April 10, 2008 by George Jacobs Ph.D. and Wan Loh Inn Ed.D. 1 Comment

In addition to reading aloud to children from books written by other people, dads and children can also make their own books.

Guide for Dads: Teaching About Language Through Reading Aloud

April 10, 2008 by George Jacobs Ph.D. and Wan Loh Inn Ed.D. Leave a Comment

Guide for Dads: Making Predictions are Fun

April 4, 2008 by George Jacobs Ph.D. and Wan Loh Inn Ed.D. Leave a Comment

A special type of question are prediction questions that ask children to make an informed guess about what will happen next in a story. Prediction questions develop children’s logical thinking skills. The key is this: Do not only ask for a prediction, also ask for the reasoning behind the prediction. The principle we must bear in mind is: the quality of a prediction is … [Read more...] about Guide for Dads: Making Predictions are Fun

Great Dad Talks

Great Dad Talks is a series of conversations with experts on all aspects of the family adventure. With the perspective that “dads don’t always think like moms,” our mission is to support dad voices and our slightly different approaches to parenting. We’ll try to find solutions to every day challenges like getting kids off the couch and making STEM classes available for both boys and girls. But we’ll also tackle bigger issues when they come. The one main theme will be to support dads in the most important role of their lives that of being a great dad.
