    Entry #14 - Why Yelling Doesn't Work (and What Does) - Simone Davies

    Think about the last time you were truly angry. Maybe it was a heated argument with a friend or a frustrating interaction at work. In those moments, could you easily articulate your feelings and propose solutions? Most likely not.
    My guest this week is the wonderful ⁠Simone Davies. ⁠Simone Davies is a Montessori expert and advocate for gentle parenting. With over 15 years of experience in early childhood education, Simone is passionate about helping parents raise happy, confident, and capable children.

    Entry #13 - How Wonderful This All Is - Dolores Murgolo

    Entry #13 - How Wonderful This All Is - Dolores Murgolo

    After a bit of time off, we’re back and we’re starting with a refresher on why being a stay-at-home father has been the biggest gift I’ve ever received and what I am doing to change the narrative around fatherhood for the better.
    We also sit down to chat with the first guest on this show. Some people call her teacher, others call her director, and many little kids call her Mrs. Dolores. As for me, I’ve spent 43 years calling her mom.

    Entry #12 - Let's Pause and Be Grateful

    As we approach the end of the year, it's time to kick back, reflect, and bask in the warm glow of gratitude. 
    This will be the last episode for the year and then I’m going to take a much-needed break. When I return, I’ll be coming back with a brand new take on sharing support for parents and I cannot wait to bring it to your ears.
    Until then, today, we're diving into the heart of the matter - being thankful as a parent.

    Entry #11 - Why We Shouldn't Cancel the Big Guy in Red

    Ho, ho, ho, and welcome back to another festive episode of Dad’s Cry Too! This week we're diving into a hot topic that's been circulating in the holiday air lately – the controversial idea of canceling Santa Claus. 
    Yes, you heard it right! But before you grab your pitchforks and candy canes, let's unwrap this debate and see why some folks are saying we should give the big guy in red a break.
