How Fathers Show Up For Their Child with Thabang Mokoena

Send us Fan Mail"Physical separation should not stop you from meaningfully taking part in your little one’s life. It’s much easier for mothers to build a bond with their child during pregnancy and in the early days, especially if they are breastfeeding. With dads, you have to form this bond more intentionally in other ways."In one of our previous episodes we spoke about Why Do Fathers Matter? To follow up on that conversation I'm joined by Thabang Mokoena to discuss how the Fatherhood Friday movement started and unpack the importance of fathers providing foundational lessons to children before they head out to face the  real world. As a combat sport enthusiast, we look into how this form of training can be beneficial for a child's confidence, self-defense and mental health. We also explore the impact of video games and how curating those experiences for your child affects their socialization.       Then end off by highlighting how men need to empower and educate themselves before committing to relationships, marriage and children. Thabang also shares some books and mentors who've helped him in his journey of self improvement.   Thabang Mokoena is the founder and creator Fatherhood Friday. Fatherhood Friday is a movement committed to celebrating positive fatherhood and seeks to Inspire, Motivate and Celebrate fathers. Please don't forget to Subscribe to gain access to all our podcasts.
