DIYFather invited onto TVNZ's Dad Panel

The other day we got asked to join TVNZ's dad panel to talk about "becoming a dad" - so I went on the show today to represent DIYFather.com. Here's a link to the show if you want to check it out (opens a pop-up window). Dad Panel on TV NZ's Good Morning Show (it's about 2h 30min in, so just FF if you want to go straight to the dad's panel).

Nothing radical happened but it was great to have a relaxed chat about different experiences. Lots of dads sent in emails to the show as well which was great to see - there's obviously interest in fatherhood. YAY!

The DIYFather Book Call Me Dad! Media Release

Call me Dad! A Manual for new fathers
By Stefan Korn, Scott Lancaster, Eric Mooij

There are thousands of parenting books out there, but when three Wellington guys became dads, they quickly realized there was nothing that spoke directly to them as men. They wanted something easy to read, instructional without being overly academic and providing a male perspective on all the stuff first-time dads need to know. Call Me Dad! is written for a new generation of men, to address this lack. Fathers are now much more deeply involved. More and more dads are no longer content with traditional, stereotyped roles and are questioning their contribution to the upbringing of their children.
