Resource Directories

Dictionary for Dads arose amid concerns of every day fathers who sought to
promote their knowledge, education ,experience and resources as it pertains
to becoming an excellent father. As an organization our goal is to assist
Dads in raising happy healthy children.

Our belief is that Dictionary for Dad's will provide resources and
information which will be fundamental in helping men make informed
decisions based on education, research and practical experience all
provided by Dictionary for Dad's. In doing so this will not only reinforce
the male role model in our society it will increase the social welfare of
children throughout the world.

We understand that parenting is often complex and confusing with many
variables including but not limited to nutrition, medical, psychological,
developmental, environmental, marital, social and academic. It is our aim
to provide every dad with education, information and resources for all
dilemmas when they occur.

Dictionary for Dads believes that the label of a "dad" is one which is
earned not one that is provided through the birth of a child.

DaddyPlace.com is a well established and active community of Dads. Probably the busiest site and biggest Dad community I've seen out there.

They have a wide range of resources and activities including polls & competitions. They also have some 'real life' events such as poker nights, etc.

Worth checking out!

An Australian baby directory - a comprehensive listing of Australian baby resources. They also have a forum, a baby name section and an articles section - although many of the articles seem related to advertisers products.

A little heavy on the advertising, but a good directory for Aussie parents!

"Cloth Diapers, Birth Videos and Natural Baby Products."

These guys seem to have a pretty good range of quality baby products. The focus is on natural organic products, which is never a bad option! They have some good videos - the "Being Dad" one is not bad... although the beer ads get to be a bit much! They even have a range of "Fathers to B" focused products.

Family Friendly directory is a human-edited, quality website directory for only family friendly websites.

"Whatever sort of Mum you are, you are a Real Mum. We're fun, funny and just a little bit naughty!"

Real mums is a fun Australian based site with a good links directory, and a good blog by Mad Cow. Definitely a site for Mums rather than Dads, but a good one to point your partner to.

Their shop has some great fun gift ideas for your child's Mum...

Dr MOZ is a very cool company with some very cool products for Dads, based in California. Great gifts, including the GoodFather range.

They have a good little resource directory and links to blogs and Dad groups along with a doula directory and other useful links.

A well designed and fun website, they are worth a visit even if you're not from the states!

A great resource for parents in NZ. Lots of links to resources, articles, midwife directory etc.

Definitely worth a visit, particularly for the links out to other NZ based resources.

Lots of good information, links, and an online store with some great gear in it. A U.S.-based site, but the information is all relevant elsewhere.

www.motherinc.com.au is Australia's first online magazine for a new generation of modern mothers. The website and magazine talks to 21st Century mums as both a woman and a parent!
