Stop "Fixing" Your Family. Do This Instead.
Stop "fixing" people when they are upset. Here is the 3-part fatherhood framework to build trust, respect, and emotional safety in any relationship—without losing your authority.
In this episode, Michael DeSanti breaks down the "Connect Before You Correct" protocol. Most men fail in relationships because they try to solve emotional problems with logic and correction. We specifically cover the "Needs vs. Wants" distinction, why you should never interrupt a happy child (or partner) with your own worldview, and how to distinguish between acceptable emotions vs. unacceptable behaviors. This is a guide to moving from a "Fixer" to a "Leader" in your home.
