Understanding our experiences of fatherhood

Parenting changes with every generation. What worked for one father might not work for another, and each dad brings his own unique touch to raising his kids.

Watching your child face disappointment – whether it is repeating a grade, not making a sports team, or being excluded from university due to finances – is one of the hardest things for a father. 

As we approach International Children's Day, it's a time to celebrate not just the joy and wonder that children bring into our lives, but also the invaluable wisdom they impart.

Fathers Matter Ambassadors in George recently partnered with police and traffic officials at a local roadblock where the message of Fathers Matter was shared.

The sporting world is all about performance but by equipping coaches with the Fathers Matter resources and inspiring them to embrace their role as mentors and father figures.

“We want players to be good sportspeople on the field and good fathers and role models off it.” – Bruce Nadin, Stellenbosch FC Chaplain
