APtly Said - Documentary "Dads" with Thiago Queiroz

"Also, for being a father in Brazil, I didn’t have any references of fathers who were actually involved in raising their kids, because our society only expects moms to really take care of their kids, while the dads are seen as unable to take care of a baby. That didn’t make any sense for me at that time (and still doesn’t), so I started researching different views on child rearing."

 

"Gladly, I found API and getting to know [API’s 8 Principles of Parenting] was one of the best things that happened to me, because I started to understand how we can build strong emotional bonds with our children and more important: I understood how I, as a father, could do so many things with my baby toward a strong secure attachment." ~Thiago Queiroz

 

Meet Thiago Queiroz–a father who has been absolutely on fire for supporting parents in his native Brazil since his oldest of 4 children were born 8 years ago, and featured in the American documentary, "Dads."

 

Directed by Bryce Dallas Howard, daughter of Hollywood film director Ron Howard, "Dads" illustrates what she refers to as contemporary fatherhood, asking celebrities and everyday men what being father means to them. "Dads" released in 2020 on Apple TV+ after premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival as second runner-up for the People’s Choice Award for Documentaries. ~Rita Brhel for APtlySaid.org
