Hamish Blake chats with other dads he really admires (and whose phone number he had relatively easy access to) about their approach to dadding, and in the process hopefully learn a little, steal some of their hard earned wisdom and help us all dad a tiny bit better.
Wild Rule Breaking Season 3 Finale with Dr Billy Garvey
Behavioural Paediatrician Dr Billy Garvey returns to tell us about the science behind the stories of Season 3. Dr Billy has picked some moments where our generous guests have touched on areas on which there is lots of evidenced based research, and then he breaks it down to some super simple stuff that we can all put into practice. In this stacked episode we look at… Improving self esteem through kids developing mastery of something (Bret McKenzie Ep (https://howotherdadsdad.com/episode/how-bret-mckenzie-dads-a-creative-play-masterclass-from-a-master-of-creativity)), how to be an authoritative parent, not an authoritarian and how there is a big difference! (Wippa’s Ep (https://howotherdadsdad.com/episode/how-michael-wippa-wipfli-dads-nothing-is-impossible-except-maybe-a-serious-conversation-with-hame)), talk about composure and how important our own self regulation is (Nathan Fa’avae Ep (https://howotherdadsdad.com/episode/how-nathan-faavae-dads-creating-the-ultimate-team-your-family)), the importance of making sure we are always adapting our parenting based on the kid that is in front of us (Andy Griffiths Ep (https://howotherdadsdad.com/episode/how-andy-griffiths-dads-bum-jokes-imagination-and-loving-what-is)), the power of working on ourselves and the protective elements that can help kids avoid trauma or help them deal with it (Wayne Hope Ep (https://howotherdadsdad.com/episode/how-wayne-hope-dads-stepdadding-working-on-yourself-dadding-after-trauma-and-creating-joy)) and why being honest with our kids and creating an a safe environment where they can always tell what they think is so important (Paddy Brammall Ep (https://howotherdadsdad.com/episode/how-patrick-brammall-dads-an-atypical-path-to-dadding-and-all-the-typical-ups-and-downs)). Some really great stuff. Huge thanks to Billy. He is so generous with his time to listen to all our episodes and apply his clinical wisdom.

How Andy Griffiths Dads - Bum jokes, imagination and loving what is
Andy is responsible for igniting a love of reading in millions of kids. It’s a complex alchemy, but bum jokes have played a large part in it. From The Day My Bum Went Psycho to the hugely popular Treehouse series (which he created with longtime collaborator Terry Denton and which was edited by his wife Jill), Andy has written wild, boundless and very funny adventures that have drawn many kids into the beautiful escapism of books who otherwise may have missed out. With more than 30 books to his name (and as an ex-school teacher), Andy has become an expert in delving into young minds, and knowing what is going to excite, amaze and keep them turning the page. So we were very excited to chat to Andy and see what he might have gleaned from his unique vantage point as a kids author, and of course from his own dadding journey. Andy is extremely humble, but passes on some wonderful wisdom and also shares perhaps one of the best ideas we’ve heard for the gathering and preserving family lore. The Family Book. It’s near the end of the chat, so listen out for it! Andy is a big believer in creating space for kids to be who they are, not who we want them to be (a familiar refrain we hear from our learned guests dad) and tries to practise a simple ethos through it all. Loving What Is - because that’s what’s happening! Great words to live by, for sure. Massive thanks to Andy - we loved this chat. You can find out lots more about Andy HERE (https://andygriffiths.com.au/) and find his new book, The Land of Lost Things HERE (https://andygriffiths.com.au/adventures-unlimited-series/the-land-of-lost-things/). — And if you love family adventures, hit the road and take one!

Wild Rule Breaking Season 3 Finale with Dr Billy Garvey
Published 28 Nov 2024 · Transcript excerpt
[…] How dare you kind of have any expectations of me because no one else has before. Totally can't handle a stretch. Yeah, exactly. And then there's this beautiful fourth type that we're aiming for which is high warmth and high demand and that's authoritative parenting and that means I am the person who's leading us on this but you have a voice. I want you to understand why I want you to have a say in what matters to us as our family and our values and we'll actually go through this together and we will adapt and that's what you see we're doing is he realises because he's just come in with demand, he's struggled, you know, and then you're the same, you're like, I think they're not trying but actually kids are always trying and if they're not actually trying because they're not going to school or they're not listening as a parent, there's always a reason it's not.
