How dads build emotional safety and lifelong bonds with their kids
Host/Guest Presenter- Si Moore
Want to know the #1 way to give your child a strong start in life? Emotional safety.
This session explores how dads can build secure attachment from day one — even if they didn’t grow up with it themselves. From simple daily habits to deeper reflections on our own upbringing, we’ll unpack what it means to be a “safe base” for your child.
Si Moore brings both personal insight and professional expertise to this conversation. As a Registered Nurse, founder of Strong Dads and new dad, he’s walked the challenging road of breaking intergenerational cycles — and now helps other men do the same through his work in men’s health, emotional wellbeing, and early parenting. He’s also on a mission to become Australia’s first dedicated Dad’s Nurse, advocating for better support for fathers across the health system.
This is for every dad who wants to be present, connected, and calm — and who knows that strength comes from showing up, not shutting down.
