Suggested Activity for Teenage Fathers

Parenting is a very big responsibility and mixing that with being a teenager, well, its pretty hard to adjust... based from experience.

Teenage life on its own can be confusing. We are faced with different challenges everyday and the inner battle to stay away from vices. Trying to fit in with our clicks is always associated to a form of stress. Now, add being a parent and things can get complicated.

Teenage parents, teenage fathers to be specific, have a huge responsibility being there for their child. They have mixed emotions, they want to be there for their child but at the same time, they themselves are still children who still want to act irresponsibly.

As our group deliberated about this topic, we have come to a decision. In the case of teenage fathers, wherein the father has a good relationship with the mother and is willing to become responsible, we suggest a monthly weekend retreat with their child. During this process, they will be doing activities with their children, specifically building a relationship with their child and helping them realize that this life transition can become a positive from a possibly negative situation.
