A Dad's Path

The Family Commandments! Want to level up your family? Go beyond the Ten Commandments (Do not murder!) to define values that are important to you! Be Honest with your Family. Don't put others down. Creating family commandments is a great way to figure out what values are most important for your family.  

The holidays remind us of family traditions, sweet memories with our parents, excitement, and anticipation from childhood. As a dad, you want to create traditions so your kids can happily look back at this time of year with fond memories. Traditions don’t generally occur naturally. Making a tradition is fun if you do it consistently, and it should be something you look forward to every year. Once you have some ideas, you might want to put them in your calendar as a recurring item so you can remember to set the stage each year.

Holiday time is intense. We want to create perfect memories, a great meal, and gifts: So expectations can be sky high! But the fact is, your kids want fun. They want to bond with you! Today we explore ways in which dads can make the most out of the holiday time. Fatherhood FTW! 

How can you tell if you're raising a child who will be a successful adult? What is a successful adult, anyhow? We focus on tools you can teach your children so when they decide what success means to them; they are better equipped to achieve it. 

Today we explore what to do when you're in a dad-rut and fatherhood just doesn't seem to be working. We go over some ideas on how to change that parenting mindset.

In today's A Dad's Path podcast, we talk about Parallel Parenting. Parallel parenting occurs when two partners are working on parenting their children but are hardly in contact with each other. They're working in Parallel, but not together.  You can fall into a parallel parenting pattern from within your seemingly happy relationship. Enjoy and Dad On!

That's One! That's Two! Please don't make me keep counting!  In today's A Dad's Path podcast, we explore how to count to three effectively as a method for discipline. To get your kids to listen so, you do your job as a father.  Enjoy and Dad On!

As dads, we know we want our kids to feel comfortable talking with us- especially as they get older! At a basic level, if your child is unhappy or in physical or emotional pain, you want them to feel safe and encourage them to connect with you. Here's the key we discuss on today's podcast: To have an honest and open relationship with an older child, you need to start with an honest relationship when they're a younger child

In this episode, we explore how to teach your child to win or lose- gracefully. 

We make sure our kids get dressed, eat food, physically prepare for the school day. Can we help them get in a good headspace for the day?
