Being a father is... a joy...a privilege...complicated. I speak from experience. Fatherhood is a never-ending duty and regardless of how old your children are, it's never too late to learn from experts on how to be a better father. Sunday is Father's Day in Canada and for your weekend reading pleasure, I've assembled some great pieces from The Conversation network on the many different aspects of fatherhood....and becasue the Raptors' bandwagon is still rolling on, we've got a great article by Jamie Gruman of the University of Guelph on how all of us can learn from the resilience shown by the newly crowned NBA champions!
Have a great weekend and we'll be back in your Inbox on Monday.
