Dads, researchers are proving what you've known all along...

In the child’s early years, most child education and development activities focus on Moms.
Dads are often overlooked. Research shows Dads have a unique and significant role to play in the early years to set kids up for success. Spritely Dads empowers Dads with knowledge and support to help their children thrive.

OK, guys, I’m interested, but what will I actually get in this membership?

You want to grow and learn, but you're a busy man. I get it.

Content will be released once a week, in bite-sized chunks, so that you’ll easily manage and incorporate it into your life. It will focus on a specific theme each month and include:

Masterclass (live or pre-recorded video training) focused on each theme
Expert interview – practical advice and training from relevant experts in the field
Happy hour in the Hub – a monthly group video call with all the members of the Spritely Dads community to share your wins, ask questions, and deepen the learning process.
Supporting curated resources (articles/podcasts/research) relevant to that month’s theme. I'll do the work of staying on top of new research and cut through the clutter, to deliver interesting and relevant content to you.

Content themes include, but are not limited to:

Fathers’ impact on early child development – specifically those areas of development considered important for school readiness
Early child development stages and building a deep connection with your child during each stage
Your identity as a Dad – self-discovery, exploring how the past is present
Personality preferences – it’s impact on your relationship with your partner and your child; the development of your child’s personality and how it impacts how they learn about the world
Relationships – how they enhance or inhibit your child’s success and how you can make the most of them
Designing your legacy – connecting parenting, people and purpose

The content is structured into modules, each building on the other. This provides…

A roadmap for your success in the Spritely Dads Membership
Emotional and tactical characteristics of each stage, so you’ll know when you’ve arrived at each stage
A reference point to know where you are in your progress and what you should do next by referring to the Spritely Dads Building Blocks guide

There are four different stages to guide your progress:

Stage 1: Informed Dad - Building your knowledge
Stage 2: Insightful Dad – Building your Self (identity) as a Parent
Stage 3: Involved Dad – Building Relationships
Stage 4: Intrepid Dad – Building Your Legacy

Is SPRITELY DADS for you?

DADS who join the Spritely Dads Membership are:

Curious about their child’s development and the ways in which they can enhance their development
Deliberate and intentional about designing their fatherhood journey to build and leave a legacy
Willing to invest time and money into their own development to best support their family
Willing to honestly share their success and struggles as a dad
Willing to do whatever it takes to build a deep connection with their child

This is not a good fit for you if you:

Prefer not to share your thoughts and experiences with other dads in the community
You're dead-set on parental roles and you’re not keen on adapting your parenting style
Self-development is not your thing

That's OK, we can still be friends :-)

Choose your path

You have two choices today

The DIY path:

You keep figuring things out on your own.

(It takes more time and a lot of hard work, but you can do it!)

The supported path:

You get training, guidance and support as you progress through your child's preschool years.

(If you have limited time, this route is more effective and more fun!)

I'm Celesté Meyburgh, co-founder of Spritely Dads, along with my (awesome!) husband, Kobus Meyburgh.

During office hours, I am a Registered Psychometrist and Counsellor. After hours, I play house (and LEGO and dinosaurs) with my two-year-old girl, Famke, and four-year-old boy, Milan. During the early morning hours, I am plotting world peace, with my ever-growing army of actively involved Dads.

Over the last four years, I've been researching and studying the important role that fathers play in early child development and school readiness. In 2018, I graduated cum laude with an M.A. in Psychology and received a Dean’s Merit Award for spending so many hours writing so many words. I was invited to present my paper at the 25th PSYSSA Congress in September 2019.

I believe Dads should know what the science says about your unique impact and I have made it my mission to share the fascinating research about Dads far and wide. My aim is to inspire Dads with insight to become Dads of impact all over the world. Because our children deserve to grow up with the best version of their Dads so they can become the best version of themselves for the generations to come.
