Boot Camp for New Dads

I am writing this from a cozy little guest house in Denver, CO USA while I participate in Master Coach training for an innovative program called "Boot Camp for New Dads". This is a "dads only", prenatal program, where no ladies over 2ft tall are allowed! I have partnered with Birth Rhythms Pregnancy and Parenting Health Centre to bring this great program back to Saskatoon, SK (and the first in Canada) and am more than exited to get things going with it! Although nothing has been finalized, I am looking at possibly kicking off #bootcamp4newdadsSK on Father's day weekend with a "tail gate party". Follow my blog, or @homebirthdadBP for details. Boot camp for new dads gives expectant dads (rookies) a firsthand look at fatherhood by putting them in a room with current dads (veterans) and their babies. The facilitator or coach (me), guides the discussion and acts as a time keeper, while the little babies (teachers) and veterans, share their experiencees with the rookies. This program will be the first of its kind to come to Saskatchewan, and the first to be tailored specifically to men. I am really looking forward to getting things going in Saskatoon, and helping new dads be the best that they can be to the greatest gift of all! Thanks for reading! I look forward to keeping you updated on our program and other things in the great world of fatherhood. Take care everyone. Family first, B
