“Helping kids deal with embarrassing fathers since 1975″

There’s a nine-year-old boy (We’ll call him Paul) swimming in the pool. His dad is with him hovering like a hungry salesman on commission. Paul tries to swim toward the other kids but dad can’t be shaken. The boy is offered a high five for everything he does…jumping in…getting wet…going three feet under water…splashing his dad in the face. All earn a “Way to go Champ!” look and an upraised palm.

The lifeguard smiles and shakes his head. Anyone looking hard enough can tell Paul would rather play with the other kids but dad is too eager to notice. With each high five, the look of consternation grows a little darker.

Paul’s thinks, “How many high fives would I have to give if I ever accomplish anything noteworthy!? There’d be no end! Better slack off my entire life, at least until my dad dies.”

And so a goober dad embarrasses another child into submission.

We cannot let this happen again. Give Paul a DAGAR!

There’s a fourteen-year-old boy (We’ll call him Saul). His father wants to bond so badly that he drags Saul into all kinds of father / son activities. Many of these activities the well-intentioned father has no idea how to participate in. The problem? Saul’s dad doesn’t know how to do anything!

Saul and his dad show up at the neighborhood basketball court. Saul’s dad needs to stare at the ball in order to dribble. To the boy’s dismay, his dad has to time each step to each dribble. BOUNCE – STEP – BOUNCE – STEP – (All the time staring at the ball) BOUNCE-STEP-BOUNCE- STEP (Clumsy shot that misses the backboard.)

Saul says to himself, “I’ll never set foot on a playground again.”

We cannot let this happen again. Give Saul a DAGAR!

Raul’s dad has severely bucked teeth and the boy fears he will as well. Raul looks into the mirror and sees someone who’ll never get attention from the girls.

DAGAR’s quick action plan gets involved with these troubled kids with positive messages like, “Hey kid, if you dad found a way to procreate then there’s a good chance for you too!”
