Guide for Dads: Final Words – JUST DO IT !

April 21, 2008 by George Jacobs Ph.D. and Wan Loh Inn Ed.D. Leave a Comment

It doesn’t take a genius to be able to see the benefits of reading aloud. And, it doesn’t take a professional actor to be able to read aloud to children. Yet most adults spend little time reading aloud to children, even their own children.   Why not? Why don’t we dads spend more time reading aloud to children? The main excuse we adults make is, “I’m too busy,” usually … [Read more...] about Guide for Dads: Final Words – JUST DO IT !

Guide for Dads: Key Points to Remember About Reading Aloud

April 18, 2008 by George Jacobs Ph.D. and Wan Loh Inn Ed.D. Leave a Comment

Here is a list of key points to take away after reading these articles: Reading aloud nurtures a love for reading and strong bonds between readers and children. These two goals are more important than using reading aloud primarily to rush children to reading on their own or making a read aloud session into a tutorial session. Children’s areas of interest and comprehension … [Read more...] about Guide for Dads: Key Points to Remember About Reading Aloud

Guide for Dads: The Technical Side of Book Creation

April 17, 2008 by George Jacobs Ph.D. and Wan Loh Inn Ed.D. Leave a Comment

Once the book is written and the illustrations are done, dads need to publish the book so that it can go on the shelf along with the other books in children’s home library. Perhaps, children can even have a special place on the shelf for the books they wrote themselves.   There are many ways to make self-created books, ranging from the cheap and easy to the expensive and … [Read more...] about Guide for Dads: The Technical Side of Book Creation

Guide for Dads: Children Making Their Own Books (Starting from Scratch)

April 16, 2008 by George Jacobs Ph.D. and Wan Loh Inn Ed.D. Leave a Comment

Instead of using another book as a starting point, dads can help children develop more independent book ideas. Here are two suggestions: Children’s experiences can be the subject of the book. For example, after children make a bowl of fruit salad or visit a park, dads can help them write a book about their adventure. Children will be able to understand this book, because … [Read more...] about Guide for Dads: Children Making Their Own Books (Starting from Scratch)

Guide for Dads: Children Making Their Own Books (Starting from Other Books)

April 14, 2008 by George Jacobs Ph.D. and Wan Loh Inn Ed.D. Leave a Comment

Many dads may wonder how children can write their own books, when even very few adults write books. There are several ways to make this task easy. The first trick is to use books that dads have already read to the children and to use these books as models. They are not selling these books; they are just for their own use. Therefore, there are no copyright … [Read more...] about Guide for Dads: Children Making Their Own Books (Starting from Other Books)

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.

Spinning Out Family Stress with Michael Blair
byPaul Banas

Welcome to another episode of Great Dad Talks! This week, I sit down with life coach and former psychologist Michael Blair to explore modern tools for family harmony, emotional healing, and child development.

Michael shares the transformative power of his unique “spin” method—a tool rooted in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)—that helps kids, parents, and even whole families quickly change negative emotional patterns in just minutes. Listen in as Michael walks Paul through an anxiety-busting spin live, explains why dads’ involvement is critical to healthy families, and shares actionable tips on self-forgiveness and resilience.
