I reflect on my own\nDad as well as my past parenting. I gained great insight and I hope you will\ntoo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>100 Dads are a collection of a diverse group\nin terms of age groups, cultural backgrounds, socio-economic statuses, occupations,\nreligions, sexual orientations, abilities, family structures and outcomes. Parents\nrange in age from 19 to 95, with a wide cross cultural representation including\nindividuals with Afro-centric, Asian, Indigenous and Arabian heritage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dads\ncontribute advice on how they managed all stages of parenting, from prenatal\ncare to an empty nest. These parents have tackled sleep deprivation, toilet training,\nschool years, court systems, disabilities, drugs, deep pride and\ndisappointment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\nshare their celebrations, regrets, successes and the wisdom that comes with\nexperience. Parents embraced the vulnerability of sharing so \u201c<em>the village<\/em>\u201d would be available to\neveryone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please join\nmy Facebook page (<em>200 Parents 2000 Tips<\/em>),\nalso found on Instagram and Twitter.
