This dynamic DVD and program will provide parents and teachers with an outstanding resource to assist and encourage fathers to positively engage in their children’s lives.  The DVD has relevance to all parents and caregivers.
Colin Pettit, President, Primary Principals Association of WA

The positive and affirming messages of the Fathering Project will enrich the lives of everyone who engages with them.....and they are just as important for teachers and their families as they are for the parents of our students.
Alison Woodman, President, Western Australian Secondary School Executives Association

This DVD gives very simple and very important advice that is useful for all fathers. If they follow this advice it should make a big impact on the health and wellbeing of Australian children. It’s very well done. Excellent. Professor Peter le Souef, Professor of Paediatrics, Princess Margaret Hospital for Children.

This DVD is brilliant and represents a strategic way for schools to encourage dads to be more involved in their childrens’ education. Teachers and principals today need advocates in the community, particularly from among dads.  This is a stunning video.  
Dr Peter Prout, Lecturer in Education, Edith Cowan University & former teacher/principal

I would like to encourage Principals to take and use these resources and provide opportunities for every father in their school to watch the DVD and to have access to the booklet. This is a great opportunity to make a difference in the lives of many of the families in their schools.
Engaging fathers in their children’s upbringing is one of the most difficult parenting issues today. While there are many parenting courses, there is little available that directly targets fathers. Having run a number of parenting courses myself, the lack of fathers attending who are keen to learn and explore their relationship with their children has always been disappointing.
This Fathering DVD contains relevant and accessible materials which fathers can use in small groups or at home by themselves.
The Fathering booklet provides a simple ongoing tool for Fathers to provide practical ideas for use with their children.  
Stephen Larkin YouthCARE Area Chaplain

 It’s a fantastic video. It could have a very big impact, as long as you actually get dads to watch it.

My father died when he was the age that I am now.  Nothing could more powerfully motivate me as a father.  This DVD is full of honest, real- life advice and practical encouragement to help you do your best at being a Dad.  I gladly recommend it.
Kanishka Raffel, Lawyer and Pastor.

I have 3 young children and am prone to spending long hours at work. This DVD was a powerful reminder of the significance of spending quality time with each of my kids – highly recommended. I think it’s a brilliant DVD and valuable resource
David Metcalf, Managing Director, DiskBank Pty Ltd

The DVD was very moving. I immediately went out and SMS’d  all my kids to tell them I loved them. And I like the dad dates idea – I am planning those too
Mark Williams. Artist.

‘This video succeeded in touching the hearts of us viewers emotionally. Lots of bits did that for me, the introduction from the doctor, the stories from the dads, listening to the kids - they were all very touching’
