The number one tip that I have for fathers and their kids is to model or try to model the type of human that you want to be to them.

You're never going to get it all right.

You're never going to be perfect.

But recognising that you play such a pivotal role in their life and the single most important thing that you can do for them is let them know that they're loved and try and demonstrate that in as many ways as possible.

So some of the things that I try to model to them is making sure how I respond is considered and calm.

It's very easy as a parent, I think, to get caught up in the moment sometimes when things are going on.

And so sometimes that's about showing them it's okay to just stop and pause and to separate myself from a situation.

Sometimes, really, to be honest, it's teaching them how to apologise.

The way that I model communication, the way that I model my love for them, the way that I model how I treat other people, is something that's really important in their development.

There's no substitute for just hanging out with your kids.

And so sometimes that's as simple as sitting on the couch beside them and watching whatever TV show that they're watching.

But also, then, in addition to that kind of impromptu time, really being deliberate about the time that I spend with them, making sure that I'm investing in what they're interested in, putting aside time outside of our busy lives and our busy schedules to spend both one on one time, but also collective family time.

Playing with your kids is so important.

There's not enough time really to do that.

Having fun is important.

Kids should be able to play and should be able to have fun.

But I think it really teaches them a lot about so many different things.

I find that play can teach them about social interactions, whether that's more structured, involving them in team sports or different things like that.

But it gives them a sense of how to interact with other people and in a community and teaches them some really important behaviours.
