Scottish Year of the Dad is launched with a song for dad
FNF Scotland on Monday, January 25, 2016 at 9:59PM This song composed and sung by children at Queensferry Primary School gave an upbeat and positive feel to the launch of Scotland's Year of the Dad at Edinburgh Zoo on Sunday 24th January.
Before the actual launch the Minister of Children and Yound People Aileen Campbell fed some of the zoo penguins for a photo call, recalling the male penguin's role in looking after the eggs - shared parenting penguin style. She then spoke about the influence of her own father and mentioned the involved parenting role of her partner, which allows her to pursue a demanding career.
During the coming year Families Need Fathers Scotland will join in the celebrations by promoting shared parenting and developing ways of supporting both parents to be fully involved with their children whether they live together or are separated.
