This question was inspired by one of the top-3 All Pro Dad blog posts of all time. Dads really want to know how to connect with their boys. Ted Lowe, Mark Merrill, Bobby Lewis, and BJ Foster talk about their relationship with their sons.  The types of needs we are talking about on today’s episode are not basic needs like food, shelter, and clothing. We are talking about the 7 things a son needs relationally from his dad.   What are the 7 things?1. He needs you to love his mother.2. He needs to see you fail, not just succeed.3. He needs your servant leadership.4. He needs you to be present.5. He needs you to discipline him in love.6. He needs your love regardless of his choices.7. He needs you to affirm him. Bottomline:  Your son needs you.  Today’s Pro Move: Pick one of the seven things on the list and focus on that this week. Put it into practice to start becoming more connected with your son.   Related resources:7 Things A Son Needs From His Father Teaching Your Son How to Become a Man 10 Things Your Son Needs From You EXTRAS: Follow us: Instagram | Facebook | X (Twitter)Join nearly 200,000 other dads by subscribing to the All Pro Dad Play of the Day.
