Have You Asked Your Dad?

On Friday, the 25th June 2021, the Afro may be no more.

That's if YOU make sure that we make our R120 000 target as we raise funds for the Maletsatsi Foundation.

This foundation provides care for many children who are currently in need of a place of safety, but more than that, they provide a family. Some of the children under their care are getting to the age when formal education is becoming a priority which is putting much pressure on an already stretched budget.

So, here's what we are doing: From the 16th to the 25th June, we will be collecting donations for the foundation, and the more money we raise, the tougher challenges I will face during the live stream on the evening of the 25th.

If we hit R120 000 at some point during those 10 days...the afro is going to go. Here's where you can make your donation:

What is courageous creativity, why is it important and how do you get your kids to do it?

These are some of the questions that we need to be asking ourselves as parents, and Kristian Imhof, Country Manager of LEGO South Africa joined me in this episode to discuss them!

Finding great content about fatherhood is really tough (that's one of the reasons I started AfroDaddy in the first place), but finding content about fatherhood that is funny, honest and not demeaning about dads is almost impossible.

So stumbling across the Dumb Dad Podcast  was a very happy event for me. These two comedians and stay-at-home-dads use short and smart videos on TikTok to show the true humour behind being a parent, and then talk through their dumbest dad moments on their weekly podcast.

This was SUCH a fun interview - it shows that no matter what part of the world you're from, there are experiences that we all share in this dad life!

I recommend watching their videos here,  and listening to their podcast here.

In this episode, I had the opportunity to chat to Emily House, author of the new children's book "Bon Bon and Blanket".

What makes this story extra special is that almost every family can see a part of themselves in it. I wanted to find out how and why Emily was able to achieve this in her fantastic little book!

If your child is in high school, this might be the year where a BIG question gets asked:

Which subjects should your kid study?

This feels like an almost impossible choice to make, because there are so many variables involving career choices, aptitude, enjoyment and what the school offers.

How do you make that decision, or more importantly, how do you help your child make that decision?

In this episode, Educational Psychologist Dayne Williams gives some great advice and insight into this very tricky decision.

Get more advice from Dayne by going to his website: www.edugrow.co.za.

Valentine's Day is coming up, so it's the time of the year when parents around the world turn to their partner and ask, "So...are we going to do anything this year, or...?"

The reality is that being a parent fundamentally changes the way you can show and enjoy romance - let's just admit it, and find new ways to enjoy Valentine's Day.

I asked you what were you doing on the day, so Julie and I went through your answers to look for some great ideas!

Who knows more about parenting...two normal dads or Google?

To help me answer that question, I enlisted the help of comedian Liam Bento. We took the internet giant head on, so listen to this episode to find out who wins!

(Just remember...95% of this episode is supposed to be a joke and SHOULD NOT be considered to be real parenting advice!)
