WE have meetings just for the males and single fathers so they can be a group of men discussing any concerns they may have with their children or even personal problems. They are not singaled out because they are invited to all our parent meetings. We just have a seperate group for males who wish to join. They do arts and crafts, have group discussions and if there are specific problems workshops are set up with professional speakers to further help. We try to make our centers male frindly by hanging pictures, speaking to dads as well as moms and inviting them to voluteer whether it be on field trips, helping in the class or anything that may interest them. We have quite q few single fathers and the numbers seem to go up every year. If anyone has any other ideas to get males more involved please e-mail me. Hope this helps and thanks.
