Quotes

  • "Believe it or not, when boys are playing in their games, whether it's basketball, baseball, football, whatever it is, when they look in the stands, they don't care to see all those people in the stands. They want to see their family. And when they don't see their family, that impacts them." - Bryan Ward

  • "It takes time and attention, just a conversation to help someone get clear about their goals." - Bryan Ward

  • “It's really critical, especially when it comes to boys, for men to be that role model for those kids.” - Bryan Ward

  • "And that's why you see boys struggle with behavior in the classroom, not because they want to be poorly behaved, but because it just goes against every fiber of their being to sit in a chair quietly" - Andrea Ward

  • “I've seen it change and evolve for the better over the last, you know, 20 years where dads are becoming more and more involved.” - Andrea Ward

  • “Dads can be equally as nurturing and their input is equally as valuable, if not more. It just develops a whole different type of bond when that dad is involved in the education of their children.” - Andrea Ward
