WE live in a special time, when we are fortunate enough to see fathers rising to the challenge of being better dads, modern parents, free from the stereotypes of yesteryear and more interested in making genuine connections with their sons and daughters.
Every now and again, you’ll chance upon a YouTube video or a Facebook post that will warm the cockles of your heart – a dad doing something whimsical for his child like braiding her hair (https://youtu.be/Xa-91Xm5MLc) or joining a troupe of tutu clad ballerinas on stage because his little one has stage fright (https://youtu.be/lkglkzyFUq4) – and you think to yourself, wow, some fathers have come a long way.
