    The good news is you don’t need to break down on the Nullarbor Plain to enjoy an adventure or admire the heavens sitting by a campfire. If you’re near the South Coast of New South Wales, plan to join us at the upcoming Dads4Kids Fun Camp at Coolendel, 7-8 November 2025.

    22 September, 2025

    Gender activists have unleashed a Marxist-inspired campaign to redefine, reconfigure, and eventually destroy the family. Feminists launched a crusade to vilify men and fathers. In response, Charlie Kirk disparaged the anti-family effort in strong language.

  • downtime

    28 August, 2025

    When I was single, I had more downtime than I cared for. Now, as a father of two very young children, I treasure any time I have alone. It is only in such moments that I am able to step back, gain perspective, and think strategically about my life, my family, and our big-picture goals.

    15 August, 2025

    Danny Abdallah could have easily smashed the man who killed his children, as at one stage he was the Australian kickboxing champion. He recently met the man in the jail where he is serving his sentence to tell him personally of his forgiveness.

    One of the speakers at this year’s Dads4Kids Men’s Leadership Summit was Danny Abdallah — the Sydney father who lost three children to a drunk driver and went on to forgive the killer.

    As we work more with couples, and get more life experience under our own belt, we’re gaining better insight into why forgiveness is so elusive. Here are some of the reasons why people commonly resist forgiveness.

  • Dad Father Child

    5 August, 2025

    Whatever your story, your children don’t need you to be flawless. They need their father to be present. They need you to be aware of the story behind you, so you can write a better one in front of them.

    31 July, 2025

    For decades, conventional wisdom has said that marriage — widely recognised as the bedrock institution of society — is on the decline. But brand new research has challenged that assumption. If family is making a comeback, that is a huge victory for everyone.

    One insight I’ve gained through actual (as opposed to theoretical) parenting is that parents aren’t quite as responsible for their toddlers’ behaviour as I once assumed. A practical illustration will suffice: public meltdowns. Here are three things I can control when my toddler takes charge.

  • Totalitarian Marxist Future Aust

    24 June, 2025

    Despite our valiant efforts for Family Law reform, we came up against the Marxist machine: a wave of taxpayer-funded propaganda, male-bashing, and mission-bent bureaucracies. The government continues on its harmful, family-destroying ways.
