About ME

I am married to the most patient and thoughtful woman in the world who puts up with my many faults. A dad to 3 beautiful children, aged 8, 6 and 5 I hope to share my experiences of fatherhood to help others.  I have been a qualified classroom teacher for 18 years and teach children from reception through to secondary age as well as adult learners.  Having experienced every conceivable behaviour that you can possibly think of I have built up a vast array of strategies to support the most troubled and challenging of children. 

Besides spending time with my children and wife, also a qualified primary teacher and full time lecturer, I am a passionate musician and have been studying and teaching the piano for 37 years. 

More recently, mental health has become a subject very close to my heart and a topic that I strongly believe should be taught in schools to children of all ages.

I spend many hours writing engaging articles for dads on a wide variety of topics including; child birth; coping with becoming a first time dad; parenting advice on toddlers and teens and the best reviews of the products every dad needs.

I do this so that you don’t have to spend your precious time researching the vast array of conflicting parenting advice for dads on the web.
