Welcome to Fathering Adventures
We’re now facilitating Father-Son and Dad &
Daughter Adventures throughout Australia, and beyond.
You will experience an enjoyable, exciting, adventure-filled
environment where you will be inspired, equipped, and
empowered, to really connect, or perhaps reconnect with
your child. It will be a life-giving, life-changing
experience that promises to provide moments that will
create powerful memories to last a lifetime, and opportunities
to fill a photo album.
Research reveals that children with involved, loving
fathers are significantly more likely to do well in
school, have healthy self-esteems, exhibit empathy and
pro-social behaviour, and avoid high-risk behaviours
such as drug use, truancy, and criminal activity compared
to children who have uninvolved fathers.
Sadly, research also reveals, as stated by Dr Bruce
Robinson in his book “Fathering from the Fast
Lane”, that "A number of studies have shown
us the awful truth of our lack of focus on our children:
on average, each child receives less than fifteen minutes
of attention per day. In fact some studies state that
it is actually less than two minutes per day if a strict
definition is used (giving individual children focused
attention, rather than interacting with all the children
together)."
“It is not flesh and blood but the heart
which makes us fathers and sons.”
Johann Schiller (1759-1805)
Being a father is more than genetics. A father is a
man who loves, delights in, teaches, mentors, nurtures,
trains, and affirms a younger person. His role is crucial
in the younger person's physical, mental, emotional,
and spiritual development. He may be a biological father,
a stepfather, an uncle, a grandfather, a mentor, a teacher,
or a coach.
