The struggle is real…
With so much conversation about mothers & newborns dads can often feel forgotten about, but their life gets turned upside down too! It’s not a topic as easily discussed and often can be hard to break the silence for Dads, as they manage to balance work and family.
Dads play a critical role in families, with life changing experiences which create their own set of challenges and rewards. Supporting the whole family benefits everyone in it and often the simple act of being around other dads has so much to offer:
-Building confidence – for new fathers in their role of caring for their baby.
-Strengthening the bond – spending time together with your child however old they are, dedicated activities & playtime are key.
-Sharing experiences – talking to other new dads is a vital resource to realise you’re not alone and how normal so many new feelings are.
We are here to support the whole family, dads are welcome in all our groups and we are proud to have so many groups led by Dads too. However we also run our Daddy Explorers groups on a monthly basis to offer a space for dads to meet other dads, bond with their little one and give mum a break. With bacon rolls, hot coffee & soft play, everyone’s a winner! Come & join us next time, find out more here!
