The Real Dads Network™ is a non-profit organization committed to improving fathers’ relationship with their children, regardless of their marital status. We do this through providing resources for fathers to improve their fathering skills, by raising the expectation that fathers can and should stay connected with their children, and by advocating against media and institutional portrayal of negative fatherhood stereotypes. As a network, we seek to partner with other organizations with appropriate resources, to bring about maximum effectiveness in keeping families together.

The Real Dads Network™ has embraced a partnership with the 99 Book Series, which has a unique ability to provide direction and strategies that support positive fatherhood behaviors. The book “99 Things Every Father Wished They Knew Before Burning Down The Kitchen” offers fathers everywhere an easy and workable “recipe” for bonding with their children – through shared meal time experiences. RDN believes that this book will quickly become a valuable resource for fathers to create quality time with their children around the preparation of meals and conversation over meals. The book’s format of 1-page recipes and associated fatherhood lessons will meet the needs of fathers on the go as well as those with limited cooking skills. The universal routine of daily meals now becomes a natural opportunity for bringing fathers and children together. The book has tremendous potential for strengthening father-child relationships through an easy to follow and easy to understand format. Future titles offer additional ways to support fathers and their connection to their children.
