Every parent wants a closer relationship with their kids — but it doesn’t happen by accident. In this episode of The Growing Father Podcast, I share the 5 things I do with my own children that have completely transformed the way we connect.

I’m not a psychologist. I’m not an “expert.” I’m just a dad learning (and messing up) like everyone else. But these 5 principles — laughing together, being active, keeping my word, apologizing when I’m wrong, and balancing high expectations with grace — have changed the culture in our home.

If you’ve ever wondered how to move past surface-level parenting and build a relationship your kids want to be part of, this episode is for you. You’ll hear real stories, honest lessons, and practical tools you can try today.
