In this conversation, Phil and Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg discuss the concept of Lighthouse Parenting, a metaphor that emphasizes the importance of being a stable and guiding presence in a child's life. Dr. Ginsburg explains how this approach balances love and protection while allowing children to take healthy risks. They explore the role of adults in modeling behavior, the impact of stress and anxiety on children, and the challenges posed by technology and social media. The discussion highlights the need for emotional vulnerability in adults and the importance of fostering interdependence in future generations.   Lighthouse Parenting is about balancing love and protection. Role modeling is crucial for children to take healthy risks. Children need stable relationships to thrive emotionally. Stress is a significant factor in unhealthy risk-taking. Preparation is a form of protection for children. Overprotection can lead to anxiety in children. Social media has both positive and negative impacts on youth. Emotional vulnerability in adults fosters connection with children. Teaching basic human connection is essential before introducing technology. Interdependence is key to raising secure and confident children.

Your extraordinary marriage starts here: www.thedadedge.com/25questions Let me ask you something—when was the last time you truly looked in the mirror and faced the truth about your life? Not the highlight reel you post online, but the cracks, the pressure, and the pain you're stuffing down just to keep moving. If you're like most men, you're stretched thin—busy as hell, managing work, kids, marriage, and the unrelenting chaos of life. But here's the kicker: that busyness? It's a silent killer. It destroys connection, patience, and peace in ways you don't even see until the damage is done.   Today, in this week's Friday Fatherly Fumbles, First Downs, and Field Goals, I'm not here to sugarcoat anything. I'm going to share a story—a raw, unfiltered account of how my own life hit a breaking point. A season of overwhelm left me yelling at my kids, disconnected from my wife, and questioning if I even deserve to do this work. If you've ever felt guilt, shame, or the weight of trying to be everything to everyone, this episode is for you. Because let's face it, if we don't course-correct, it's not just us who suffer; it's the people we love most. www.thedadedge.com/friday193 www.thedadedge.com/alliance www.thedadedge.com/squire www.thedadedge.com/25questions www.thedadedge.com/daddydaughter www.themensforge.com www.thedadedge.com/patience

Your extraordinary marriage starts here: www.thedadedge.com/25questions Today, in this week's Friday Fatherly Fumbles, First Downs, and Field Goals, Larry Hagner tackles the crucial question every father faces: how to be the person your children turn to first with bad news. Through his unique two-part approach of "marathon and sprint," he explains how our reactions to our children's vulnerable moments become the deciding factor in whether they'll trust us with future challenges. The discussion focuses on transforming those critical moments when children share mistakes or difficulties, demonstrating how to shift from being a punitive figure to a trusted confidant. Larry shares practical strategies for responding to everything from poor grades to serious mistakes, emphasizing that our children's willingness to be open with us in the future is shaped by how we handle their vulnerability today. Through personal stories and actionable advice, he shows how fathers can create an environment where children feel safe sharing anything, ultimately building stronger, more trusting parent-child relationships. www.thedadedge.com/friday190 www.thedadedge.com/alliance www.thedadedge.com/squire www.themensforge.com www.thedadedge.com/daddydaughter  

Reignite your marriage: www.thedadedge.com/extraordinary-marriage Today, I have the privilege of sitting down with Scott Zemens who epitomizes the power of personal transformation within family life and fatherhood. He's a dedicated business owner who, not long ago, found himself struggling to find balance in his life—feeling distant from his family and yearning for deeper connections with his kids. When he joined the Dad Edge Alliance, he made a bold commitment to step up, starting with daily, meaningful conversations with his children—asking open-ended questions to truly understand their world. On top of that, he made a life-changing decision to give up alcohol for a year, a move that radically reshaped his mindset, relationships, and energy as a father. The results have been extraordinary. His wife has expressed how much she loves the father he's become, especially his leadership in the home after the arrival of their baby last October. His kids now have a dad who listens more, talks less, and focuses on creating memories that will last a lifetime. Today, we'll dive into his journey—what inspired these changes, the lessons he's learned, and the advice he'd give to his pre-Alliance self about stepping into the kind of father, husband, and leader his family deserves. This special "WINSday" edition is all about celebrating our members' successes and sharing the valuable lessons they've learned on their journey to becoming better dads. Sit back, tune in, and get ready to be motivated by the remarkable guests of the Dad Edge community. www.thedadedge.com/alliance
