    Being a Dad

     
     

    A series of questions and answers that explore parenthood and successfully combining work+family, from the perspective of dads

     
     

    Being a Dad

    Learn from shared experiences in our Q&A sections

    Read the responses from other dads, offer your own advice, and attend our regular webinars.



     

    Many dads today are much more involved than their fathers or grandfathers ever were, either out of choice or practical necessity! We have broader definitions of the family unit with more step families, blended families and same-sex parenting. When you factor in the changes to the ways we all work, getting to grips with being a working father is no easy task.

    Whether you're an expectant dad or already have children, it's only natural to have questions about what to expect, how to be more involved as your children grow, how to integrate parenthood with your career, and even the need to understand your rights and responsibilities.
