Family bonds

It was awesome to read

“Extreme parenting: Mike’s

little adventurers” (WD, Aug

26). With Mike’s passion for

extreme travel experiences

being passed on to his

children, it definitely must

make holiday time very

exciting. These trips will

broaden their outlook on

life, and having that one-

on-one bonding time with

their dad must add to the

enjoyment. Their travels

will no doubt build self-

confidence, enthusiasm for

life and empathy for those

not so fortunate. However,

kids who don’t have such

a “high-octane” lifestyle can

also create close bonds with

family by investing in quality

time together.

Have your SAY

I really enjoyed the

“Family guys” article

about the relationships

of some of our celebrities

with their dads and kids

(WD, Aug 26). It’s so great to

see how hands-on they are in

their whanau, and how they

actively make time to spend

together. It was a real contrast

to read the story outlining

the tumultuous upbringing

that musician Ladi6 had.

What a wonderful tale of

redemption. Her father Vic

clearly continued the cycle of

violence that he himself

endured, but showed great

courage in turning his life

around and starting a charity

to help other victims of

domesticviolence.Thanks

for sharingtheirstory.
