As a parent, it’s easy to get stuck in the role of managing our children, or enforcing rules, or generally corralling our kids in one way or another. But what about our relationship with them?

Matthew sits down with fellow dad, Jeff, as they delve into the heartfelt and complex journey of fatherhood. They discuss their personal challenges and growth, from managing patience and punctuality to navigating the evolving needs of their children throughout different stages of life. Together they reflect on four questions to help them define their relationships with their children. Listen to discover what they have learned from both their children and the Rad Dad Collective.

Highlights

• Maintaining relevance and support as children grow older.
• Insights on the division of parental responsibilities
• Fostering mutual respect and encouraging independence
• The importance of being present and connected to their lives into adulthood.
• The evolving role of fathers in providing emotional support.
