Being a dad isn’t about engineering your kids’ every move—it’s about shepherding them through life’s adventures.
In this episode of New Dad Gaming, Trevor and Jeff dive into Dr. Russell Barkley’s powerful advice on parenting: guiding your kids like a shepherd instead of trying to engineer who they’ll become.
The dads also share:
🎮 How their kids traded dreams of a PS5 for… a metal detector (and then found the Roblox version of it!).
🍺 Trevor’s wife surprising him with a “Game Theory” IPA—perfect for their Summer of Beers theme.
🪵 Jeff gifting a stunning custom wood-carved podcast logo from Ankor Valley to celebrate 10 years of New Dad Gaming.
🚀 Trevor’s plan to join the epic Elite Dangerous “Distant Worlds” event this January.
💸 Teaching kids financial responsibility when gaming budgets clash with hobbies like One Piece card tournaments.
As always, it’s a mix of parenting lessons, gaming laughs, and the realities of dad life. Because just because you became a dad… doesn’t mean it’s game over.
