Hiding in the Garage

This week we are back with more potty training tips for you guys. But this episode is different because we are going to talk about what worked for us rather than what the experts say you should do. So hopefully this helps you guys out there.

This week we are finally talking about potty training because our boys are getting to the point where they are POTTY TRAINED! We talk about a couple of methods for you guys to look into for yourself and we go over what works for us. So enjoy!

We're back, finally. Sorry we ended up taking time off, we didn't plan it but life gets in the way sometimes. We're back this week though with another free talk episode and boy, do we ramble on in this one. We do give some valuable updates on the kids and on our own lives, but towards the end we ramble haha. I hope you guys enjoy it, I myself found it pretty funny. Shout out to our producer Michael for making me stepping away for a min more listener-friendly. Enjoy the show, and as always go to iTunes and leave us a 5 star review and a comment, it will help other people find the show.

First and foremost I want to apologize for the audio on this episode, we recorded in person for the first time and it was a bit rocky. But nonetheless, this episode we sit down with a friend and avid listener of the show, Melanie. And she goes through the process of her co parenting with her daughter. So if you are coparenting or are about to start coparenting, this would be a good episode to listen to. As always, be sure to leave us a 5 star review on iTunes, it really helps us out. Enjoy!

Hello everyone, we are back this week with an episode talking about Chores. We will talk about what chores are appropriate for what age group and we will also talk about how to get your child to do the chores that they don't want to do. As always, if you enjoy the show, go to Apple Podcasts and leave us a 5-star review!

We know we're late with this episode, but nevertheless, here it is. This week we are talking about connecting with your children. We focus more on connecting with your newborn. There are plenty of dads who don't feel a connection with their baby when they're born and we're going to address how that is completely normal and pretty common. We'll also talk about connecting with your older children. And as always, we'll have our Dad Brag segment. Be sure to go leave us a 5 star review on iTunes if you enjoy the show!

This week Austin and I are talking about food and how your child can have a healthy relationship with it. We go over some methods that can help you out if your child isn't eating and how you yourself can be better in the pursuit to get them to eat. We also have quite a few laughs on this one, so sit back and enjoy! As always, be sure to go leave us a 5 star review on iTunes!

This week we are doing what we called a free talk episode where we sort of just chit chat and record it. But we stay on the topic of fatherhood by talking about what we think it is to be a dad, things we do, things we would never do and things of that nature. Be warned, we do get a little venerable this episode so you're going to learn a bit about us this week! As always, be sure to go leave us a 5 star review on iTunes.

This week is a Corey episode because Austin's experience with schedules isn't much other than a nightly routine for Salem. But having JJ on a full on daily schedule has given me a ton to talk about this week. We are going to tell you what a schedule can look like, the pros and cons of a schedule and of course, my daily schedule with JJ in case you want to know the best time to call me and wake him up. Be sure to go leave us a 5 start and a glowing review on iTunes if you enjoy the show and the content we put out.

We are lucky enough to have a guest this week who has some insight on dealing with a developmentally delayed child. Ryan's son Joey has been diagnosed with autism and Ryan took some time to tell us how he and his wife have handled that along with their three other children. He answers plenty of questions from Austin and I and gives some really good insight to parents and future parents of developmentally delayed children. Be sure to go leave us a 5 star review on iTunes!

This week Austin and I are telling you about bed sharing, or co sleeping as I incorrectly call it in the episode. We are going to tell you what it is, our own experience with it, some pros and cons of bed sharing and finally if you are bed sharing, like we are, how to break your child from it. 

So we accidentally went on a political tangent on this episode, so if you don't want to hear about that, go ahead and skip ahead. But we will tell you a story about a friend of mine and what she went through dealing with her mother-in-law, we will tell a couple of our own stories about boundaries we had to set and still do set, and finally we will talk about how our dads were never there for us. Enjoy! 

Welcome to Hiding in the Garage, a dad podcast for dads. My friend Austin and I had this idea one day on a playdate with our boys and this is our debut episode. This week we are talking about the pros and cons of letting your child use an iPad or a tablet. Now don't get us confused, we are not experts in child development or anything like that. We are just two dads talking about our experiences and what has worked for us.
