Dad Tired

When you have a purpose and a plan, technology can be a tool to bring your family closer together.

As you decide what's healthy for your family and articulate a clear media game plan moving forward, your family will thrive within the boundaries you set. In this interview, Arlene Pellicane will share examples of boundaries, help steer you towards what might work best for your family, discuss how to share those boundaries with your kids, and what to do if your kids fight back.

3. Who is holding you to that goal?

In today's episode, host Jerrad Lopes will cover these in more depth, as you listen and work to become the husband and father you are called to be.
