MOM as the Gateway
NFI Introduces Free Curriculum to help Moms and Dads Communicate
Mothers are a key factor for getting fathers involved. When both parents
can effectively co-parent together, their children benefit greatly.

The National Fatherhood Initiative has developed the Mom As Gateway curriculum module to help you break down barriers between mothers and fathers and facilitate helpful discussions and efforts towards
co-parenting. This module addresses what is known as Maternal Gatekeeping - when a mother's beliefs about a father, as well as her behaviors, hinder a father's involvement. Studies show that mothers' perceptions greatly influence fathers' involvement. To download curriculum visit http://www.fatherhood.org/modules/MomAsGateway/index.asp

"Perceptions of Fathers in the Media"
This DVD presentation is an exploration into the images, ideas, messages and portrayals of fathers in television media. It has always been a pastime of families to watch inspiring and innovative television. It is also part of our tradition to spend time in discussion of its relevance, views and potency. We are excited to present this DVD and accompanying curriculum that will help stimulate the conversation of fatherhood using the power of media. The DVD features Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, Kenneth Braswell, Greg Owens and David Miller.
We encourage you to use this tool in your organizations, faith-based institutions, programs and schools. Not only will this DVD help you address critical issues of family and fatherhood, but it will bring up some great memories for you as well. Email us at fatherhood@otda.state.ny.us ... to receive order form.
