Reflection and Awareness
This activity can be used in group sessions with fathers and in training sessions with staff to facilitate reflection on previous life experiences and encourage identification of ways these experiences have affected personal attitudes toward parenting, relationships, and marriage. Adapted by Nigel Vann from an activity developed by Pamela Wilson for the National Partnership for Community Leadership in 2000.
