Welcome to this episode of Friday Reflections by Dad.Work!Every Friday I share the best of what we have been doing in the Dad.Work community, to provide perspective, new ideas, and motivation for you to continue on your journey to becoming the best man, partner, and father you can be.In this episode, I discuss my top seven suggestions for all dads, including myself, who want to spend more time with their families this weekend. Family is everything, and making time for them shows your partner and children that you care about them and value them.We go deep talking about:Putting your phone away and using that time to spend with your spouse and childrenScheduling specific uninterrupted one-on-one time with your family to improve your connection with themLearning to give gatitude with your family over meals or any other activity you do togetherRather than reacting defensively, emphasize and validate your triggers this weekend, and share what's real with your family.Going out as a family and connecting with nature to bring reality into focus.Making time for yourself and practicing self-carePlanning the bare minimum for next week based on how everything went this weekend.Mentioned on this episode:Getting to ZeroNonviolent CommunicationThe Art of CommunicatingJoin the waitlist for the next 8-week Dad.Work Men's Group for Fathers: https://dad.work/mens-group/---Welcome to the Dad.Work Podcast!It's my goal every episode to help dads suffer less, love more, and parent confidently.We'll be diving into mindfulness practices, healing trauma, conscious parenting, natural living, compassionate communication, the spiritual aspect of fatherhood, and more.There are a lot of amazing teachers and guides who help men become more aware and conscious, but there's not a lot of resources for men who are both fathers and interested in a mindful exploration of consciousness and improvement.This podcast aims to help bridge that gap.Resources, Links, Show Notes:https://dad.work/pod/Get our Free 14-Day Better Man, Better Dad Email Series:https://dad.work/email/Join one of our Men’s Groups for Dads and be seen, heard, supported, and challenged by a group of other fathers who have your back unconditionally:https://dad.work/group
