Ben Swett

Ben Swett, Founder & Executive Director of Early Engagement. After years in the corporate world, Ben’s life changed when he studied respect-based parenting before the birth of his daughter. What he learned changed his life. The question that emerged: “why isn’t it the norm for every new dad to learn this stuff?”

Over the past two decades he has dedicated his career to activating the latent power of fathers to raise healthier and more resilient kids. Early Engagement courses have been distilled from decades of RIE practice and instruction, collaboration with luminaries across early childhood development and public health, and the collective wisdom of a vibrant community of engaged fathers.
