Dads, we know how important you are in the lives of your children.
- Do you think you have enough time to bond with them when they are infants? What made you feel closest to your baby?
- At what age do children need their Dads most? Is it the same age for male and female children? Were you able to be there then?
- Maybe you’re struggling to bond with your child, or you feel your bond faltering. How does that make you feel? What steps are you taking to change the situation?
- Maybe you’ve got a great relationship with your kid. What are your “go-to” activities or parenting tricks that keep that bond strong?
- The US is one among only a few modern nations that do not offer any paid paternity leave. How does this affect men? What does it say about the value our society places on Dads?

The Good Men Project is different from most media companies. We are a “participatory media company”—which means we don’t just have content you read and share and comment on but it means we have multiple ways you can actively be a part of the conversation. As you become a deeper part of the conversation (Which really is “The Conversation No One Else is Having), you will learn all of the ways we support our Writer’s Community—community FB groups, weekly conference calls, classes in writing, editing platform building and more.
