How I Grew in Confidence as a Father

Men are playing a more involved role as fathers, reflecting a shift in perceived gender roles from their parents' generation. How can this generation of dads step up to be more involved if they did not experience engaged fatherhood with their fathers? Join our host, Aaron Ng, who chats with Jerrold Hong, an aspiring counsellor and father of two young children, aged 1 and 4. Jerrold shares his journey of preparing for fatherhood even before his children were born, and persisting through challenges to build a strong relationship with his children. He hopes to encourage dads that when they commit fully to connecting with their children from their unique role and strengths, results will show. --- At Focus on the Family Singapore, we believe that it is crucial for start building parent-child relationships intentionally when children are young.
