🙈 Hide & Seek 👀 - ‘Dads, be easy to find.’ Have a listen to his 3 min poem. “Silence is my first language, and lonely is an accent that I still can't get rid of.” "But here I still am, trying to be a father to my daughter and myself." - Rudy Francisco

As we approach #ANZAC Day, I’m curious to learn about any father/son stories from the battlefield involving Australian Armed Servicemen in World War I particularly at Anzac Cove on the 25th April 1915. Links or notes welcome in the comments below. 👇

Representing #TheFatheringProject at the Camden Rotary Mental Health and Wellbeing Expo. Great opportunity to promote the work we do in the community and to meet other service providers and families of Camden, Campbelltown, Narellan and Macarthur districts. @thefatheringpro

The Fathering Project is apolitical. I’m retweeting this simply to highlight that the love and support of a father should go on beyond the years of childhood. @jihaddibmp has benefited from a stable and supportive father in his life. We want all children to have great fathers.
This guy has always been by my side and today, like every election time, he wanted to be the first to cast his vote. Luv ya dad ❤️ #nswpol

Research shows that father involvement in a child's education is linked to better academic performance, higher levels of self-esteem, and improved behavior in school. By implementing a program that encourages father involvement, schools can positively impact student outcomes #TFP

An interesting education spend, would be pay teachers who have left in the last 5 years a couple of hundred dollars to do a survey/ focus group on reasons for leaving. If we want to change things to retain teachers, we should ask them why, and look to address these things.

My family’s dinning room table is a place for us to gather each evening and share about our day. Tonight I’m using it to gather resources to share with school leaders at @Connection_SVA’s Thought Leader Gathering on Growing powerful partnerships for engagement and purpose.

@TFP_JohnK You are many things John - but you're not a statistic. Thank you for sharing your journey and I'm so sorry that education has lost someone like you... we need all the good teachers we can get. Take care, and thank you!
