About

Mothers are a key factor for getting fathers involved. When both parents can effectively co-parent together, their children benefit greatly.

We've developed the Mom As Gateway curriculum module to help you break down barriers between mothers and fathers and facilitate helpful discussions and efforts towards co-parenting.

This module addresses what is known as Maternal Gatekeeping - when a mother's beliefs about a father, as well as her behaviors, hinder a father's involvement. Studies show that mothers' perceptions greatly influence fathers' involvement.

Using this module, facilitators bring moms together for three sessions:

• The Role of the Gatekeeper
• Power and Control in Relationships Between Men & Women
• Minimize Excessive Gatekeeping

This module is a convenient add-on to the 24/7 Dad™ A.M. and P.M. curricula. Mothers meet while fathers are completing their 24/7 Dad™ classes and explore similar topics and issues. But, Mom As Gateway's universal principles and flexible format means it can be used with any fatherhood program!
