Private Coed

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
Welcome to Great Dad Talks! In this episode, I sit down with renowned psychiatrist and psychotherapist Dr. David Joseph, author of Listening for a Lifetime: The Artful Science of Psychotherapy. With over 50 years of experience, Dr. Joseph dives deep into the power of active listening, the art (and science) of emotional safety, and how true listening can transform parent-child relationships.
Discover practical advice for dads on nurturing connection, creating emotionally safe environments for kids, and modeling respectful relationships at home. Whether you’re a dad, a coach, or just someone striving to be a better listener, you’ll find actionable tips and heartfelt wisdom that can make a real difference.

I don’t think this chart is updated because I just confirmed with Hope Lutheran Elementary in Daly City and they have actually been closed for 2 years, since 2008/2009.
