πŸ’­ β€œI am confident my child will feel loved by me.”

Love isn’t always loud β€” it’s in the small, consistent moments that build trust.

This week’s FatherGOOD explores what it means to hold that belief.

What would be different this week if you could be fully present with your family, even just for a few more moments each day?

Would the mornings feel calmer?
Would the evenings feel lighter?
Would connection come a little easier?

Let us know in the comments below!

Hey! I think it varies massively, depending on circumstances. Also, practically, you might have some preferred places you'd like to work so you might be waiting for them to advertise a vacancy :)

Compassionate Parenting #3

πŸ‘‹ Thought for the week:
Compassion isn’t a trait you either have or don’t β€” it is a practice - and compassion can flow in situations. Sometimes we give it easily to others. Sometimes we can’t feel it in situations at all.

A lot of my work is about "creating the conditions". So, it felt nice to be able to actually practice what I preach.

❓ How do you like to create the conditions for yourself?

🌳I noticed the edgy fizz in my body turn to a spacious hum.
🌳 I walked back to my laptop and flipchart paper ready to rock and roll.

It can be hard feeling like things aren't flowing or linking up ⏬
