What If “I Know My Kid” Isn't Enough? We all like to think we know our kids. That they're good. That they're okay. But what if being “present” isn't the same as being connected? In this episode, I dive into the gut-wrenching lessons from the hit Netflix series Adolescence, unpacking the story of Jamie Miller — a 13-year-old boy whose silent struggles lead to a heartbreaking tragedy that blindsides his family. I reflect on how even well-meaning, hardworking dads — myself included — can miss the emotional warning signs hiding in plain sight. And I get real about the cultural myths we buy into that keep us from going deeper with our kids. This episode isn't about guilt. It's about awareness, ownership, and action. If you've ever said “my kid is fine,” this might be the most important podcast you hear all year. I'll also give you practical tools to start asking better questions, create a space of psychological safety, and build the kind of connection your kids can count on—especially when life gets heavy.   Become the best husband and leader you can: www.thedadedge.com/mastermind In this episode, I share: Why “How was your day?” might be the most dangerous question we ask. The three emotional blind spots that cost parents connection and trust. How to ask powerful questions that open your kids up (without forcing it). Why being a good provider isn't enough—and what your family really needs. What to say (and not say) when your kid finally opens up.   Here's what research supports about the power of action and intention: Studies show that couples who engage in regular, small acts of kindness report a 28% increase in relationship satisfaction. Research indicates that setting specific, shared goals increases the likelihood of improved communication and intimacy by 35%. Prioritizing quality time has been shown to reduce feelings of loneliness in relationships by 20%. If you're ready to stop waiting for motivation and start actively building a stronger, more connected marriage, this episode is for you. Let's take that first step together.   www.thedadedge.com/friday206 www.themensforge.com www.thedadedge.com/25questions www.thedadedge.com/alliance

Dave and Bethlie are BACK!  In today's episode Dave and Bethlie tackle a very important question from a listener about how to train a 3 year old with a big imagination to not lie.   Later on in the episode Dave and Bethlie begin their series on raising a child with special needs. Thanks for joining us and enjoy this episode!   Question from a listener Would you be able to share tips on how to train a 3 year old who has a beautiful imagination on lying. We do a lot of pretend/imagination play, but I want him to also understand that lying (if asked a specific question) is not good.  This is something that just recently came up, and I wasn't sure how to handle it or train him on it. You have to know the difference in imagination and lying. Lying lips are an abomination to God; but they that deal in truth are his delight You shall not bear false witness (you shall not be dishonest in any situation) Truth shall be established forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment Using ones imagination is fun and normal and creative; lying is refusing to face facts and/or take responsibility in a specific situation. Imagination is not wrong; lying is very wrong. Imagination is fun; lying is dangerous You have to use different words.  Let's pretend Let's imagine Always tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth That is a LIE and That is VERY BAD Say that softly and sadly Connect those emotions with the act of lying In imagination In reality You have to teach Jacob and his family He lied to his dad His father in law lied to him His sons lied to him The Boy Who Cried Wolf   (14:40) Raising A Child With Special Needs Part 1 Defining special needs. Special needs refer to children who require additional support or services due to physical, developmental, intellectual, or emotional challenges. These needs can range from mild to severe and may affect various aspects of a child's life, including: communication, mobility, learning, behavior, and social interaction.  Some children have physical challenges Blindness, deafness, etc. Some children have mental or emotional challenges Various degrees of autism Fetal alcohol syndrome Some children are diagnosed with behavioral issues   ADHD Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. These symptoms can cause significant problems in functioning at home, school, or work.  ADD Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is the older, more colloquial term for a specific type of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) called "Predominantly Inattentive Type”. ODD Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) is a behavioral disorder characterized by persistent negativity, defiance, and anger, often in children and adolescents. It's not a personality trait but a diagnosable condition that can impact a child's ability to learn, interact with others, and function in various settings.  OCD Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by obsessions (unwanted, persistent thoughts, images, or urges) and compulsions (repetitive behaviors or mental acts) that individuals feel driven to perform to reduce the anxiety caused by the obsessions.
