Carpé Dadum! Seize the day, Dad!

 

Do you

• have a son between 11 and 13?
• want to ensure you’re building a relationship with him that will stand the test of time?
• wonder whether you’re well-placed enough to teach your son the most important lessons for his life as he heads into adolescence?
• ever get concerned about the older kids at school, the ones smoking, drinking, using, the ones who could drag your boy down if they get the chance?
• want your son to come to you when his friends offer him ecstasy at 15, and say “Dad, what should I do?” before he takes it?

If you said yes to even a couple of these questions, YOU REALLY NEED TO READ THIS!

You aren’t alone in your concerns, and you can make all the difference, because you have what it takes…

You can take ACTION to build a stronger bond with the boy, before he hits the rough waters of that time between Boyhood and Manhood.

A Dads & Sons Weekend is designed to get you two playing, talking and connecting. It will cost you three days out of your calendar, to have some fun with your son doing things you wouldn’t ordinarily do, reconnecting deeply with him.

Our retreats include activities such as surfing, snorkelling with sea dragons, hut-building, outdoor/indoor laser skirmish, archery and a final nice long hike where you and your son can conquer a challenge while talking together as men. All stuff you wouldn’t do in your normal day-to-day life. [Activities vary according to availability and season]

Think back, remember what the boy was like at 6 years old, when your every word was law: is he changing now, starting to challenge you? If he hasn’t yet, he will: as men it’s in our nature to challenge authority, even though you’re just trying to steer him on the right path. The big question to answer here is WILL HE LISTEN TO YOU WHEN IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT? And how can you position yourself so that he does?

That’s just one of the things we talk about  on this retreat in two short Dad-only sessions , rethinking your approach to relationship, while the boys are outside playing supervised games in the pool.

Dad, you’re half way there toward building a great young adult, but just like any job worth doing, you need to keep putting in the hours all the way to the end to get the results.

But nobody said it wasn’t allowed to be FUN! Come away to the Mornington Peninsula for a few days of action, reflection and more action that you and your son will remember forever…

Life travels at lightspeed. We blink and we’re dads. We blink again and we’re looking at a boy about to step up into Manhood. We hear so many terrible stories about young guys ensnared by crime, drugs, binge drinking, unprotected sex and unwanted pregnancies and STDs. Retreat Facilitator Pete Aldin has seen it happen, has visited boys in the local copshop, at Port Phillip Prison, has been out on the street at midnight looking for the runaway…

Don’t let the most important thing in your life, the one who carries your name forward, become another sad story, another statistic.

Seize the day, Dad! Take a time out with your son, carve out a chunk from your calendar and give it him (and to yourself!) as a gift.

This March, we’re offering 15 lucky Dads the opportunity to firm up that bond. NOW! Before the terrible teens arrive!
