By Elizabeth Hobson: Parenthood is often the most significant journey a human being makes. There is no right way to father – it’s a role that must be undertaken instinctively and responsively, responding to circumstances and to the individuality of yourself, your child and your family. Current circumstances, under the wrath of the Covid-19 pandemic, can make finding a favourable approach even more challenging.
Men often excel at pushing their children’s boundaries – so they go higher, speak more fluently, play an instrument more expertly or game like a pro (for example)! Children are intuitive and when you have belief in their abilities, their confidence tends to increase, and with it their competence. With schools closed, throwing yourself into the responsibility homeschooling is a great opportunity to help your children, to bond – and to distract your household from the tumultuous situation that we all find ourselves in.
