The Fathering Project News

Your child looks to you for guidance - not just in what you say, but in how you handle life’s challenges. Fathers play a key role in building resilience and confidence in their children by modelling how to navigate difficulties with strength and perseverance.

Show Resilience in Everyday Moments

When your child sees you staying calm under pressure, solving problems, and bouncing back from setbacks, they learn how to do the same.

💭 Try this: Next time you face a challenge, talk to your child about how you’re handling it. Show them that setbacks are part of life and that perseverance is key to overcoming them.

By leading with resilience, you help your child develop the confidence to take on life’s ups and downs.

We are still looking for fathers or father figures interested in helping to get a Dad’s group up and running here at Scoresby PS. If you are interested in helping to start up this group, please contact nicole.rheumer@education.vic.gov.au
