The Fathering Project

It's the little things dads and father figures can do on a daily basis that make a big difference to the lives of children, now, and into the future. Being there, telling them you love them, and actively listening are a few 'little things' that go a long way.

Top Tips

1. Practise active listening.Really listen to your child, hear their thoughts and opinions and ask open-ended questions in return. ​​​​​

2. Talk about values. What are your core values? Talk about these with your child and role model them too. 

3. Be involved in your child's education. Read with them, help with their homework and stimulate their curiosity from a young age.
