Also, it improves emotional regulation, builds social behavior, increases resilience, and helps process fear and stress. This kind of play also builds confidence and body awareness, teaching them self-control rather than aggression. And it’s just fun.

Dads, play ROUGH! When boys roughhouse with their Dad, they feel connected, secure, and seen. It gives them a safe outlet for energy and emotions, while also showing them that strength and gentleness can exist together.

If you want your kids childhood to end, give them social media.

And I feel that it’s such a terrible thing to think about, wether it’s human trafficking for forced labor/slavery or sex trafficking, I really don’t think it get’s any attention because people don’t want to think about it.

It’s not something you see. It’s definitely not something you think about. But it is 100% real and happens everywhere, and at all times. And don’t think it doesn’t happen here in the United States, because it certainly does.

Silence allows these crimes to continue unnoticed. I don’t think I ever thought about this until I had kids. And the idea of one of my kids being taken or going through something like this, will make any Father uncomfortable and angry, and that’s probably an understatement.

January is human trafficking awareness month. #stophumantrafficking

I can’t help myself from doing these fun things for the kids. I just hope this video makes you smile. If you want help doing this at home, just ask! Dads, have some fun with your kids today!

Frozen noodles!

what to do. Also, remember whatever is bothering them, is a BIG deal to them. Even if it doesn’t seem like it to us. They just need help, no matter how small it is. Dads and Moms, let’s try to be more calm today.

I know. So, this is my reminder, and hopefully it helps you as well, that our kids need us to show them how to calm down. If we get angry when they are angry, that shows them how to get angry. I know they can push our buttons, but we have to try our best to show them

Have you ever been told to calm down? Does it work? I can tell you from my personal experience, it NEVER works. Kids are no different than us, however, they are still learning how to control their emotions, and need much more patience and guidance from us. Patience is tough,

Calm down!!!

Kids don’t want more presents, they want your presence.

Capture their faces, not the fireworks. They won’t be this little next year.

It’s this simple… if you want calm kids… be calm. If you want…

You don’t need it.

Time spent with loved ones is what matters most.

Merry Christmas everyone! 😊

As Christmas time approaches, remember, the best gift you can give is you and your time.
