About Bill Bounds

Bill Bounds is the author of “Forty Weeks of Keeping Your Head Down.” This is the story of one fairly typical man trying to navigate down the road towards being a father for the first time. It’s a chronicle of what one normal guy experiences, thinks and worries about as he and his wife become parents for the first time. The goal is not to show other men what they will expect as they go down this road themselves, as much as to show just what one guy experienced so they might have some indication as to what’s in store for them, what’s typical and what isn’t, and what they’re thinking may just also be the same as every other guy going through it.

The other four-letter word

March 30, 2011 by Bill Bounds Leave a Comment

My wife and I have tried very hard to work with our daughter regarding sharing. Somehow, though, despite our best efforts and our going out of our way to never use this word, her new favorite word has lately become, “MINE!” We truly don’t know where she learned the concept of mine or even the word, but she has grabbed hold of it and is refusing to let go.

Our daughter has several mostly self-appointed jobs around the house from feeding the dog and putting her toys away to turning on lights in the hall as we walk through. She has other smaller responsibilities like giving my wife and I kisses bye-bye or for “night-nights.”  Lately, she occasionally finds herself in a particularly foul or independent mood and decides she … [Read more...] about Call their bluffs

Tag teaming

December 20, 2010 by Bill Bounds Leave a Comment

No matter what words of wisdom come from me or anyone else you receive advice from, two-year-olds will sometimes scream despite our best efforts to stop it. This is a fact. As parents, we simply have to figure out how to deal with it. In our case, I’m finding my daughter’s most significant impossible-to-control melt-downs seem to be due not so much to her wanting something … [Read more...] about Tag teaming

A little choice goes a long way

November 14, 2010 by Bill Bounds Leave a Comment

It should come as no surprise to anyone that a primary source for the overall terribleness of the Terrible Twos is that this is the time a child first starts to exercise his independence. He’s coming out of a time where he was totally immobile and depending on his parents for absolutely everything, then somewhat mobile but unsure on his feet. Now that he’s nearly fully mobile, … [Read more...] about A little choice goes a long way

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
