LEXINGTON COMMUNITY EDUCATION PRESENTS: Fatherneed: Why Father Care is as Essential as Mother Care

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 ofMedicine and holds a private practice in infant, child, and family psychiatry. A prominent author, international lecturer, media personality, and pioneering researcher, Dr. Pruett is an internationally known expert and forensic consultant on child, parental, and family development, and is the author of several award winning books.

This event will be held at Lexington High School in the Library Media Center. Pre-registration strongly recommended. To register, using a VISA or MasterCard, please contact Lexington Community Education at 781 862 8043.
