Parenting Book: Don’t Panic The Official Dad’s Guide to Parenting

How to be a dad, and parent with confidence

In the summer of 2024, I was honoured to deliver a masterclass on how to build deeper, more meaningful connections with your children. It was hosted by my business coaches, Paul and Lesley Mort, and what happened next blew me away.

The room was packed with dads. Not just physically present, but emotionally engaged, asking powerful questions like:
“How can I show up better for my kids?”
“What does being a great dad actually look like?”
“How do I build a stronger bond?”

In the weeks that followed, I was flooded with messages, calls and conversations that all said the same thing: “This needs to be a book.”

So I got to work. And now, I’m proud to say that on Saturday 19th July 2025, that book will be in your hands.

For every kind of dad — and every stage of the journey

Don’t Panic is a parenting companion made for you, whether you’re a biological dad, stepdad, adoptive father, foster parent or father figure. It’s 19 chapters of practical guidance, emotional insight and honest support to help you become the dad you want to be, and the dad your child needs you to be.

This isn’t about being perfect.
It’s about being present.

You won’t learn how to cook the perfect lasagne, but you will learn how to improve your communication, strengthen your connection, and navigate fatherhood with more clarity and confidence.

The truth is: children need their dads

Dads matter. To sons. To daughters. To families.
But all too often, dads are left out of the conversation, or made to feel like they should just “know” how to do it.

Maybe you never had a father figure of your own.
Maybe you’ve felt judged, or like you’re always doing it wrong.
Maybe you’ve got questions you never felt comfortable asking, or you did ask, and were brushed off.

Whatever your story is, this book is for you.

A judgement-free, real-world guide

Whether you read it cover to cover or dip into it when you need support, this book is designed to walk with you throughout your parenting journey. No pressure. No perfectionism. Just real-life tools and insights to help you:

• Communicate more effectively with your child

• Build trust and emotional connection

• Navigate the hard stuff with confidence and calm

• Learn, adapt, and grow along the way

It doesn’t matter where you’ve been, only that you’re ready to take a step forward.
