Child development can feel like a puzzle – with milestones, behaviours, and “is this normal?” questions often leaving dads unsure where to start. But understanding how children grow, learn, and change in those first five years is key to supporting them with confidence, patience, and joy.
This webinar offers a clear, encouraging look at the stages of development from birth to 5, breaking down what’s typical, what varies, and how fathers can play a unique role in nurturing each stage. Whether you’re a new dad, an experienced father, or someone mentoring and supporting dads, you’ll gain practical insight into the small things you can do that make a big difference in your child’s growth.
With relatable examples and easy-to-apply strategies, we’ll explore how supporting development becomes part of everyday life — not another item on your to-do list.
