Everything all at once – when life and emotions happen all at the same time – can strike at the most inopportune of times. The tragedy of fatherlessness can feel like everything all at once, too. But Dads4Kids has a plan, a 'daddy cuddle' for Australia.

When you begin your fatherhood journey, you know the world is forever different. Three critical truths – and implementing them – will pay off for the years to come.

Our family of origin makes leaving and cleaving complicated! When we marry, we each bring an inherited mental picture of what a spouse ‘should’ be. That makes things interesting...

There is no telling how many men's lives Men's Health Week has saved since 2002. And now, a glimmer of federal government hope – but you must use your voice!

Dads4Kids and the Men’s Leadership Summit are deeply committed to helping all men stand for the better way, the masculine way. As the great Billy Graham said, “Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.”

We want our children to become responsible, self-disciplined adults who are able to delay gratification in favour of better benefits later on. That means teaching them to say 'No' now.

Stories are even more important to children, especially when seen with Dad. There are some good family-friendly movies out at the moment. Let me give you my top three choices.

“The Family Court system is in enormous trouble.” That’s a momentous statement given that the speaker, Adelaide barrister Stuart Lindsay, is a former Family Court judge. But there’s much more… This experienced insider blames the parlous state of this vital institution on a campaign led by the Labor Party.

Fatherhood, far from being “toxic”, is an incredible protective factor that majorly reduces a whole variety of risks for children.
