Nowadays, being a father is harder than ever!

In the past, parents could turn to extended families for support - and parenting seemed a lot less complicated.

Being a father used to mean earning money to support the family; being the provider and the protector, but now...?

What does being a father mean to you, in todays world?

Kids don't come with a manual, parenting is one of the toughest challenges that many of us face, and the assumption that we will simply be good at it is incorrect.

When, in 1995, I found myself being a single Dad with a somewhat unfettered little 5yr old to raise - I really wasn't sure how to go about it. With the help and support I received from attending parenting workshops, having a coach there for me, and subsequent training I've received - I have become a father that I'm proud to be.

The good news: What makes an effective father can be learned.

You can:

• Become a more confident and effective parent
• Create a more connected relationship with your children
• Become the Dad you want to be
