Minute Read

Just in time for Fathers Day, we’re running a contest with a prize of the audio book version of 51N7MQ4GZTL._SL75_.jpg

The Expectant Father by our friend, Armin Brott. This book was given to me when we were expecting our first and was my first indication that dads would approach parenthood with a different orientation than dads.

Just email me at Paul @ GreatDad (correcting the email address of course) with either your favorite thing about fathers day, or what you hope to do on fathers day. We’ll publish all the answers and award one audio book at the end of the week. Good luck!

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, I talk with John David, a PR and crisis management professional and author of the mystery/thriller novel The Bystander, about what he discovered through being a dad. John shares how fatherhood became one of the things he’s most proud of, how he felt an early emotional bond with his kids, and how providing a calm, nonjudgmental sense of safety helped them come to him for support even as adults. We discuss the sacrifices parents make, the importance of embracing unexpected roles like Cub Scouts leadership, and how empty nesting gave John the time to rediscover fiction and write his novel. John also explains the premise of The Bystander and his writing process.
