07.01.2022 Monday is a great time to reflect on the weekend past and what lies ahead this week. Bruce Robinson provides a great insight into one of the founding principles of The Fathering Project, BUS - Being There, Unconditional love & Special. Check out Bruces Monday tip here :... https://thefatheringproject.org/fath/bruce-talks-about-bus/ I personally had a fun filled weekend (even with the poor weather ) by BEING THERE for my children Ava-Lily & Aspen whether it be sharing a coffee and marshmallow at The Dome or playing board games on a wet Sunday afternoon. Showing and providing them both with UNCONDITIONAL LOVE throughout. By having some one on one time with Aspen & Ava-Lily, we laughed and had so much fun, their own little quirks and gestures making them unique and SPECIAL . Reflecting on how much fun we had has given me some great ideas on what we can do this week to continue with the fun and laughter The Mindarie Dads Group would love to hear from more Dads and families of how their weekend was, what the plans are for the week ahead and how they apply the BUS principles with their children Have a great week guys
