Jake Burden founded Ballet Brothers to support and encourage boys who love to dance. From the age of 9 Jake has had this passion to dance and we hear it today. In his dancing career Jake has danced with 4 international ballet companies. But dancing often leads to bullying and there is still a negative stigma about being a male dancer. This is why he feels dancers need to support each other and help educate the non-dancers to understand all the priceless life lessons that can be learned from dancing.

December 27: Dads and their Babies
Dr Dawson Cooke … in conversation with Bill Kable

New research findings from Curtin University not only dispel outdated thinking that babies are women’s business but indicate fathers are as important as mothers in developing a child’s attachment security. It’s all about being tuned in to the thoughts, feeling and intentions of family members.

“If you’re looking at the long-term impact of the child, the father is critical. It’s tragic we don’t recognise the importance of fathers more.”

Clinical Psychologist & Researcher, Dr Dawson Cooke, joins us in the studio to tell us about his latest research.
