Dad tip #4 – Traveling with teens

June 11, 2009 by Paul Banas Leave a Comment

Traveling with Teens The protracted screech of a braking train is perhaps the only thing less pleasant than the thought of a no-escape vacation in close quarters with a teenager. Travel can bring out the worst in people and if you are going through a rough patch with your teenager, don’t expect a family vacation to bring out the Waltons in you. There are things you can do, … [Read more...] about Dad tip #4 – Traveling with teens

Must-Read Advice for a Weekend Adults-Only Mini-Vacation

March 18, 2009 by GreatDad Writers Leave a Comment

I know some couples who have been married for 20 years and never have had a weekend without the kids since they were born. I wouldn’t recommend this.

Giving up your seat on the plane so families can sit together

September 6, 2008 by GreatDad Writers Leave a Comment

As I settled into my tiny seat on a recent flight, a woman asked me if I'd trade my aisle seat for her middle so she could be, as she said, " with my girls." She was a young-ish looking mom-type, and my first reaction was to give up my seat. After all, it was just a short 90 minute flight and for the sake of a beleaguered mom, I could afford to be chivalrous.

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.
