The Importance of Dads

Are any dads watching?

The asymmetry of parenthood

Dads are doing more, but we have a way to go

Stereotypes get in the way

Dads get criticised and bypassed!

Stale male roles

Why do Dads hold back?

We are scared.
We don’t feel equipped
We even wonder if we should even be involved

But if men step back

Everyone loses!
Dad’s do add something extra to the mix
What can Dads bring

Dads are the link to wider world

Adventure, risk and fun

Role models for boys

Respect for themselves and women
