The “Doctor Dad” program is an infant and toddler health and safety workshop that is specifically designed for fathers with young children. As more and more dads are taking care of the daily needs of their infants and toddlers, “Doctor Dad” enables men to handle the majority of medical situations that may arise as their children grow.
Some of the topics covered at “Doctor Dad” include:
· The Well Child – covers information on temperament, crying, nutrition, and immunizations
· The Sick Child – covers information on taking a temperature, treating fever and the common cold, and preventing dehydration
· The Injured Child – covers information on preventing and treating burns/sunburns, drowning, cuts/scrapes, head injuries, poisoning, and choking
· The Safe Child – covers information on safety inside and outside the home, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), gun safety, and anger management
