8th Annual Daddy Daughter Dance
2025-03-29 09:00 - 12:00 | San Bernardino Fatherhood, 1274 S. Waterman Ave, San Bernardino, CA, 92408, United States
San Bernardino Fatherhood is excited to invite you to our 8th Annual Daddy Daughter Dance, which will be held on Saturday, March 29, 2025, from 4:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m., at the Inland Career Education Center; located at 1200 N. E Street, San Bernardino, CA 92405.
Our Daddy Daughter Dance targets fathers/father-figures and their daughters/daughter-figures from the ages of 5 yrs and older. The purpose for hosting this amazing event is to:
Raise awareness to the importance of the positive relationship between fathers and/or father-figures and their daughters or daughter-figures.
Provide a supportive environment for connecting and strengthening the bond between fathers and/or father-figures and their daughters or daughter-figures.
There is overwhelming research that shows, in most cases, when fathers are positively involved, daughters are often:
More self-confident and self-reliant.
More successful in school and in their careers.
More individualized, self-directed, self-sufficient and self-regulated.
Have better communication and problems solving skills.
Less likely to develop depression, anxiety and eating disorders.
Less likely to engage in risky sexual behaviors.
More able to trust, enjoy and relate well to other male figures in their life.
(Father/Daughter Relationships, Nielsen, 2012)
This year’s Daddy Daughter Dance theme is “Fathers Blessing Daughters”. Our presenters will inform fathers and father-figures the importance of blessing their daughters with “words of affirmations”, “quality time”, “physical touch”, “acts of service”, and “receiving gifts”.
Then will be a formal (voluntary) ceremony with fathers/father-figures committing to bless their daughters/daughter-figures and daughters/daughter-figures committing to honor their fathers.
Other activities will include food, music, dance, opportunity drawings, photo booths, and fun for all!

San Bernardino Fatherhood Aims to Address Black Infant Mortality, Helps Dads Build Their Skills
2023-07-01 01:00 - 10:00
Recognizing higher rates of Black infant mortality in California, the Perinatal Equity Initiative, or PEI, was launched in 2018 to address causes of this disparity and look at best practices. Under the PEI, San Bernardino Fatherhood, a nonprofit based in Highland, was contracted by the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health to provide fatherhood services. Working with the fathers and partners of pregnant and parenting African American women with a child under a year old, the organization aims to assist in the elimination of Black infant mortality.
Recognized by the state as an impactful intervention, the organization’s 24/7 Dad program, educates men on the tools, behaviors and attitudes needed for fathers to help their children thrive. The program provides 12 group sessions that each last two hours. Participants explore their family history and experiences with fatherhood and then learn the characteristics of a 24/7 Dad. Characteristics include self-awareness, self-care, fathering, parenting and relationship skills. Participants are also given guidance on maintaining a positive co-parenting relationship with their child’s mother. The next 24/7 Dad program will be offered at the end of July at a location that has not yet been announced.

Navigating the Journey: Understanding Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Role of New Dads Boot Camp
2021-12-12 15:50
Introduction:
Embarking on the journey of parenthood is an awe-inspiring experience, filled with anticipation, excitement, and perhaps a hint of apprehension. While pregnancy and childbirth primarily affect mothers physically, the role of fathers is equally vital in providing support and understanding. This is where initiatives like New Dads Boot Camps step in, offering invaluable resources and guidance to empower fathers-to-be in their transition to parenthood.
Understanding Pregnancy and Childbirth:
The miracle of pregnancy unfolds over approximately nine months, during which a woman’s body undergoes remarkable changes to nurture and sustain new life. From the first fluttering kicks to the final moments of labor, each stage brings its own set of challenges and joys. It’s crucial for both partners to educate themselves about the physical and emotional aspects of pregnancy, as well as the various options available for childbirth.
Childbirth, while a natural process, can be an overwhelming experience, especially for first-time parents. Understanding the stages of labor, pain management techniques, and potential complications can help alleviate anxiety and promote a more positive birthing experience. Additionally, familiarizing oneself with the roles of healthcare providers, such as obstetricians, midwives, and doulas, empowers parents to make informed decisions about their birthing preferences.
The Role of New Dads Boot Camp:
New Dads Boot Camps, pioneered by the National Fatherhood Initiative, are immersive workshops designed to prepare expectant fathers for the challenges and joys of parenthood. These sessions are led by experienced facilitators—often veteran dads—who provide practical insights, advice, and support based on their own experiences. The curriculum covers a wide range of topics, including childbirth education, infant care, breastfeeding support, and postpartum adjustment.
One of the key strengths of New Dads Boot Camps is their emphasis on hands-on learning. Fathers-to-be have the opportunity to practice essential caregiving skills, such as diapering, swaddling, and soothing techniques, under the guidance of experienced mentors. This practical approach not only boosts fathers’ confidence but also fosters a sense of connection and involvement in their child’s care from the very beginning.
Moreover, New Dads Boot Camps facilitate open and honest discussions about the emotional and psychological aspects of fatherhood. Fathers explore their own expectations, fears, and uncertainties in a supportive environment, gaining valuable insights into their roles as partners and caregivers. By addressing these concerns head-on, dads can strengthen their relationships with their partners and approach parenthood with greater resilience and empathy.
Conclusion:
Pregnancy and childbirth are transformative experiences that require active participation from both parents. New Dads Boot Camps offer a unique opportunity for expectant fathers to gain knowledge, skills, and confidence in preparation for the journey ahead. By providing practical guidance, emotional support, and a sense of camaraderie, these workshops empower fathers to be strong, supportive partners and caregivers from the moment their little one arrives. As we continue to embrace a more inclusive and collaborative approach to parenting, initiatives like New Dads Boot Camps play a vital role in nurturing healthy, happy families.
