Chch Playgroups

Let’s Start Something Up!

Dads are doing a lot of parenting these days, but they don’t have a lot of opportunities to network with each other.

When my own daughters were little (they’re teenagers now) I spent a lot of time with them by myself while my wife was working. Being able to connect with other dads with children that age was the single most helpful thing in keeping me sane! And the kids picked up some great friends along the way, friendships that lasted for many years.

SKIP and Father & Child think we should try and give more dads such opportunities. So I am here, as a ‘SKIP Champion’ to help fathers get some groups going.
I have some great info, too, about parenting as well as some real ‘wow’ stuff about how dads create such massive benefits especially for babies and toddlers. This is only if you want it.

If you’re interested, drop me an email, or leave a message at the office, and I’ll call you back. If there’s enough guys in your area I’ll organise times and places.

Looking forward to talking to you.

Why join a playgroup?

How about this:

  • Children learn a lot from being around other children and other adults, too.
  • Children really enjoy being around guys, and learn a lot from them.
  • The best source of parenting info for you are other parents.
  • It keeps the little buggers distracted for a while—always a bonus.
  • Watching your children and socialising at the same time is officially double-tasking. Beat the stereotype!
