EPISODE 16: Hey guys, Jason here!This week we are doing something a little different because I don't have my partner in crime, Dayna, with me. (Because she’s doing some amazing work with Village Impact in Kenya - check additional resources for more details.)Originally, we were going to dive into the fascinating world of sensory processing. But I’m not exactly the expert on the topic… I mean, Dayna has written an entire book on the subject.So instead, this week, we're going to tackle a topic that's close to my heart: how us dads can figure out our role in modern parenting.Because parenting has shifted dramatically in the last few decades, we often do not have good examples or role models in this style of parenting, leaving us lost and unsure of if we are doing it right. I believe there are three important layers we need to explore.The need to go it aloneThe need to have answers and fixThe need to get it rightBy exploring these layers we see how community can bring a profound impact on our lives as dads.So, if you've ever wondered how you can navigate the maze of modern parenting and find your place in it, this episode is for you. Join me as I share my thoughts, experiences, and a few laughs along the way.Tune in, and let's embark on this adventure of fatherhood because together, we can uncover the secrets to being the best dads we can be.Let's dive in!Key Takeaways:Intro (00:00)A little different episode (01:16)The importance of community-based parenting (03:18)The importance of listening (08:16)The need to get everything right (10:58)Connecting with Eli - Jason’s story (16:17)When the transformation began - Jason’s ticket to freedom (28:43)Jason’s challenge for dads (33:57)Additional resources:?
