125: Shut Down, Restart, Reboot

Have you ever caught your son looking at you with pride in his eyes? It’s the best. I got one of those looks this weekend when I pulled out my guitar and played in front of his friends. It was a song we both loved and he was surprised I’d learned it. He was so proud of me he recorded it on his iPad.

124: A Look of Pride

The Dude’s House had its first dinner party! Some of my oldest friends came over and I cooked for them. I wanted to use the opportunity to have a teaching moment with Niko about how to be a great host. He did his part, pitched in, and I think he learned some lessons he’ll never forget.  Sign up for updates: www.drjaywarren.com/dadhood Join The Dadhood Journey  Private Facebook Group Follow Jay Warren on Instagram: @doctorjaywarrenLearn about Men of Iron: www.drjaywarren.com/menofiron

123: Teach Them To Be A Host

This weekend I witnessed first hand, the benefits of young kids playing with older ones. It’s fun but also so great developmentally and expansively. The older kids Niko was hanging out with were great with him, and the experience built up his confidence and expanded his expectations of himself and what he’s capable of.

122: Playing With The Big Boys

This week at school, Niko’s class is having “Invention Week.” The students are asked to come up with an invention, figure out how to build it, and present it to the class. I’m going to be honest and say that watching my kid build this project has me fighting the instinct to just take over and do it for him.

121: Let Them Learn

I’ve been travelling a lot lately, and absolutely loving it. Thankfully, now that Niko is a little older, he’s been able to come with me which is fantastic, but also really highlighted the necessity of making sure that traveling kids are travel savvy.

The Dadhood Journey

As a parent, if you haven’t heard “the kids don’t do that with me!” yet, brace yourself: you probably will. It’s a common sore spot I hear from many parents I talk to, and I have a pretty simple explanation regarding why children act differently around different people.

If you’re a Dad-to-be or the Dad of a newborn, you might not have used it yet. If you have a kid that’s a toddler or older, you certainly have used “The Dad Voice” with your kids. Is it bad, is it effective? If it’s effective, is it still doing more harm than good. Or is it just the way it is???

093: Setting Family Boundaries at the Holidays

We all do it, in the trenches, in the middle of the night, exhausted: Wondering if you made a huge mistake becoming a dad. It’s scary to say it out loud, but the simple acknowledgement of those feelings, can allow you to move past them more quickly.

082: New Dads: Second Guessing Dadhood

While driving with Niko in the car today, he turned to me and said, “Dad, I just love this car. I hope you have this car forever!” It’s not a super fancy car, but I agreed and added that the only people who are ever really in that car, are him and I. As I said it, it dawned on me that it's really just him and I, which is cool, but it was also kind of sad.
