Great Dad Talks

In this interview, Dr. Cornelius Grove tells some hard truths about how and why American kids are falling behind competitive countries in Asia. Without making a value judgement about whether this success is good or bad, Dr. Grove explains why it is important to understand how values drive the learning experience in Asia. Parents can use this information to better understand how values drive their own kids' learning and skills acquisition.

In this interview, I talk to Carew Papritz about what it means to be a father today. Carew Papritz is a literacy advocate, educational thought leader, and author of the multi-award-winning book, The Legacy Letters.

In his award-winning book, The Legacy Letters, Papritz writes about the importance of bearing the weight of the responsibility of being a father. “Becoming a man means doing the right thing even though it may be hard or difficult,” he says. “Boys do what is easiest. A man does what is right, whether easy or not.” This timeless sentiment is especially poignant for fathers and sons alike this Father’s Day.

In this interview, I talk to Adam Jablin a life coach and recovery expert about the effect of the Covid pandemic on teens and how we as parents can help.

I guarantee you'll be inspired by this conversation with Derek Cain and Daniel Mose, both recruiters for foster families. They both work with SAFY (Specialized Alternatives for Families and Youth) and Derek is a foster father himself. They explain how foster care works and the real need for families to step in and help kids during transition periods. We also cover who can be a foster parent, including young families, single people and empty nesters.

SAFY is a child and family nonprofit preserving families and securing futures services that help families and children heal, have hope, and thrive through a model of care that includes therapeutic foster care, adoption, family preservation, behavioral health and supports for older youth. SAFY currently serves youth and families in Alabama, Colorado, Indiana, Kentucky, Nevada, Ohio and South Carolina.

America is flunking math. The U.S. ranks towards the bottom of all developed countries in mathematical achievement. In fact, our education system can't even develop our own STEM/tech workforce, with the majority of U.S. tech workers filled by virtual international sources.

I talk with Richard Ruscyk the CEO of Art of Problem Solving (https://artofproblemsolving.com/), a site with online tools to help kids get involved. The Art of Problem Solving works closely with Kahn Academy which has used their tools.

He points out that we don't do a good job of finding and developing kids who have an interest in math. We discuss the "digital divide" as well as the differences between boys and girls.

I talk to Sean Clifford, CEO of Canopy, a parental control app with a mission to protect families from porn and sexting about the struggles dads face in digital parenting.

Sean Clifford, a father of four and the CEO of Canopy, has the insights and anecdotes on digital parenting that audiences love. In this talk, we cover:
* Why dads need to have a version of "The Talk' as early as age four or five
* How the introduction of the smartphone has changed everything about teenage life, sex, and dating
* How kids, teens and even adults are not biologically prepared to handle online porn, sexting, or even TikTok
* The key parenting discipline to help lessen problems before they happen
