How does the relationship between parent and child change as your kids find their way into adulthood?
In the new series, Modern Dads, Hugh van Cuylenburg chats to six dads from very different backgrounds, to find out how they approach fatherhood. What are their greatest triumphs? What keeps them up at night? And what do they wish they'd known before becoming a dad?
For Rob Moodie, 2005's Victorian Father of the Year, it was important to be a parent first and a friend second when his children were younger, but to allow that relationship to change as they grew up.
Rob also happens to be Hugh's father-in-law. But while this story is emotionally close to home, it's being told from world's apart. Rob shared his story from Malawi, where he's working with the University of Malawi's public health program.
