I loved this conversation with Rashi. It's something quite wonderful when someone is able to ask you the right questions to express yourself confidently. Subscribe to her Blog Decks and Diapers.

This has been a labour of love. I would appreciate you buying this and most importantly giving me a review to help get the Amazon algorithm gods on side. If you buy the book there's a free 21 day challenge workbook to download. Happy Father's Day #Happyfathersday #dads #fatherhood #parenting

Tonight marks the second session of #TheTrevarthenSeries. It is so interesting bringing together these insightful researchers on infant experience. Tonight is Maya Gratier from Paris, exploring the richness in singing between parents & babies. @garethwall.bsky.social @sarahockwellsmith.bsky.social

This will be fantastic. Check it out.

I'm really excited to be sharing Mark Williams BCAh FRSA Dear Dad letter over on Substack. Thanks Mark. Dear Dad is a series of letters written to Dads and by Dads. What advice would you have given to yourself prior to Fatherhood? beasuperdad.substack.com/p/dear-dad-m...

What advice would you give to your younger self before becoming a dad? I'm really proud to increase the voices of dads and start this series of letters by Dads to their younger selves. Check out Chris's brilliant reflective advice in the piece below. open.substack.com/pub/beasuper...

There has been lots of attentn paid within the media to the actions of Elon Musk's 4-yr-old son at a press conference held this week in the Oval Office. The child's forceful statements have sparked entertainmnt. I want to call attentn to his emotional state. THREAD www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sa1m...

Great to see Dad Shift here. I'm a big fan of their campaign and what they are doing for Dads and Paternity leave They need our help to get a few more followers though. Please give this a share. @dadshiftuk.bsky.social

Not an academic but one of the most infuriating things is finding something that's relevant to your work, grabs your attention, can help people and improve your practice but you have to go around the houses to read it.

More than 70% of UK women say they’ve experienced sexual harassment in public spaces & over 95% of women aren’t reporting it because they don’t believe it will change anything. 📊 Learn more about Right to Move, a campaign to help women feel safer in public spaces. ⬇️ www.bigissue.com/opinion/un-w...

This #InternationalMensDay, we've launched our new article to help professionals recognise mental health challenges in fathers, engage and empower them, and start supportive conversations with practical tips:

@fathersnetwork.bsky.social welcome aboard 😁

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up. If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

Just love Dan's work. Such a positive account to follow.

Why does snow bring out the inner child?

This International Men’s Day I'm thinking about the great group of dads that I continue to hang out with this week as I get to deliver Circle of Security. Such a brilliant group who by the end of this programme will have spent 18 weeks aiming to be the best dad they can be. #internationalmensday

Bit of a wet day today in Forest Schools but the 'Tache is coming on nicely #movember

So my clever followers, if you were to create a session or program for dads to support their partners with Post Natal Depression what would you include? Currently thinking of a proposal to PIMHS to give Dads a way where they can feel useful and focused. Do you know of any examples or research?

It's on it's way

So a few of us in work met up for a Movember walk with International Mens Day around the corner. We talked about how we can build on this and create spaces for Men to talk. This is just the start.

A stick on moustache would be a great option. Movember hits different in my son's birthday photos.

Well we also have an 11yr old this morning. Sleepover went well and pancake time is coming up.

These starter packs are great. Managed to find some some x'ers here and some new people to follow. Looking forward to exploring some new thinking.

A brilliant meeting this afternoon. We talked about creating Father Inclusive Practice within our Early Years Team. So many threads connect this. More conversations to come with Midwifery, Health Visiting, Radiography etc. #fatherhood.

Dads want to be involved and have a wider impact. Over 50% of the Dads in attendance last night signed up for a focus group for research students. They were offered a platform to talk about how they experience professionals as a father and they grasped it with both hands. Dads need to be involved.

Birthday Eve in our house and one very excited boy was up and ready for school in record time. Apparently, daily birthdays are the secret to smooth mornings—anyone know where we can sign up for that subscription?

It's not everyday you get to meet a former Welsh international in Danny Gabbidon at our Finale of For Dads By Dads. Nice to find out he's a Liverpool fan too. He spent such a lot of time chatting to the Dads.

It's the end of the 10 weeks of our For Dads By Dads Programme tonight so I'm creating 30 of these to hand out at our finale. Thursday really is the best part of my week.

I think Milo needs his eyes trimmed #dogsky

Honestly, you realise how old you are on Blue sky when you have to add your age. Just change it so you don't have to scroll so far back and get thumb ache.
