For most dads, when our first child is born, a switch flips inside our brains which alerts us that we're now responsible for protecting another human... and we'll go to extremes to fulfill that responsibility. But how do we protect our kids from an intangible, invisible threat that upends our daily routines and challenges our stability? Kevin Sturtevant shares the story of his six-year-old son Sam's high risk infancy and dangerous vulnerability to viruses like Covid-19, and what his family is doing to stay safe during an uncertain time.Episode 13 finds Adam in self-isolation, recording at a makeshift work station in his daughters' basement playroom. At two weeks in, social distancing and isolation is starting to become the "new normal", and Modern Dadhood will adapt. Adam chats with childhood friend Kevin Sturtevant, a father of two, from Kevin's family's home in rural Maine. Kevin, his wife Moe, and the kids have wisely vacated their apartment in Portland to isolate and spend time in nature in an effort to keep immunocompromised Sam shielded from the Coronavirus. We discuss topics including:• Being a stay-at-home dad for several years• Vaccination awareness• Having your own identity outside of "dad"• The feeling of helplessness in protecting your kid from an infections disease• How to explain Coronavirus to your child• Modeling strength, stability, and honesty• Finding the positives and becoming better parents during a pandemic From the recent Modern Dadhood archives, the boys discuss the irrational "NO!" in another installment of "So That's a Thing Now!" Not to fret, Marc's now setup with a mic at home and Squadcast will enable the dads to return to their typical asinine banter.Links:Boston Children's Hospital: Saving SamRed Vault AudioCaspar BabypantsSpencer AlbeeBubby Lewis
