Russell Crowe Participates in Parenting DVD
Australian celebrity dad Russell Crowe may be known for his temper tantrums, but he also knows a thing or two about being a doting dad - or so says Australian Family Association Victoria's president Angela Conway. That's why he was one of a few Australian celebrities chosen to be featured giving advice in the Raising Children DVD. The DVD will be given to the parents of every child born in Australia over the next two years. It's an interactive 5 hour DVD covering basics about child health, development and care, and family management over the first 5 years. It features tips and real-life experiences from celebrity and everyday parents. Crowe talks about a dad's suppotive role in the family: "Your job is being supportive . . . whether that's going out and buying pickles at 3am when she's pregnant or whether that's doing whatever you can to make sure she's getting enough sleep when she's in the feeding process with the baby." The DVD is meant to be practical and workable for new parents, and experts who reviewed the DVD have said it's a valuable resource. Other Australian celebrities featured in the DVD include athletes Jana Rawlinson (nee Pittman), Lote Tuqiri and TV presenter Johanna Griggs. Crowe is a devoted dad to sons Charlie (3) and Tennyson (1).
