In this episode, I show you a fathering approach backed by 60 years of psychology research that teaches respect without fear. I explain why the old authoritarian model fails, how fear-based discipline damages confidence and emotional health, and what it really means to be a strong, connected leader in your family. You'll learn how your physical presence, tone, and reactions shape your child's nervous system, and I'll teach you a powerful teaching strategy—try again—that corrects behavior while preserving connection.
This episode will help you break generational cycles, parent with calm authority, and become the kind of father your kids trust, respect, and want a relationship with for life.
