At our 2024 Teaching Conference, Dr. John Cuddeback of Christendom College unpacked what boys need from their fathers and teachers in order to grow into the men they truly desire to be.

Recognizing the disorder within our culture is the initial step toward rectifying the missteps, often subtle, within our individual lives. Today we discuss how the world is playing this out on a grand scale which culminates in seeing things and even people simply as a means to our own personal ends. In light of this, Dr. John Cuddeback engages with us to assert that we must first identify and be aware of this limited and disordered mindset to begin to re-order and improve our lives and those around us. However, it is not enough to speak of things in the abstract or philosophical sense, we bring this knowledge into the fabric of our daily lives and offer a number of actionable methods through which we can start living out our best life.

In G. K. Chesterton's Orthodoxy, he tells a sort of parable in which children are given space to play on a mountain top surrounded by steep precipices on all sides. At first the children are left to play on the mountain top without any walls. Fearful of falling off one of the edges, they all huddle up in the middle. Then, walls are erected, and the security that such walls provide gives the children the confidence they need to play without fear of falling.  A father's loving presence can act like such walls in the lives of his children. Yet, at times, the practical realities of life make it difficult for fathers to be fully present in such a way.  This week on HeightsCasts, we feature a talk given by headmaster Alvaro de Vicente on the topic of paternal presence, originally offered at our recent fatherhood conference. Although there are no set manuals for successful parenting, in his talk Mr. de Vicente suggests four areas that fathers can consider as they examine the ways they may or may not be present in their children's lives:  The importance of paternal presence  The obstacles to paternal presence  Professional work  Personal interests  Difficult children The types of presence Physical  Intellectual  Moral  Spiritual  The stages of presence  Holding the hand Holding the back of the bike Holding the second steering wheel Holding the phone In the end, Alvaro encourages fathers to behave as they would wish their sons to behave when they reach their own age. But when they fail, he also reminds them of St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta's words: “God doesn't ask that we succeed in everything, but that we are faithfull.”.   Chapters  0:14 WelcomeStart 2:15 The importance of presence  5:00 Some challenges to being present  11:40 DSuggestions for dealing with those challenges  12:50 Types of presence  13:00 Physical  18:55 Intellectual  27:35 Moral 29:00 Spiritual  33:10 Stages of presence  37:40 Takeaways and concluding thoughts  Also on the Forum  Friendship for Fathers: On Living and Teaching the Art with Prof. John Cuddeback  The Bedrock Principle of Fatherhood with Andy Reed The Father and His Family: On Fatherhood with Michael Moynihan  Parenting from Fear: On Reasons for Confidence with Alvaro de Vicente  Parental Authority: On Our Role with Dr. Leonard Sax

In the past twenty years, research suggests that parents are worrying more about their children and spending more to provide them with comforts. In spite of such worry and wealth, the past twenty years have also seen an increase in these same American-born children from well-to-do families being diagnosed with various psychiatric disorders. Meanwhile, parents tend to swing from overly strict to overly lenient. Balancing love, both tender and tough, is a difficult art.  To help us dive deeper into this parental task, we welcome Dr. Leonard Sax to HeightsCast. In the episode, Dr. Sax discusses his book, The Collapse of Parenting: How We Hurt Our Kids When We Treat Them Like Grown-Ups. Drawing both from the wisdom of the ancients and the insights of modern science, Dr. Sax explains the importance of parental authority in raising children. Besides discussing parenting authority, he also offers thoughts on the importance of culture and schools, urging parents to consider carefully and choose prudently the school to which they will send their children.  As Dr. Sax reminds us, authentic freedom is not mere license, and if children are to be free in the end, they must, at the start, have the right amount of parental guidance. To give too much freedom too soon may end in the very loss of the freedom which one would have hoped to give.  Chapters 0:30 Introduction 2:15 What is parental authority? 11:00 Parental worries  19:05 Some statistics on psychiatric diagnoses in America 21:30 Parents and the transmission of culture 23:35 The middle class myth  27:52 “Elon Musk” schools vs. “Mother Theresa” schools 32:20 Shifts in American culture from 1967-2017  34:40 Approaching difficult grades as a parent 38:25 Too hard, too soft, or just right: should parents negotiate? 45:50 Advice for single parents  49:10 Fake it until you make it 53:45 The importance of intergenerational bonds Recommended Resources  Boys Adrift: The Five Factors Driving the Growing Epidemic of Unmotivated Boys and Underachieving Young Men by Dr. Leonard Sax Why Gender Matters, Second Edition: What Parents and Teachers Need to Know about the Emerging Science of Sex Differences by Dr. Leonard Sax Also on the Forum  Discipline in the Classroom: The Art of Order with Colin Gleason Carpool: Making Commute Time Good Time with Kyle Blackmer Friendship for Fathers: Living and Teaching the Art with Prof. John Cuddeback

