Boot Camp for New Dads in Spanish

The Spanish version of Boot Camp for New Dads receives the same support as Boot Camp for New Dads and was acculturated and translated for Latino fathers. The traditional values of extended family are addressed by references to the grandparents, uncles and padrinos (godfathers) and by meeting in the “circulo” format.

Unique Challenges and Strengths
Often having left the country where they were fathered, Spanish speaking new fathers are learning about a new culture and trying to parent in a country that does not hold as dear the values that they grew up with. Traditional “machismo” may steer the new father away from the child and continue a cycle of separation. A positive view of machismo recognizes the strength of the relationship of father to his children. To create a healthy family, the Spanish Boot Camp offers understanding, knowledge and trust of the traditional community and extended kinship and the support these give to the new father.

No More Language Barrier
This curriculum is unique in its friendliness to the ears and hearts of new Latino fathers. Not only is the program designed to appeal specifically to men and new fathers, but also the curriculum uses Spanish language in a way that gives support to the new dad. Directed to the Spanish speaker, the curriculum instructs the participant without the annoying distractions of “pochismos”, English words said with a Spanish accent such as “marketa” for market or “brecas” for breaks. There is no need to explain English terms unknown to the common Spanish listening ear.
