Its chief executive, Bryan Tan, has seen more hands-on papas participating in the non-profits’s fathering and father-child workshops. The centre is also behind DADs for Life, a national movement that organises initiatives such as Celebrating Fathers.

“I see more dads at the playgrounds and parks with their children today than when i was growing up. Many dads make the effort to accompany their children to school in the mornings,” Mr Tan says.

On how to better parent children: Be a role model for resilience: Be mindful not to pass your stress to your children, says Mr Bryan Tan, chief executive of the non-profit Centre for Fathering and DADs for Life movement. Communicate how you feel and “seize every teachable moment” to show them how to deal with setbacks. This helps kids learn resilience and perseverance.

Strengthen your marriage: A solid union makes children feel most secure, Mr Tan says. “The best gift a dad can give his children is to love their mother.”

“Therefore, we work with community partners to provide such relationships and at the same time provide support to these children,” said Dr Faishal.Yesterday, she participated in an online Children’s Day celebration organised by the Singapore Prison Service (SPS) and the Centre for Fathering (CFF).During the celebration held through the Zoom container, the offenders involved read a storybook to their children before doing some game activities together.

The fathers have also given surprises to their children in the form of cards that have been produced from inside the prison.CFF Head of Engagement, Mr Eruandee Prayitna, said it was important for the relationship between father and children to be maintained.“Studies show that (children who do not have a relationship with their father) do not grow up very well.“Studies also show that the absence of a father will leave a dangerous impact on a child. This is called fatherlessness.“The fact that these kids grew up out there without their father, to us this is a dangerous sign … so together with SPS, we try our best to establish that relationship,” he said, who is the father of three children.
