Gilette’s tribute to Dads

June 19, 2012 by Paul Banas Leave a Comment

The folks at Tide's PR agency sent this to me. Perhaps you've already seen it. Tide and Gilette were both at Dad 2.0. They are now awake to the changing buying behavior in America's homes that has been going on for a decade. I'm happy to show it here too. In many ways, this is a pivotal year for dads, not really because anything has really changed, but because popular culture … [Read more...] about Gilette’s tribute to Dads

Levi Johnston to be a Dad Again

April 4, 2012 by Paul Banas Leave a Comment

I won't say anything more than that I hope he can be as good and present a father as he can be to both of his kids. Round two of diaper duty for Levi Johnston!

Off-season football for dads: Harvard Beats Yale 29-29 on DVD

March 27, 2012 by Paul Banas Leave a Comment

If you haven't seen Harvard Beats Yale, get it and watch it with your kids. As much a documentary about this amazing game played in 1968, it's a look backward at a different time. The director of this documentary, Kevin Rafferty, spends easily a third of the interviews with the players discussing the anti-war movement in 1968, the politics of the two different campuses and the … [Read more...] about Off-season football for dads: Harvard Beats Yale 29-29 on DVD

Review: iZON Remote Room Monitor

March 26, 2012 by Paul Banas Leave a Comment

I've been waiting for this gadget forever, though unfortunately now about six years to late to use it to monitor my son's crib. TheiZON is one of many new monitors finally making the scene that use WIFI and the internet to bring images back to you rather than short distance broadcasts. Devices like this have existed for at least three or four years, but were all built on … [Read more...] about Review: iZON Remote Room Monitor

Why I’ve been away

March 26, 2012 by Paul Banas Leave a Comment

The GreatDad blog has been a wasteland for the last few months and I apologize for the lack of interaction. Family life goes on, the kids keep growing up, and I keep having reactions to things, but haven't had time to blog. Instead, we've moved and relaunched a magazine (the venerable Pregnancy magazine lives again!). And still, there have been doctor and dentist appointment, … [Read more...] about Why I’ve been away

Great Dad Talks

Great Dad Talks
Great Dad Talks

Great Dad Talks is a series of conversations with experts on all aspects of the family adventure. With the perspective that “dads don’t always think like moms,” our mission is to support dad voices and our slightly different approaches to parenting. We’ll try to find solutions to every day challenges like getting kids off the couch and making STEM classes available for both boys and girls. But we’ll also tackle bigger issues when they come. The one main theme will be to support dads in the most important role of their lives that of being a great dad. Connect with us at greatdad.com and watch the video version of these podcasts at YouTube.com/greatdadnews
