Daditude

Vic and Al talk about the huge task of helping and empowering your kids to combat bullying. They also chat with new dad and comedian Nazeem Hussain about how he plans on raising his son to be resilient, and discuss the way the internet has changed the bullying game.
Need help tackling bullying? There are a bunch of websites with great advice, including Bullying, No Way!, The National Centre Against Bullying and Bully Zero. Also, remember the Kids Helpline is there to help kids feel empowered.

Vic and Al talk about how to cope with the shock of becoming a parent, what happens when it all gets a little too hard and discuss post-natal depression in dads (yes, it's a real thing). They also talk to Terri Smith, who is the CEO Perinatal Anxiety & Depression Australia to get some great advice on how to cope (SPOILER: always ask for help!) and check in with a mum and friend of the show, Sam, about her experience with post-natal depression.
If you're struggling a bit, you can check out the great resources at Panda.org.au and Howisdadgoing.org.au. You can also always talk to someone at lifeline 24/7 - 13 11 14. Dads need care too.

Vic and Al are joined this episode by guest co-host Steve Carfino. He’s a Fox Sports commentator and former NBL star, now father of two who are both very talented basketball players! The three talk about the dadlema of how to walk the line between being supportive of your kids’ natural talents, without becoming the pushy stage parent!

How's this for a Dadlema - when you and your partner decide you don't want to have any more kids, who does the heavy lifting to make sure that doesn't happen? Vic and Al consider the options for men when it comes to post-baby contraception and talk to comedian and self-proclaimed vasectomy advocate Greg Sullivan about why he thinks all men should consider getting the snip.

Vic and Al put on their aprons and try to crack the code of fussy eating! They compare cooking tactics and get some great tips from children's nutritionist Simone Emery from Play With Food Australia.

This week, we cram five Italian men into one small studio as Vic and Al talk to the guys from comedy trio Sooshi Mango. Famous for their Ethnic Dads youtube videos, they talk about the joys of their Italian upbringing and how that has affected their own parenting styles.
