Femme StaffFather’s Day is almost here, and as is the tradition, TikTok is bringing together fathers from across the world to display the integral role they play in their kids’ lives. With the hashtag #dadtok having garnered over 1.8 billion views, fathers have taken to the platform to share authentic parenting advice that include their own challenges and successes as well as helpful tips for other parents.
This year we are giving a shout out to all fathers who consistently remind us of their dynamic roles in the digital age while inspiring new dads and helping influence society positively. Here are some popular dads on TikTok who keep us entertained as they share their experience, offer guidance and give hope in fun and inspiring ways:
