Your role should not be your child’s teacher. Instead, you should be a 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 - someone who believes in them so that they will be able to believe in themselves.
In last week's episode, Centre for Fathering family coach Parcsen Loke shared with us the role of fathers in children’s education.

Together with Ms Sun Xueling, Minister of State in the Ministry of Social and Family Development and Ministry of Home Affairs, we had our first run of the WiseJourneys programme.
During the session, parents learnt how everyday interactions with their children have a big impact on their long-term development as well as tips on managing stress and regulating emotions, to respond better to their children’s needs.
If you are parents to children aged 0 - 36 months, join us on this learning journey today! To sign up, visit

Max Dupree, the author of Leadership is an Art said, “The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality.”
Thus the first step in building a good relationship with your children is to acknowledge that we are different. So love your children you have and not the ones you hope they will be.

Dads, when you found out you were going to be a father, we are pretty sure you’ve got a picture in your mind of how your children will be similar to you. Unfortunately, most of the times it’s the opposite.
So what do you do if your child is polar opposite? How do you connect with them?
Here are some tips.

Dads, never underestimate your role in your child’s development. Numerous studies have shown the positive impact it has on your child’s well being and growth, amongst which are advanced language development, higher cognitive scores and improved sociability, confidence levels and self-control.
So, to highlight the significance of a father's role, here is a quotation.

In today’s digitally connected society, parents are not only responsible for controlling their own mobile device usage but also that of their children. Therefore, it's important to manage them such that they enhance family time and not cause a disconnect.
Here are some tips to help.

Since the 2000s, technology use has grown significantly, posing new challenges for families and parents.
And while we work to limit our kids' screen time, we should also assess our own behaviour to see if we are setting an example for them.
Here is a statistic to ponder.

Technology has changed our lives, including family time.
Although technology has many advantages, such as the ability to capture precious moments in photos and videos, parents should guard the opportunities to bond as a family.
Consider this quote for reflection.

Back to School with Dad is an initiative organised by the Centre for Fathering, DADs for Life and MUMs for Life, in partnership with Families for Life and in support of Made for Families and Celebrating SG Families, which aims to encourage fathers to accompany their children to school on the first two days of a new school year, so as to reassure their children of their interest and involvement in their academic journey.
Back to School with Dad cards have also been designed for fathers and mothers to write a note of affirmation and encouragement, which they can send to their children’s mobile phone or place the printed cards in their lunchboxes or school bags, so that their children can be pleasantly surprised during recess.

Dads, make a difference this year, by surprising your child with a hand-written note from you to encourage and affirm them when they return to school.
And for the first time, we have prepared a Back to School toolkit for you to mark an exciting milestone in your child’s life journey.

As our kids gear up for the new school year, take the opportunity to remind them that eating well and exercising regularly are indispensable for growing up strong and keeping minds sharp for the best learning outcomes.
