Fearless Fathers

The Cost Of Taking Bad Parenting Advice

We've all heard it in one form or another. The advice that's canned, overused, or just plain bad. YOu know it when you listen to it and tend to brush it off. But... what has taken that advice cost you? A chance at getting uncomfortable? Keeping you tied to old, toxic family traits that don't serve you? A chance at actually feeling like a good father?

All of these happen in one form or another. You can't stop what people say to you, but you can control how to react and respond internally to what advice people give you. That's what Dave is harping on today. 

Use this as a chance to spring into the week fresh, motivated, and ready to tackle whatever comes your way. We have your back.

Don't let the financial scarcity mindset cost you more than it has! Get started with our new training, "Fearless Finance," and kick-start to a mentality of abundance (in just one hour)! Head over to https://www.fearlessfathers.net/fearless-finance to get started today

Persistence As A Father - One Day At A Time

Today on the Fearless Fathers Podcast, Dave O shares his thoughts on Persistence and what that word means in fatherhood. He goes over the good and bad of the word, why it's one of the best tools to have, and not allowing others to halt you.

When being persistent, it's easy to fall short of a goal. The road gets tough, and it's harder to move. When you get overwhelmed by a goal, it just means you have a lack of clarity. Don't stop when you are three feet from victory. We teach our kids to be persistent in life. Make sure to practice what you preach. 

Go into this week with a clear goal, a clear mind, and ready to tackle what comes. With our persistence mixed with desire and passion, we overcome everything.

 

Want to have a financial abundance mindset?

 

Dave O has put together the formula he's worked on for the last three years to transform his life from financial scarcity to abundance in just one hour. Head over to www.fearlessfathers.net/fearless-finance today and get this revolutionary training for just seven dollars.

SLING YOUR BAG, IT’S THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL - Replay

Today on the show, we’re talking about you and your little ones' first day of school. It can be an amazing, and difficult time for both parents and kids. This being the first time that you hope and pray everything you taught your kid will help them and putting your trust into a stranger to guide and grow your child. Both Ryan and Dave give their take on it, Ryan getting ready to send his kid off to school within the next year or so, and Dave-O a bit ways away yet. The emotions you feel when your little one just doesn’t want to let go are perfectly normal, and we all feel them one way or another. 

 

We use two great pieces in the episode. The first one being a dad’s thoughts as he sends his little girl to school for the first time, and a video of a dad that interviewed his daughter each year about her first day of school, up to her senior year.

Dad's Away From Their Kids: Living Out of State, But Not Out of The Heart

It seems like more and more, we see and hear of dads away from their kids. More so, it seems like it's the dads who want to be there for their kids daily.

 

Now, we aren't saying that is the case for everyone. There are those where it needs to and should happen. Those are the dads that don't listen to this podcast. We are talking about the dads who put in the reps every day. Taking every step imaginable gives a life and role model for the offspring to excel and have a better life than they had growing up. Those are who we are reaching for today.

Sadly, the CDC reports that approx 3.5% of kids with split parents live with the father only. So we sit down and share some numbers, thoughts, and feelings about this issue. How those who live out of (or in) state of their kids and hopefully ways you can overcome and still be there.

Sharing What You Loved Growing Up With Your Kids

We all love to go back in time and remember our good old days. The shows, movies, games, and just plain cool. Sharing those with our kids can be the best time between dad and child. Nothing seems to bring a bond tighter than sharing fandoms.

 

Today, we talk about just that, from the new Ghostbusters (2021) trailer to superheroes and even video games. We share our takes from the good side and the sometimes bad side (you know, the things that didn't age too well).

Should We Intervene In Our Kids Lives, Or Let Them Grow?

Today, Dave O and Ryan are talking about intervening in your child's growth or letting them figure it out on their own? 

 

Let's break down what we mean by that. What's a better approach to helping our children navigate the world? Should we step in every time and input our own teachings and experience, or should we let them fall, get up, and figure it out? 

We feel both of these are the right answer (at different times). There isn't a clear-cut example of this, and the line is faintly drawn. We break down three different meanings of Intervening in our child's lives. 

They are:

1. Intervening when they are in a fight

2. Your Child Intervening In Your Life

3. Intervening in their Schooling

 

We share some articles from three different sources, our thoughts, experiences, and how we have gone about this.

The Struggles of Potty Training and How to Overcome

Today, Dave O and Ryan talk about Potty training. When is it time to start making that transition? How do you go about it where both you and the little one(s) aren't stressed/upset and hear our stories on how we have been handling it and tricks we've used. 

 

Some key takeaways from today's episode include:

 

1. This is a big emotional change in your child's life (and yours). It's a scary, new situation. Make it as positive as you can.
2. Take it a day at a time. Stick to a routine and build upon it.
3. Know that kids develop differently. Just because a friend's kid is potty trained now doesn't make them any better.
