New York Family Magazine: Five Big Truths About Fathers

The NYC Dads Group recently reached our fifth anniversary and will soon be launching a national site, City Dads Group.  A lot has happened in five years – NYC Dads Group has nearly 1,000 local members who have been to over 1,000 meetup events – everything from dad-child museum and playground outings to Dads Night out. We offer workshops including New Dad Boot Camp for the expectant dad, host monthly podcasts, and keep an active community blog highlighting diverse voices on the front lines of being a 21st Century Dad.

Matt and I reflected on our experiences, professional and personal, over the last five years, and boiled it down to five important truths we’ve learned about dads.  ‘Truth’ be told, we had quite a few more than five and weren’t able to include them based on space in the magazine.  Hope, it results in a part 2. We’re thrilled that New York Family Magazine published our article in their April issue to share with parents across the New York area. You can read the interview and complete article here – Five Truths About Fathers– or scoop up a free copy in the turquoise drop-boxes located on street-corners throughout NYC.
