The Ten Talents of Parenting: Playfulness

November 5, 2007 by Lawrence Cohen PhD Leave a Comment

For some dads, parenthood seems to come easily. They play, respond to children’s needs, understand children’s feelings, and trust themselves. The rest of us need to work at it a bit more. But that’s OK, we don’t have to all be naturals. This article, focusing on playfulness, is the first of a series about how to nurture the talents of fatherhood.    Playfulness is … [Read more...] about The Ten Talents of Parenting: Playfulness

The Ten Talents of Parenting: Turning Worry into Trust

August 9, 2007 by Lawrence Cohen PhD Leave a Comment

Turning Worry into Trust A friend once told me about a new mom who called her pediatrician about 50 times during the first two weeks of her son's life. Finally the pediatrician called the mom into her office and said, "Listen, you have become a parent. You have opened yourself up to a lifetime of worry. You have to pace yourself."

The Ten Talents of Parenting: Connection

Focusing on Relationship to Ease Power Struggles with Your Child When my daughter was just starting kindergarten, we had big battles over getting dressed.

But guess who always wins … [Read more...] about The Ten Talents of Parenting: Connection

The Ten Talents of Parenting: Self-Acceptance

How to End the Blame Game Most parents struggle with feeling inadequate or incompetent. One key talent of parenthood is letting go of self-criticism and self-blame.

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.
