Please note:
This workshop series is now fully booked. If you are interested in future sessions, please join the wait list.

A strengths-based series of four workshops that focus on connecting with other local dads and dives deep into your role as a dad or male carer.

For dads, grandfathers, step-dads and male carers with children aged 0 to 8 years.

Join Tony from Building Better Brains to share ideas and get hands on with tools and techniques that make you feel more connected to your children and other dads.

This series of workshops will explore:

Communication, patience and play: Sharing ways to communicate, regulate and play with children and family members that suits your dad skills best.
Fatherhood and all the feels: Supporting the emotional ups and downs of your children.
Understanding the developing brains of children: Tips and techniques to support your child.
Parenting styles and attachment: Understanding our Fatherhood Origin Story and how to build more robust connections with children and family members.
The power of play: The present of being present, the only gift that matters. Tools to maximise the thing we often have so little of as dads, time.

Please note that these sessions are designed for adults and are not suitable for children to attend.

A social event for children to attend with their dads/male carers will be planned for the end of term 1. Details for this event will be discussed with the group.
