Jerry and Emma square off in a father-daughter Seven Seconds Challenge for her YouTube Channel, BeautyXOXODance. Who will win? Listen and find out, or watch the video in the show notes of our previous episode, http://therealjerrydugan.com/077The Seven Seconds Challenge is a game where two people challenge each other to feats that have to be accomplished within seven seconds. The person with the most points wins. Challenges need to be difficult, and at the same time not impossible. For example, do ten push ups in seven seconds is reasonable. Doing 50 push ups in seven seconds is not. Give it a try at your next family game night, or when you're just bored of channel surfing.Music attribution: Oceans Apart by Scott Holmes.

Emma has returned after a nearly 3-month hiatus from the Family Time Q&A Podcast. After a short catch up, we dive right into the following:Emma's question to Jerry - What do you want your legacy to be?Jerry's question to Emma - How would you respond if you found out that someone you know from school sent or posted a sexting image(s)?Sadly, I learned during my work experience with a rape crisis center that teen sexting happens a lot more often than we'd like to imagine. A lot of focus is placed on the girls sending these images, and little focus on the boys who ask for and pressure for those images, hold those images over the girl to pressure her into staying in a relationship or even having sex, and then there is the revenge after a break up when those images are sent on to friends and teammates. Cyberbullying comes into the picture as bystanders learn about the image, help spread the image, and go on to shame the person in the image. My hope in this discussion was in the least to raise awareness to the issue with Emma, and also talk about extending grace to those who make the mistake of sexting.See the show notes here.

I want to again wish Olivia a happy birthday. It has been a great honor to celebrate this milestone with you for the past thirteen years, and I look forward to celebrating many more in the decades to come. This is Episode 44 of Family Time Q&A and Olivia and I talk about her 35th birthday and how I am handling approaching middle age. My 39th birthday is coming up in February. It’s a good life, but I am amazed at how quickly it has been going by. I already have a teenage son, and a preteen daughter, but I feel like I just left for the Army in my early-twenties! What the heck? When did that happen?SHOW NOTES

We kicked off 2015 production the same way we kicked off 2014, with Emma as the guest on the show. Emma and I discuss who are our favorite characters from the show The Walking Dead. She finally watched a marathon with Olivia during the winter break from school. Emma must have been bored because she’s never really shown an interest in watching TWD with the rest of us.We also take a moment to talk about setting a goal for 2015, and the necessary daily habits to accomplish that goal.View the show notes here.

This show has come a long way since we started 12 months ago. My goal was to have a candid family podcast where we could ask each other questions that would get real responses. What I discovered was that my family isn’t in a place where we could tackle deep questions on air, but they do love sharing about themselves when we talk about lighter things.Show Notes

There was a timing glitch on my part in getting Episode 42 online in time for the end of 2014, but I wanted to take a moment to thank you for listening and share some of the ideas I have on tap for 2015 and Family Time Q&A.View the show notes here for this message.

While fighting off colds, coughs, and just feeling exhausted, we take some time to appreciate Christmas, The Nutcracker Ballet, and family time.

Jacob and I have a father-son discussion on unhealthy, controlling relationships. It’s a conversation I’ve wanted to have with him for many months, but never worked into a recording yet. Listen to Episode 40 to listen how I get the discussion going on unhealthy relationships.See the full show notes here.

So, I get to share my Christmas memories of Olivia sharing her Christmas memories with our children. For example, Olivia has her childhood ornaments for the tree, and I love watching her unpack them and share the stories behind each ornament with the kids. Emma shares with me her joy of seeing where our Elf on the Shelf winds up in December.I also take a gamble and ask Emma if there has been anything I did that has hurt or embarrassed her, and if there is anything I could have done differently. While I could have thought of plenty of moments, she was very forgiving.See the full show notes here.

I’m back! Olivia and I just celebrated 13 years of marriage and we share with you some of the things we cherish most from those years as well as what we look forward in the years to come. New baby? We keep talking about it. I certainly wouldn't mind trying to make another one. Yes, I just went there. We also just watched the Season 5 mid-season finale for The Walking Dead. Yikes! Visit the aStore and see resources for men on marriage, fatherhood, and masculinity.
