72 Get Inside Your Kid's World to Connect - An Interview with Damon Rich

Listen Later

This week I corner Damon Rich. This week we explore his experiences as a father. We also delve into how he broke the cycle of not having a dad who was present and then being blessed with a phenomenal stepdad who set a new example and inspired him to be a great dad.

Show highlights:

  • The danger of measuring yourself against other dads
  • The importance of being truly present with your kids
  • Softening our rough and tough demeanor to connect with our kids
  • The importance of going into your kid’s world and creating a connection
  • Recognizing each child is different so you need to parent differently
  • Giving your kids space until they are in a good place to discuss problems
  • You can’t spank your kids for everything. You need to learn to teach more than discipline
  • Teaching your kids to think through consequences
  • Allow kids the opportunity to think through challenges and allow them to make the choice
  • The power of having your kids write an essay as part of the discipline
  • Your true legacy is what you do with your children
  • How he broke the cycle of not having a dad
