Episode 191: Back to School Blues & The Great Sidewalk Debate: A Dad’s Guide to the Returning your Children to School. 

School’s in session, and so is a whole new set of challenges for dads everywhere! In this episode of the Top Dad Podcast, we’re diving into how to mentally prepare for the big back-to-school shift in family dynamics. From the chaos of getting everyone out the door on time to finding peace amidst the new routines, we’ve got the tips you need to keep your sanity intact as the school bell rings.

But wait, there’s more! We also stumble into a small but heated debate about what to call that mysterious strip of land between the street and the sidewalk. Is it a berm? A verge? A hellstrip? Spoiler: we couldn’t agree, so we deleted the best parts of the argument, but you’ll still get a taste of our classic dad banter without the My Dad can Beat up your dAd parts...

Show Notes:

  • Mental preparation tips for the back-to-school transition—because dad needs to be in top form!
  • Strategies for managing new routines without losing your cool.
  • The importance of communication and setting expectations with the whole family.
  • The Great Sidewalk Debate: What is that patch of grass called, anyway? (And does it really matter?)
  • Our usual blend of dad wisdom, jokes, and a bit of friendly ribbing.

Tune in for a mix of practical advice and classic Top Dad humor as we navigate the back-to-school season and try (and fail) to agree on the little things. Don’t forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with your fellow dads who are gearing up for the school year!
