Review: Toy Story 3 DVD

October 28, 2010 by Paul Banas Leave a Comment

The studio sent us a preview copy of the new Toy Story 3 DVD. I've been waiting a few months since both my son and I missed the theatrical release and my daughter has been raving about it. The family was not disappointed. First of all, we do not have 3D, but we did spring for a Blu-Ray player after our old DVD gave out a few months ago. Since Netflix doesn't do Blu-Ray, this … [Read more...] about Review: Toy Story 3 DVD

‘Take Time’ to Be a Dad Ads

October 21, 2010 by Paul Banas Leave a Comment

We're always happy to see more press that supports dads being more involved. Unlike moms, who would bristle at the pressure of being a "great mom," dads can be truly great dads just by being there. “The fatherhood campaign does that in spades. It makes it easy to take action.

The big themes at 2010 ABC kids show

October 14, 2010 by Paul Banas Leave a Comment

Sorry for the tease. There were no big themes. Maybe it's the recession or just a fluke, but I wasn't the only one who had a hard time finding major conclusions from this year's kid and baby products extravaganza in Las Vegas this week.  I saw a few things that were new - I judged the JPMA Innovation Awards - but no game changers. Here are the subtle moves I did see, though … [Read more...] about The big themes at 2010 ABC kids show

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. Connect with us at greatdad.com and watch the video version of these podcasts at YouTube.com/greatdadnews
