We’re joined by father of four Sam Abberley for this episode to discuss what it means to be a father and how that changes as children get older. Sam chats to us about becoming a dad at the age of 19 and how growing up without his own father around has impacted his view on fatherhood.

We speak about how and when to bring up difficult subjects with children such as sex, misogyny and violence, and how it’s difficult to predict behaviours for each new stage children get to.

This episode is a example of what a healthy father/son relationship looks like and we hope it proves useful to you or someone you know.

We’d love you to share this episode with your friends and family to get difficult but important conversations started that really can make a difference to the world we’re living in.
