💭 “I am confident my child will feel loved by me.”

This week’s FatherGOOD explores the quiet power of example — how small acts of care shape how our children see the world.

🗣️ What’s something a child has said that’s stayed with you?

💭 “I am confident my child will feel loved by me.”

Love isn’t always loud — it’s in the small, consistent moments that build trust.

This week’s FatherGOOD explores what it means to hold that belief.

🗣️ What’s one thing you wish more people understood about fatherhood?

The balancing act.
The quiet care.
The pressure to get it right.

This week’s FatherGOOD explores the power of presence.

What would be different this week if you could be fully present with your family, even just for a few more moments each day?

Would the mornings feel calmer?
Would the evenings feel lighter?
Would connection come a little easier?

Let us know in the comments below!

🧘♂️ “Breathe, be here now.”

This week’s FatherGOOD is about slowing down & reconnecting with what really matters.

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do as a father… is simply be.

Compassionate Parenting #3

👋 Thought for the week:
Compassion isn’t a trait you either have or don’t — it is a practice - and compassion can flow in situations. Sometimes we give it easily to others. Sometimes we can’t feel it in situations at all.

I just got back from my first solo-retreat since becoming a father, 18 months ago. It was in Epping Forest, I was excited!

The balancing act between parent and profession is real, so it felt good to be able to take the time.

I had many grand plan but I felt tense...⏬

SUPER POWER ALERT 🪄

My surprised face when I discovered that my choice of glasses controls the season... Orange frames = immediate autumnal shift 🍂

Next time I promise I will choose something sparkly and clear, with sunny tones 🌴 ☀️
