In this episode, David Bonnet shares his thoughts about the importance of being emotionally available and how fathers can better connect with their children, especially as they grow into adulthood. David discusses the challenges of earning the trust of adult children, the balance between guiding and allowing natural consequences, and the impact of showing empathy over strictness. He also talks about how to move from a stance of control to one of support, ultimately creating a stronger bond with your kids. This conversation is a powerful reminder that fatherhood is about more than just providing—it's about being there in a way that truly matters.
