Dad life in modern times may leave many parents feeling overwhelmed as traditional parent roles have changed and we are left trying to navigate these in a way we’ve never known. In this episode I chat with mentor Luke McLean about how we can better support the father figure in your household.
Luke shares:
+ Why the traditional role of ’the dad’ is still as important as ever
+ How children mimic what they see and how the behaviours of parents are reflected in our children
+ How less contact with parents is the reality due to the nature of working parents and what we can do to cultivate connection regardless
+ Why planning times of connection is key
+ How we can be aware of the ‘3 Ds’ (Distracted, Disconnected and Discontentment) to be more reflective and more present as a parent
+ Why rituals are so important to help us connect
+ How to have conversations with our partners that spark curiosity and solutions
+ What the biggest blocks may be for men and how we can support men to ask for help early and be less explosive in times of stress and overwhelm
+ How we can change generational behaviours
+ Setting up your evening before you walk into the door to create connection and calm
+ Awareness of how parents talk to each other and the roles they play
