How to Become a Patient Father in 37 Minutes The Dad Edge Podcast

    • Kids & Family

Today we talk about how to become a patient father.
The Dad Edge started on one of the worst nights of my life as a dad. I lost my patience and did something I regret to this day.
I didn’t grow up with my dad in the picture, and the men in my life were not good father figures to me. I was raised in an uncertain, sometimes abusive, alcohol-ridden household. When I became a parent, I didn’t have a clue. All I knew is what I didn’t want to do, but that wasn’t enough.
Losing our temper does not mean that we are bad, hopeless people. We are only lacking the skills to talk ourselves down so that we can respond instead of reacting to the daily challenges of fatherhood.
In this show, I give you a toolbox of strategies that you can use to understand the triggers, notice the signs, and disarm the bomb before it goes off.
