DadsforLife Movement
DadsforLife is a national movement to inspire and involve fathers to be good influencers in their children’s lives for life.
The movement is strongly anchored in research that highlights the distinct benefits of paternal involvement on child development in terms of improved cognitive, socio-emotional, psychological and academic outcomes. Active paternal involvement is also linked to better couple relationships among parents, lower levels of maternal stress, and positive changes in fathers’ self-identity, all of which suggest overall benefits for the family.
DadsforLife Toolkit
The ‘Toolkit Pack’ contains tips for father, a wristband, a custom pin, a photo card and stickers, each carrying a symbolic meaning.
• The wristband is in red and white. Red symbolizes life that anchors a father and child relationship while white symbolizes the transfer of sound values from father to child.
• The custom pin depicts the DadsforLife logo.
We invite fathers to wear the wristband and custom pin as a symbol of their commitment to be more involved in their children’s lives.
• The photo card with a family picture inserted can be placed on workstations or at home to remind fathers of those happy family moments.
• The stickers can be used in calendars and planners, serving to mark important family events. They can also be given to children as mini rewards or encouragement.
DadsforLife.sg provides the latest research evidence, resources, events and ideas so that fathers can acquire fathering tools for themselves. At the same time, it provides a platform for community discussions so that fathers can share with each other their journey, knowledge and experiences.
