Shownotes

From forming flowers in floristry to fundamentally fostering the foundation years of fledgling minds, Kirsty joins the podcast today bringing decades of learning in early childhood education.

Discover the importance of play for young minds, encouraging curiosity and why responsible risk taking is critical for a developing child.

As always, Alex gets his free advice (which backfires) and Scott learns a thing or two about prepping for day-one dropoff.

-------------------------------------

Alex has two kids. Scott would like some.

Together, they’re figuring out parenting one questionable decision at a time.

My Friend Had a Baby is the podcast where two mates explore what it really takes to make and raise tiny humans, from a dad’s point of view. With a mix of personal stories, real-time learning, and expert guests who actually know what they're talking about, you’ll get honest insights into pregnancy, birth, and parenting… without taking any of it too seriously.

Funny, thoughtful, and surprisingly informative, this show is for dads, mums, parents-to-be, or anyone who’s ever met a baby and wondered, “How do people do this?”
