As I look back on 75 years of life, I reflect on what has influenced me; what has shaped my life.

It should be no secret that boys and men across the world are struggling. These sobering statistics don’t just affect boys and men; they negatively impact whole communities.

Your kids won't remember every word you said or every lesson you taught. But they'll remember how your face looked when they walked into the room. When you declare your delight, when you let wonder show on your face, you're shaping how your children see themselves and how they'll love their own families someday.

Gang members won't bother you if you know their mum. This Mother's Day, here's why dads should go beyond flowers — and mean it.

Dads have an important role to play in helping to build emotional resilience and reinforcing positive mindsets. By celebrating our children’s achievements — whether big milestones or small daily wins — we help foster their self-confidence.

How subtle, calculated interference within child protection systems undermines families, erodes trust, and strips parents of their rights — and what must change.

When your kids push your buttons, Dad, how do you respond? It starts with that inner attitude of respect, Dad. When they're at their worst, that's your moment to be at your best.

As fathers, we need to face the facts, recognise the dangers, and do our best to navigate the modern world as best we can. Not only for our own wellbeing, but also for our families to thrive.

When a society removes children from their parents, it must confront a question that goes beyond policy, beyond procedure, beyond bureaucratic justification: What kind of country are we becoming if we allow hope itself to be taken from those who have already lost the most?
