Lexington Community Education Presents Dr. Kyle Pruett

Fathers have always parented differently than mothers. After more than two decades of highly acclaimed research at the Yale Child Study Center, and the practical application of private practice, Dr. Kyle D. Pruett knows and teaches why that difference is so important. Dr. Pruett’s book Fatherneed: Why Father Care is as Essential as Mother Care has become an essential how-to guide for women and men who wish to work toward engaged fathering. This evening Dr. Pruett will discuss what fathers can do to meet the emotional needs of their children and offer practical discussion and helpful tips for all fathers—including divorced fathers, fathers of adopted children, stepfathers, and fathers of special needs children—as well as mothers who want children who are meaningfully connected to their fathers.

Dr. Kyle Pruett is Clinical Professor of Child Psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine and holds a private practice in infant, child, and family psychiatry. A prominent author, international lecturer, media personality, and pioneering researcher, conducting the country’s only long-term study of the impact onchildren of primary caretaking fathers. He is the author of several award winning books and appears frequently in The New York Times, National Public Radio, Good Morning America, CBS News and The Today Show.
