Dad Classic: The Importance Of Play With Our Kids |EP144|

|EP144|On today's  Dad Classic episode of Stay At Home Podcast, I open the show talking about New Years, that it's great to have fresh goals and aspirations for the new year but we also need to make sure we focus on making the change, whatever it may be, day by day.  
I also mention the loss of Ken Block, one of the greatest professional drivers in the motorsports world. I talk about his career and his famed Gymkhana video series.  
Lastly I talk about a thought I had over the holiday break about the importance of actually playing with our kids rather than giving them copious amounts of things to occupy their time.  I reference a few article that talk about the importance for not just the kids but the parents as well to play, pretend, and immerse ourselves into that world.  It's more important than you think!

Dad Classic: Movember= Men’s Health Awareness Month. |EP139|

Today on this Dad Classic Episode of Stay At Home Dads Podcast I dip up an oldie from 2021 where I get into the meaning of the Movember movement and men’s health. Have a great Thanksgiving weekend!  Happy November, or Movember as it's also called these days.  I actually came across a story on social media about mens mental health awareness and that men are more likely to commit suicide much more often than women so I thought this warranted a discussion.  I also take a deep dive into Britney Spears and her mental health, as well as taking a look into what Movember is all about.  Enjoy!

Dad Classic: Validating Our Kids And Navigating Their Emotions. |EP134|

|EP134|  On this Dad Classic episode of Stay at Home Dads I start off with a little On This Day.  I also talk about daylight savings time and why in the hell are we changing the clocks.  Lastly, I get into validation with our kids, how we inadvertently dismiss our kids emotions and how we can go about validating these emotions to help them build strong self regulating skills.  I also wanted to talk about validation in our adults lives, how we crave that validation on life choices, decisions we make, to purchases we make, but that will be discussed at another time. New episodes will be back next week!

From Lazy To Determined: Tips For Cultivating Hard Working Kids. |EP133|

|EP133|  Today on Stay At home Dads Podcast I kick the show off talking about a dad/daughter bonding experience we had over the weekend, a school affiliated camp out.  I then talk about the main topic of this episode, things parents can do to cultivate hard working kids.  I reference and article that's linked below that goes over six things we can do right now that will help change the way our kids view and tackle hard things they want to do, as well as may not want to do.  It can be very difficult motivating our kids to do things they don't really want to do, even things they enjoy can be hard so hourly these tips will help us make that process a bit easier.

Dad Classic: Marriage Roadblocks And Wife Complaints. |EP130|

|EP130|  Today on this Dad Classic episode of Stay At Home Dads Podcast,  I open with a social media post I came across that hopefully will change the way we have or start conversations with the people around us.  Then I get into today's Dad Classic episode where I talk about a Reddit post I came across about a woman who was venting about the awful things her husband does and thought about leaving constantly.  There were many more people in the comments complaining about similar things so I wanted to know more. I found a few articles that were geared toward things husbands do to irritate and bother their wives so I dove in. I discuss some of the points comparing and relating my own experiences with them. Hopefully this will enlighten you as it did me and make us all be better husbands.

From Struggles to Strength: The Importance of Kids Conquering Hard Things. |EP129|

Today on Stay At Home Dads Podcast I start off talking about a 5k I recently ran with a couple friends.  Something I knew was coming up yet still never trained for!  It was hard but I did it, I finished.  I then mention something very difficult my daughter is going through and expand on this topic of us and our kids ability to do hard things.  I discuss the repercussions of not having our kids conquer hard things as well as what we can do to help them do it, having them figure things out on their own to build that confidence, tenacity, and strength and how doing so benefits them in the long run.

Defying Expectations: Rethinking Masculinity in the Modern World. |EP126|

|EP126|  Today on Stay At Home Dads Podcast I open the show discussing my kids headed back to school, how its bittersweet seeing my girls go off and experience this new chapter and what I'm going to do with all my new found free time.  I also dig into a social media post that talks about a husband trading gender roles with his wife, him staying home to take care of their children and her going to her high profile executive career.  I also talk about their eventual divorce and how commenters claim it was caused by the husbands lack of masculinity.  I then get into to nuances of masculinity, how I believe it has an evolving meaning from the traditional ways I still agree with and also some different ways that I discuss in todays show.

Extravagant Parties And Overindulging Our Kids. |EP125|

|EP125|  Today on Stay At Home Dads Podcast, I talk about a crossroad some parents find themselves in, the party crossroad.  Do we throw our kids a big blowout party or not?  I talk about my two girls recent large birthday parties we threw for them, the cost, the stress, the work, but also the joy we had doing it.  I then go beyond just big parties and talk about overindulging our kids in general, the negative effects it can have and what we can do about it.
