Dad Chats Live – 28 August 2020, back to school and nursery.
It is that time of year again, the back to school dread it kicking in! Maybe your kids are going into a new school year, or starting school or nursery for the first time? Whatever the situation you’re in, we all know that this can be a stressful time for kids and parents alike.

2. Did our parents help us with school to the extent that we do now? Can you remember your parents helping you finish your homework or colour the front cover of project?
3. Have we noticed taking on our parent’s mannerisms or tone as a parent? Have you caught yourself saying something and thought my mum or dad would have done exactly that?
