MyTime Men’s group • The power of 10 minutes

The Power of 10 minutes

Children don’t seek attention…. they seek connection!

Meaningful moments become the memories that act as the foundation for how they will do things when they grow up. Each moment is a brick of character they add to their wall. 10 minutes of your time will result in your child:

• Increased connection, which will result in increased self-confidence 
• Increased curiosity which will bring increased security
• Increased trust, which will result in increased social skills
• Increased self-esteem 
• Decreased anxiety and doubt

During this session, we will:

• Discuss the power of choice and how to reframe our focus
• The power of connection with our children through play, reading, cooking etc.
• Brainstorm and share ideas about spending quality time with your children, including transition times – let’s be creative!
• Creating good habits for you and your children
• … and more

Meet and share experiences and information with other fathers, grandfathers and
other male carers

MyTime Men is a unique service for fathers and other male primary carers of children with a disability, developmental delay or chronic medical condition.

It’s a regular informal meeting place where you can unwind, socialise, talk about your experiences, get information, share ideas about managing a range of situations and support and be supported by others.

Members get to plan the group sessions around their specific needs as carers.

MyTime Men group is run by parent facilitators who have shared experience in raising a child with disabilities and delays.

During my time, you will:

• Chat over tea/coffee – in some MyTime sessions, members just relax over a coffee, talk about their week and share advice and information.
• Learn something new – in some sessions, the facilitator or a guest speaker might lead discussions on a topic of interest.
• Take care of yourself – sometimes, the group might just have fun with an activity aimed at helping members relax and look after their wellbeing.

These sessions are for

Fathers, Step-father, Male carers and other male family members of children with disability, developmental delay or neurodivergence aged 0-18 years old.
