The most crucial elements in drag racing are achieving a fast and consistent launch, maximising traction, and maintaining a smooth, straight-line run to the finish line. The same can be said of fathering.
Fatherhood might feel all-consuming, and in many ways, it is. But here are three reasons you can take great heart in your fathering and stay the course.
As I think about my own children, I’m concerned about the world they will inherit. Generation Alpha (those born from 2010-2024) kids are stepping into a world of slower economic progress, higher inflation, mountains of inherited debt, and many uncertainties besides.
Andrew Gray and his producer Glaucco Tomaz are doing excellent work, creating content to empower men and usher in a renaissance of healthy masculinity. I picked up a few great dad tips from him, and I hope you do, too!
One of the key ways fathers shape their children is through play. Studies show that dads spend a larger percentage of their parenting time engaged in play, often favouring more physically active, rough-and-tumble interactions, like me with Elsa at the beach.
There’s no better sound in the world than my daughter’s rapid-fire giggle. And as it turns out, the laughter she experiences during these crucial chapters of her childhood comes with benefits that will leave a lasting imprint.
If you had told the 18-year-old version of my dad that someday he’d think babies were more interesting than football, he would have laughed his head off. But the truth is, as life pushes on, we don’t just abandon our dreams; our dreams change.
Not only is love a multipliable resource — it is a multiplying force. Such is the beautiful arithmetic of parenthood. Expanding your family expands your heart.
Australia’s politicians are frightened of the very monster they created in family law, the literally hundreds of taxpayer-funded women’s legal services, advocacy groups, refuges, and an armada of feminist academics and activist judges.
This article by Christian Jurinka, "Driving With Dad", brought back some happy memories. Like Christian's, my dad let me steer the car while seated next to him. I was only 12 years of age. I felt so proud. In some ways, it was the rite of passage ceremony I never had, but desperately needed.
