Getting the kids into school is a huge occasion in many households, it signals the start of your child's venture into the real world. But it doesn't always go smoothly!

Every month our Newstalk Dads reflect on parenting experience, and this month it was those formative years in primary school.

Take a listen to Off the Ball's Ger Gilroy (who co-hosts the Dadcast podcast), Newstalk Breakfast presenter Shane Coleman, and Tom Dunne as they reminisce on everything from making friends at the school gate, watching their children's personalities and interests grow, and the dreaded lunchbox!
