, and the immense personal growth that they’ve found on their journey to becoming even better fathers. Listen for tools and strategies that have produced real-life positive results for their families and for powerful reminders to give ourselves the same grace that we give our children. You, too, can learn to understand your children’s emotions and how to better manage them, and along the way, you might just learn how to harness your own emotions for greater healing and success.

Here are the topics we covered on Dad Panel Part 1: Finding Personal Growth and Development Through Parenting.
