Dynasty of Dads

Have you ever used the phrase “Make me Proud?” In this episode, we shed some light on how and why saying “Make me Proud” could be more hurtful than it is encouraging. How should we support our kids and show them we are always proud of them, it is not something they have to "earn" from us. Has anyone ever told you to make them proud? Share with us when someone has told you this and how it affected you as you walked out on “that stage” by emailing us at DynastyofDads@gmail.com or text 845.320.3023.

Feeling out of sorts? Dads, we know the feeling. Caring for your mental health is vital. As a parent, it is hard finding time for ourselves. We have limited time and energy — resources that have only shrunk since the pandemic started. It is important to know, we all have our own forms of struggles. One of the toughest struggles people face is with their own Mental Health. May is Mental Health Awareness month so Bearded_Brian and ZacktheGirlDad want to help bring that awareness to the Dynasty of Dads Community. Bearded_Brian and ZacktheGirlDad want everyone who struggles with any form of Mental Health to know they are not alone. People can experience these struggles at any point of their lifetime.

What role does watching sports play in your household? Do you watch sports with your kids? Let's take a break from parenting advice and take some time to talk dad personal hobbies or interests when not taking care of our kids. In this new segment, Dad's Unwind, we explore the things us dads like to do in our freetime. Tonight, let's talk football. Some of my fondest memories growing up was watching football with my dad. Did you watch a lot of sports in your family growing up?  The NFL Draft just happened. That means pre-season will be here before we know it. What role does watching sports play in your household? Do you watch sports with your kids?    Bearded_Brian and ZacktheGirlDad both hope their favorite teams will be able to redeem themselves this year. That's why we are welcoming our guest Katie Brinkley, host of Across the Pond's NFL Podcast, to discuss football and the role of watching sports in our families. Which NFL team is the team to beat?

Let's be honest…doing chores or trying to get your kids to clean is the pits! If you find yourself at your wits' end with cleaning up mess after mess after mess with your kids, try one of these fun games to make cleaning up less of a chore. On this Dynasty of Dads podcast episode, we want to discuss ways to get our kids (and us parents) more involved, and have fun while doing so. Giving kids household chores is a great way to teach them responsibility while also keeping your home clean and organized. The only problem is that it can be tough to motivate the children to perform their chores on a regular basis. If you are struggling to convince your kids to do their assignments, then you need to make it fun and exciting for them. Whether you use Chore Competition Charts, make it a race, sing or dance while doing so, any strategy is helpful to make household responsibilities more fun. Maintaining a clean house is often quite difficult when you have children, but that does not have to be the case. Just get the kids interested in the chores by turning them into games. If they are having fun, then they will not even realize they are cleaning and organizing the house. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dynastyofdads/message

Some men have this self-generated pressure to be a better provider to their family. Why do men do this? In many ways this is cultivated in us as boys very early on. We have seen our fathers take on this role, or constantly see it on TV or in movies. One of the hardest things to balance as a parent is spending as much time as you can with your kids, while spending as much time as you need to provide for them financially. Sometimes personal pressures don't come from anyone else but ourselves. However, it does not mean those pressures are any less difficult to manage. My guest tonight says when you've been accustomed to accepting an identity that has been handed to you; you become stuck. Let's tear out your tags, overcome what's holding you back, live emboldened within yourself, and embolden others along the way. Bee is the host of the Tear Out The Tags podcast, where you learn to remove the labels that are holding you back. Your life is increasingly defined by simple words that are meant to categorize you. These words are turned into hashtags, making you feel stuck with a limited definition of what you can be in this world. Tags, though helpful online, are ineffective at fully describing how big and extraordinary you are. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dynastyofdads/message

Welcome, once again, to the Dynasty of Dads weekly podcast. Tonight's episode is titled Story Time! During storytime, children are picking up on how to interact with books based on how they see adults using them. Holding the book right side up, starting at the front of the book and following words along left to right are all skills that are being taught when reading a book to your child. Reading stories introduces your child to new words they can use to help describe the world around them, it expands their vocabulary as well as shows different experiences in the world. We all know it's important, but tonight, we will discuss how to make it an even better experience with our kids. Sit back, relax, and let become better parents together.
