ABOUT RAD DADS
RAD DADS is a digital and community-based platform dedicated to enriching the fatherhood experience from pregnancy through the early years. Where neuroscience meets fatherhood, we promote active involvement in parenting by supporting both dads and children's emotional and cognitive growth through relational adventure. Every risk taken together strengthens the bond that lasts a lifetime. We foster meaningful community connections through local meetups and our digital hub, empowering fathers to build brave kids while developing deeper, lasting relationships..
WHY ?
RAD DADS is grounded in attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, and the Circle of Security framework, recognizing that fathers play a critical role as co-regulators and secure bases who support children's brain development and emotional resilience through attuned, adventurous play and relational risk-taking.
Relational - Connection is the Foundation
Every adventure is an opportunity to deepen the father-child bond through presence, attunement, and co-regulation
Activation - Opening Kids to the World
Fathers uniquely stimulate risk-taking, exploration, and confidence through challenging play and adventure.
Developmental - Brain-Building Adventures
Every climb, jump, and challenge literally shapes children's developing brains, building resilience that lasts a lifetime.
ND dads
RAD Dads / Active Dads ND is a neurodiversity-affirming, dad-led playgroup for fathers and their neurodivergent children (ages 2-6) that focuses on active outdoor play, nature exploration, and building connections through activities like obstacle courses, bush play, and sensory adventures—creating a supportive community where ND kids can thrive without the pressure of traditional playgroups.
