What Dads Really want for Father’s Day (It’s not an Apple Watch!)

Dad Julian Redwood, MFT May 23, 2015

Minute Read

You are right that most of us men love a new toy for Father’s Day. And yes a nice ‘lap kiss’ can make our day!

BUT that isn’t what we deeply desire.

Knowing what your partner truly wants and how to give it to them is a key step in supporting your family to thrive. Of course it’s hard to do that on a consistent basis and that’s why Father’s Day is such a great opportunity.

It’s remarkable how a really good Father’s Day can fill a man’s heart for a surprising amount of time. And a Dad with a full heart is great thing for everyone.

Today’s video gives you four things you can do to make this June 21st a wonderful day for you, your man and thus your family.

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

In this episode of Great Dad Talks, I talk with psychotherapist and author Dr. Brian DeRoche (Living a Trigger Free Life) about the neuroscience behind why our kids trigger us and how nervous systems influence each other through co-regulation. Brian explains “emotional influence,” the role of nonverbal cues and facial presence in creating safety, and how repeated disconnection can teach children painful emotional lessons about not mattering.

Whether you’re dealing with tantrums, feeling triggered at home, or just want to connect more deeply with your kids, this interview will give you science-backed guidance for building stronger, happier family bonds.
