On today's episode, I sit down with my my friend and colleague, Jason Frishman, to talk about parenting, being the best man we can be (as well as being the best father) and Star Wars. -Why it's so challenging for us to see our kids as they ARE
It's been a long time since I've published an episode of TDJ and here are the updates on what's going on at The Dadhood Journey (upcoming episodes and guests, how to join the FB group, meet-ups locally and virtually, courses, etc.) and what mor
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 learn
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 h
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 c
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 h
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
This one’s for the moms! Our last episode was asking dads to share their experiences as new fathers, and now I’m wondering if you could pass this episode along to the moms in your lives for the same reason. If you could find the time to answer
I am working on some projects aimed at helping new dads, and I’ve created a questionnaire, looking for any advice experienced dads may have given their pre-dad selves. If you could find the time to answer a few questions, it would really help o
As you’re listening to this episode, Niko and I will be living it up in Kauai! This trip symbolizes more than just fun and relaxation, it also represents a milestone in the relationship between Niko’s mother and I. It took some work, but she ha
It’s Niko’s birthday! The purpose of this podcast is to (hopefully) be useful, inspiring and comforting to other dads out there, but it’s also a bit of a journal for me. So today, I wanted to use this platform to send a great big birthday wish
I had my first parent/teacher conference and it went great. I took the time to prepare for it by asking a couple of family friends (both with PhDs in Childhood Education) and wanted to share their insights to help you prepare for you next paren
How do you handle dishonesty with your kids? Niko has been testing his boundaries in terms of how far he can stretch the truth, and on this episode I wanted to share some strategies I’ve been using that have resulted in some progress. Links to
Trying to understand your 5-year-old’s emotions can be tricky. I want to make sure that he’s telling me what he’s feeling, and not putting my own filter on it, so we have introduced a new medium for Niko to communicate his feelings with us, by
Niko started Kindergarten this year, and he has been learning a lot in the academic field which is awesome, but he’s also been learning a ton about life - and that’s been hard. Between the long days, teasing and figuring out what to do in these
Niko has a famous penpal - the BFG. The BFG stands for Big Friendly Giant, and he is the central character in the Rold Dahl book of the same name. In the book, the BFG delivers dreams to children every night. After reading the book together, Ni
It is actually a very common experience for dad’s not to feel as bonded to their babies as they think they should be or want to be. Most dads going through this, often feel like there’s something wrong with them, but that’s not true. This episo
I’ve been throwing this idea around for a while in my practice, and it has finally come to be! In my work at CAP Wellness Centre I noticed a lot of our specialized postnatal groups became general support groups for moms, and noticed a gap for d
Niko received an early birthday gift - a book called What Should Danny Do? It is so great for kids and for parents. It’s a choose your own adventure book focused on honing his superpower which is “the power to choose”. It’s a great way for kids
Wednesday's are Dad and Niko days, which Niko and I have affectionately named Adventure Days. THIS Wednesday, Niko has joined me as co-host for a little Q&A. Do you have adventure days with your kids? Links to check out: Sign up for updates: ww
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
After dropping Niko off at his moms, it struck me how different my house is when Niko is in it, and when he’s not. Physically speaking, his toys, crafting supplies and general kid “mess” brings so much color into my home, and it dawned on me ho
I was 41 when Niko was born, and that made me a little hesitant to have more kids. Because Niko is an only child, his mother and I are often asked why Niko doesn’t have “another sibling to play with?” It’s a common question for parents of only
Niko has really been into putting on skits lately, and recently I was invited to his Super Famous Garbage Truck Show at his mom’s house. At the last second, Niko decided he was too nervous to go on. This gave me a great opportunity to pass on a
This morning, Niko left for a two-week trip with his mom. This is the longest I’ve ever been away from him, and the first trip he’s taken since his mom and I have separated. I’ve got some mixed feelings (and mixed feelings about having mixed fe
