What Kids Need From Their Dads…But Won’t Ask For, a talk by parenting expert, John Badalament, presented by Parent to Parent

This powerful presentation for men and women sets forth a clear new vision of modern fatherhood. Drawing on stories from his new book, The Modern Dads Dilemma: How to Stay Connected to Your Kids in a Rapidly Changing World, Badalament will share his expertise on the role fathers play in children’s lives.  He will use video clips from his films, the latest research, and his extensive professional experience as an educator, counselor and trainer to provide practical parenting tools as well as key insights into meeting the challenges of modern family life.


A graduate of Harvard’s Graduate School of Education, John is the director of the acclaimed PBS documentary, All Men are Sons: Exploring the Legacy of Fatherhood.  His work on modern fatherhood has been featured on ABC News, NPR, and The Boston Globe, among others.
