Parent Newsletter Articles

I think our dads' participation has risen at least 25%, since our program adopted your newsletter!!!"

"I just wanted to let you know that I read the September issue of The Down to Earth Dad. This is a very good newsletter, critical for fathers. It’s a very easy read and I think helpful. Thanks for sharing!!"

"Just received your latest newsletter. Another nice job!"

"I just finished reviewing this month's issue of The Down To Earth Dad, and I just wanted to take a minute to tell you how much I really appreciate reading this newsletter. I am a dad of 4 and I find a lot of value in reading the newsletter. I appreciate your work in trying to bring Dads and kids closer together. Thanks for what you're doing!"

"We love it!!!!! We will be having a Federal Review soon. We don't know the date yet, but I'm sure this will help in our Father Involvement area…. I think our Dads participation has risen at least 25% since our program adopted your newsletter!!! Although our dads have always participated, now it is so very evident! Your newsletter has made the difference. Last year our dads logged over 425 volunteer hours for the year-end. I am very proud of them. Thank you!”

"It's such a good, good newsletter. There's not a lot of stuff out there specifically for dads. Everything that's out there for parents is usually addressed to, and read by, females. This shines some light on the dads."

“It's an outstanding newsletter. You are doing a fantastic job with the The Down To Earth Dad and I just wish more and more agencies would become a part of your work. You are doing a service not only for the community, but for the world.”

"I've read many brochures and newsletters for dads and really found yours to be the best choice."

"Let me start off by congratulating you on a great newsletter. As a male Head Start teacher, I found that the material included in your newsletter was relevant and extremely useful to both educators and parents alike."

"We receive your monthly newsletter, The Down To Earth Dad, and applaud the work that you are doing promoting involved and positive parenting. I especially liked your article about uncles and the positive effects that men can have in the lives of children whose fathers are not present."

"I would like to thank u for sending me these letters. That letter picks me up when I don't have my daughter and u help me look at the bigger picture when I am down, and being adad I know that there are other guys that go through the same stuff I go through and I thank u for that smile. Have a good day."

“I want to send you this message and tell you how much I enjoy The Down to Earth Dad newsletter. I have been a subscriber since our son Scott was about four months old. We just celebrated his 2nd birthday. Keep up the good work.”

“Just finished reading the September Issue of Down to Earth Dad and wanted to let you know I really liked it. The article about storytelling really hit home to me (The Story That Must Be Told. When I was a kid, my mom used to tell about how her dad would butcher a pig each winter and how everyone had to help and how much work it was, etc. etc. Well, I passed this story on to my kids….. Well, we now butcher a pig every winter. The kids have fun, it's still hard work, it's not cost effective, but it's a time when we work together and all learn a thing or two. ...Keep up the good work.”

"Thank you for all your hard work. We REALLY do love your newsletter and look forward to it each month."

I recently read the April issue of The Down to Earth Dad and was very impressed. My son has 6 children and lives in Chubbuck. I think having this newsletter to read would remind him how precious his role as 'Dad' is. He's awesome on his own. I just think this would be 'icing on the cake."

“I think the newsletter is great. I think it's fabulous. I like the articles in it. It helps in parenting skills, for sure. I think all men should receive this. Anyone who is interested in positive goals as a parent should get this newsletter. This is cool for dads. My child's father needs to read it.”

“I would especially recommend this newsletter to young, inexperienced dads who are new to parenting.”

"Excellent. Well written. Informative. I would definitely recommend that all dads read your newsletter. Most dads do not have the necessary tools and information required to do the job well. Love is not enough."
