Fathers Fire

123 - Taking a Child Centered Approach to Being a dad - Nikko Sadlowski - Part 2

Listen Later

This week Nikko Sadlowski joins me to talk more about his work with families who are facing the reality of having a child with autism and families who are struggling just to connect with each other. We also explore the power of taking a child-centered approach to parenting.

  • The saddest part of his journey losing his friends because they were tired of him always talking about autism
  • The difficulty of finding empathy and understanding for families who have special needs children
  • Working with different men and trying to figure out how to connect in a way that helps them grow
  • Helping fathers who say “I want to be a good father but I didn’t have a good role model”
  • Parenting each kid differently and discovering who I am as a dad
  • Taking a child-centered approach to being a dad
  • Letting your children guide you to discover their interest and gifts
  • You don’t have to parent the way I do, or Nikko, find your parenting style as you listen to others
  • Recognize what you are really good at and lean into those strengths. Lean on your spouse or friend who has the gift you don’t
