Tips for Dad Dates from Dr Bruce Robinson

Taking your kids out individually for one-on-one time with dad is important.

Watch this video from Bruce as he talks more about Dad Dates and how you and your child can get the most from them.

At The Fathering Project we refer to these outings as Dad Dates. These moments help your child feel worthwhile and special, as you dedicate time from your busy schedule – just for them.

Use this time together to focus solely on your child – practise listening and encourage them.
