• The lists within each activity module present generative activities that fathers can do with/for their children.
  • These activities are organized into 15 categories or dimensions that our colleague Rob Palkovitz developed and published in chapter 13 of Generative Fathering.
  • A variety of activities are listed by developmental stage of the child and in each of the 15 fathering dimensions, so that a father may assess himself and gain ideas for the future care of his children in their particular developmental stage.
  • We do not propose that a father must do every activity on the list--they are not checklists. They are more like a menu, offering suggestions from which each father can choose the activities most beneficial for his children and his situation.
  • Many of the activities also involve the children's mother. We realize that some situations do not allow the mother to be easily involved, and thus we suggest that each father should tailor the activities to fit his family's circumstances.
  • If you have any suggestions for additional activities, please email them to us.
