Quoted from the event page:

When pāpā learn to understand their pēpi and tamaiti, and show they love and respect them, they help them thrive. A trusting, secure relationship shapes how their child's brain develops, especially in the first 2,000 days.
Parenthood looks different for pāpā than for māmā, and so can the support they need. A special panel of pāpā will share their experiences and tips, and look at how we can tautoko (support) pāpā in mana-enhancing ways as they grow as parents.
There'll be a chance to ask your questions and explore recommended resources.

Please direct all questions to the organiser: kiaora@takai.nz.
