Testimonials from Term 1 Dads Chat participants:

• Honestly the entire course was great. The amount of knowledge and advice from Tony was amazing. I am already seeing improvements with my 4 year old. It’s huge! And now I am setting myself up better with my 1 year old from the start.
• These workshops have put us all in contact with a lot of dads who have either already gone through stages of dading or are going through same stages of dading. This is very important. I really enjoyed hearing the science and theory side of the child’s brain and hearing from other dads about their challenges struggles and solutions.
• These workshops are great and bring a real sense of community which is often missing in these times. Really enjoyed the whole experience. Thank you.
