    6. The 'Advice' Episode
    Oct 22 2021
    The most misguidedly-titled of all the episodes. The one thing that unites all the Dads in this series - or throughout history - is that we’re all just giving it a go. For Dave C, being careful not to swear infront of his little ones is something he can only pass on in hindsight; for Shane, it’s coming to terms with maybe being a superhero in your child’s eyes. But... Sarah Ockwell-Smith is a child psychologist and author who offers some actual, refined Advice on the Advice Episode of the How To Be A Dad Podcast.
