Fathers' Day

There are many resources available these days for us as parents. Every family is different, and each family’s challenges are their specific ones. One of my favourite helpful mini resource is the above booklet, issued by The Fathering Project a few years ago. The tips for Fathers and Father-figures are still very relevant. I have several copies available if any of you are interested. Please email me on the address below. I will send a copy home with your child or you can collect one from me. 

 

I had an enjoyable time with my children and grandchildren on Fathers’ Day – very special. Here are a few funny puns to celebrate Dads.

The Imperfects Podcasts:

Teaming up with one of Australia’s most successful comedians, Ryan Shelton, and his very talented brother Josh, Hugh van Cuylenburg [from The Resilience Project] has put together a podcast which is all about how perfectly imperfect we all are. Constantly comparing ourselves to others can not only be exhausting, but extremely harmful. However, when we share our struggles, we start to realise that everyone, no matter how successful, has something they are battling with. In this podcast, Hugh, Josh and Ryan chat to a variety of interesting people who bravely share their struggles and imperfections, and we all learn some valuable take-aways we can apply to our own imperfect lives.
