THIS ONE’S FOR OUR DADS

About 10 years ago I read a very small book written by Dr Bruce Robinson about fathering , which was some practical strategies on making connections with your children. It had a really big impact on my parenting and everything they say about time flying is true. My boys are 17 and 18 and the days of taking them to sport, building lego and generally spending time with them is diminishing. All they seem to do is eat anything in the fridge, and smell.

My tip is get involved as much as you can as it is a fantastic time spending time with your children and also meeting good people.

The Mount Hawthorn P&C are proud to host a presenter from the Fathering Project to come and work with father figures here in Mount Hawthorn. A father’s impact on a child’s life is profound and this workshop is to help inspire and equip fathers and father figures to engage with their kids. It has been really successful in many schools and is a great opportunity to spend time with your kids and other dads in the school community.

Date: Thursday, 8 June.
Time: 7.00pm
Venue: School Library

As we are sparing no expense and catering (pies) for the event we require numbers. If you are keen you can register your interest https://www.trybooking.com/QJXS
