Five gadgets every dad should get this Valentine’s Day

January 14, 2011 by Alex Bellamy Leave a Comment

Valentine's Day is typically thought of as a holiday during which husbands and boyfriends can dote upon their significant others. Though the day typically causes a mixture of dread, fear and anticipation among all men, dads might be hopeful that they'll receive a few items on their wish lists in honor of cupid. For dads who are hoping to receive great gifts this year, there are a number of gadgets that any man would be pleased to have, DigitalTrends.com reports.

1. New headphones. While your iPod may have come with the requisite white earbuds, sometimes they're just not enough. Whether listening to music while reading, working out or on the way to work, the outside world shouldfade to silence as you enjoy your favorite tunes.

2. Sony Playstation 3. Dads are never too old to enjoy video games, and the PS3 is one of the best systems on the market. Even if you're not a big gamer, the system also plays Blu-ray discs.

3. A GPS. Men are notorious for not asking for directions, but with the GPS you can ask for some help in the privacy of your own vehicle. The gadget is ideal for vacations and it can make roads trip a breeze. Unfortunately, it still won't quiet the incessant cries of "are we there yet" coming from the backseat.

4. Mini Camcorder. Part of a dad's job description is recording all the momentous occasions in their kids' lives. Having the latest movie-making equipment will help.

5. Adidas miCoach Pacer. This bit of technology will inspire out of shape dads to get up and moving, as it will provide you with daily work out results.

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.

166. Unlocking Kids’ Musical Potential with Andrew Ingkavet
byPaul Banas

Are you a parent who wishes their child loved music as much as you do?

In this episode, I chat with Andrew Ingkavet about how to spark a love of music in children. Andrew shares his journey, techniques for teaching young kids music, and the importance of finding the right approach. Discover why starting music before the “inner editor” kicks in is crucial, how to instill habits of daily practice without pressure, and how to find the right teacher who inspires rather than intimidates.

Whether you’re a parent or music teacher, you’ll gain valuable insights on creating a positive, engaging musical experience for your child.
