with their Kids Helping Fathers Grow Extraordinary Relationships
background

Fathers in our community make these experiences:

They notice the relationship with their kids is getting a bit distant and is slipping away, and they are not sure how to get it back.

They go through a divorce or separation, and they are concerned that they grow further apart from their children.

They want to have meaningful communication with their kids but it’s not working, and they get angry first with their kids and then themselves.

SHORT STORY

The struggles I had with my son Alex over ten years ago made me realize that I have to do something different as a father. The changes I made in how I interact with my children made all the difference in our relationship. Here’s what happened.

When my younger child Alex was four years old and started going to pre-school, it was my job to drive him there every morning. After a short while, getting him to leave the house and go to pre-school turned into a daily struggle.

Alex would make a fuss, scream, and cling to furniture. I got angry with Alex almost every morning, and I’m ashamed to admit that yelling became part of the daily routine. At first, I thought Alex didn’t want to go because there was an issue with the pre-school, the teachers or the other kids. It wasn’t, and I couldn’t figure out how to fix it. When I exhausted all options, I finally embarked on a journey of taking parenting classes, and I started to dig deeper into what’s really happening. The discovery I made on that journey about myself as a father and about how I create the relationship with my children changed everything for us.

My children are now 19 and 15. We are now able to talk about everything that matters. They share what happens a College and High School. They tell me the inside scoop about what happens in their romantic lives (and they share more details than I would ever have had the courage to share with my parents). They are open about the encounters with alcohol and drugs – and how they were able to say ‘no’ when it mattered. They share their dreams and frustrations (and I share mine). We are able to deal with conflict. We can negotiate. We have full respect for each other. We all grow and learn. And we love each other.

It all happened because I took the time to discover who I really wanted to be as a father. Good parenting didn’t come natural for me. But I could learn it, and it makes all the difference in our lives. I encourage you – for your sake and for the sake of your kids – to be the best father you can be.

Dr Joe works with father to achieve three core outcomes

Be the best father you can be
Dig deep and discover yourself as a great father. The goal is to have a great relationship with your children. Like with all important goals, the key to achieving it lies in becoming the person we need to be to get to the goal. You’ll be amazed how much you have in you.
Relationship
Have a relationship with your children that is strong, close and abundantly full of love. Imagine a time in the future when your kids are grown adults and living their independent lives. How do you get on a path to get to that future? How do you incorporate what you learned from your parents?
Communication
Never say to yourself again that your kids don’t listen to you (and we’re not kidding when we use the word never). Find the words that change behavior and attitudes. Use your words to build stronger connections and help your kids grow stronger. Find a deeper spirit of encouragement in what you say and what you do.