It's not merely where you are going, but how you get there, that matters. And as we often find ourselves going places in cars, it is worth stopping to consider how we spend our car rides.  In this week's episode, we welcome back to the podcast Mr. Kyle Blackmer for a discussion of the daily commute. Whether we carpool or ride solo, Mr. Blackmer helps us to reframe how we approach this daily endeavor which can easily become, at best, dead time and, at worst, dreaded time.  Kyle shows us how the car, with the right attitude and a little creativity, can become its own classroom. He encourages us to think about how we can best use this time by praying, engaging in good conversation—at times mere fun, at other times more formative–, listening to good music and books, and celebrating.  Chapters  00:45 Introduction: reframing the daily commute  3:20 How can we make carpooling more fruitful for our sons?  5:43 The car as a classroom: the first and last period of the day 6:22 Four modes of teaching in the Car 6:45 Prayer, especially the Rosary, especially in the morning  9:28 Car as a place for friendship, shared life  10:55 Conversation in cars 16:20 The art of asking good questions and listening  17:15 Tuning into the boys in front of you 19:16 Setting guidelines for your carpool 21:10 Being intentional about what you listen to  25:35 Audiobooks and classic rock 27:50 Celebrating the in little ways 31:20 Finding moments for little points of correction  33:30 Advice for solo commuters  35:50 The last three minutes: preparing for your return home  Recommended Audiobooks for the Road The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart Seabiscuit by Charles Rivers Editors Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame Treasury for Children by James Herriot Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingallas Wilder The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs The Once and Future King by T.H.

In a recent national survey of adults in America, a striking sixty-one percent of young adults (age 18-25) reported feeling serious loneliness. Such feelings of loneliness were also accompanied by anxiety and depression. Although humans are by nature social animals, it would seem that forming deep friendships may not always come so naturally. How do we form friendships? How do we help our sons form friendships? What even is friendship? To help us answer these questions, we welcome to HeightsCast John Cuddeback, professor of philosophy at Christendom College and Life Craft writer and speaker. In this episode, Professor Cuddeback helps us understand what friendship is, how to practice the art of friendship, and how friendship goes hand-in-hand with happiness. As he explains, friendships do not merely happen. Rather, they require intentional cultivation and sustained effort. Indeed, like any art, the art of friendship requires discipline and practice. Specifically, Professor Cuddeback focuses our attention on how a husband can form a deep friendship with his wife and a few male friends, as well as how he can help his children to grow in their own friendships. Being a father first, he may one day become a friend of his adult children.  As Professor Cuddeback explains, true friendship is the only way to overcome loneliness in life. And, in the end, it will be in sharing our lives with friends that we come to find the ultimate meaning of our lives.

(Make sure to watch the full episode on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tT3JqzGkh1M (Youtube)) About our Guest: [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88YeanRMmME] From Dr. John Cuddeback: In my quarter-century as a philosophy professor, I've been exposed to much wisdom. I try to understand it, and I want to share what I have found. Being married twenty-five years and raising six children has also brought a few hard-to-see things to light. I have known the struggles of being a husband, father, friend, employee, and citizen in very confusing times. The travails of the household—as experienced by husbands and wives, fathers and mothers, children, and others—especially consume my attention and are close to my heart. The way forward is not easy, but we can search for it and travel it, together. My search is for refreshing and revitalizing waters from a good place. Peaceful yet challenging, silent but powerful, old as the hills and exactly what we need today. I want to reconnect with what we already know, or at least that we can know. It's both deep within us, and it's out there. We need to find it, and I know we can. My goal is a more fully human life, in its many facets, lived together in community and in life-giving relationships. I hope we can work toward this together.

Claiming friendship with God is a good way to get mocked by the “wise” of the world. But it is a central claim of Christianity. How do we make sense of it? Cy: Is friendship with God really possible? Philosophy professor John Cuddeback next. Hello, and welcome again to Catholic Answers Focus. I’m Cy Kellett, your host. Sometimes in apologetics we might spend much of our time explaining and defending the controversial aspects of Christian life, and can maybe not get around to explaining and defending the most beautiful teachings of Christ and His Church, and those might be the very ones …

The active life is supposed to be the overflow from the interior life... and yet here we are, trying to do things without swift recourse to a life of prayer. We talk through what has helped us to remember to put prayer first, as well as that sense of dis-integration we have when we don't first pray. We reference The Soul of the Apostolate, which can be found here. We also reference the podcast The Thomistic Institute, which can be found on different podcasting services, as well as here. The episode referenced was "Evangelizing with Failure: Fr. Augustine Wetta, O.S.B.". And we reference a blog, Bacon from Acorns, by Dr. John Cuddeback, which can be found here. His introductory articles as to what makes a household are so clear and helpful.

This lecture was given to the Chapter of the Thomistic Institute at the University of Virginia on November, 13, 2017 by Dr. John Cuddeback (Christendom College, Front Royal, VA).

If you were asked if you had any friends, it's almost a given that you'd reply, "Of course. I have many friends." But, do you really know what makes a friend a TRUE friend? And how is this different from a "regular" friend? Well, join Deacon Jeff and Tom in the luxurious corner booth as they welcome Dr. John Cuddeback, Professor of Philosophy at Christendom College. Dr. Cuddeback shares what it means to be a true friend, and what obstacles can keep us from that true friendship.
