How to Deal with Getting Fired

Life is full of challenges, and parents teach their kids a lot by how they deal with adversity. Here is one Dad’s story about How to Deal with Getting Fired: I work in marketing and advertising. This means I get fired. A lot. Unfortunately, being laid off comes with the territory in this career field. Over the years, I’ve read many books on transitioning, job-seeking, interviewing and networking, but I have yet to come across any literature that deals with how to gracefully deal with getting canned.

Servant Leadership and Fatherhood

Implementing the 5 Ways of Being to my role as a father has both challenged and enhanced the relationship I have with my kids. At times, it would be easier to abandon these principles in favor of an easier path, perhaps something along the lines of Bill Cosby’s comedic assertion that “parents just want peace!” The problem is peace through pacification or power rarely works, whereas taking the time to apply the 5 Ways of Being through love and accountability always produces a better result in the end.

What’s Cooking Dad?

While it may seem like more work to have your kids helping to prepare a meal, and it often is – particularly when they’re little – in the end you’ll benefit from having a helper, someone who will be self-sufficient, and who might even cook dinner for you once in awhile.

New Year Quotes to Inspire Dad

The dawning of a New Year always brings me hope. And while I’m not one to make resolutions, I do believe in the importance of goals, inspiration and motivation. To me, it is critical for husbands and fathers to set a positive tone and example for the family, especially during times of uncertainty.

Founding Fathers and Their Families

On July 4, 1776, the birth of a great nation was signified by the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The Fourth of July has always been a favorite holiday for me. I remember anxiously anticipating fire works displays and patriotic parades, but most importantly I remember spending time together as a family celebrating life in the greatest country on Earth.

Dads and Daughters – Make a Decision Already

I usually sprinkle my posts with apologies and disclaimers designed to absolve myself of horrible wrongdoings and complete obliteration of everything that can be remotely considered good parenting. But this time I actually know what I’m talking about. I make mistakes when parenting.

Don’t Rob Your Kids

A lot of parents rob from their children. I don’t mean they take money or possessions, I mean they take opportunities for growth. And they do it with the best of intentions.

The Pressure of Being a Good Husband and Dad

I’m almost thirty-seven. I’m a man, and I’m a husband and father. I find myself thinking very frequently what these things mean, not only in my own life but also in life in general. It makes me think about things like pressure, responsibility and duty.

Fitness for Dads: Dad, What’s for Dinner?

It’s 5pm. You’re still at work, but tonight you’re supposed to make dinner. The last thing you want to do is order pizza because that’s what you did last night and you can’t bear to ask your wife to cook again this week because TONIGHT is the only night you’re responsible to feed the family. It also happens to be the day that your meeting ran through lunch so you couldn’t pop down to the gym for your workout.

Knowing When the Job is Done

One of the things I hope to do as he’s growing up is to teach my young son how to do a job the right way, from start to finish. I’d like to teach him about starting well, executing well, and finishing well.

Do You Role Model Integrity for Your Kids?

Integrity is generally defined as adhering to a specific moral code or set of values. A person with integrity is someone you can trust and rely upon to do what is right, even if it’s not popular. As a parent, I believe my words and actions mean something to my kids – they watch and learn from my example, so acting with integrity is critical if I want them to grow into responsible and trustworthy individuals.

Make Time for Yourself – Know When to Tap Out

I’m exhausted after a long day at work. All I want to do is go home and relax. As a parent, though, my day is not done when work is over. Parenting is my second full-time job. It’s challenging to maintain a balanced life with so many competing priorities at work and home. Every once in a while, I need a break from things to recharge my batteries and find that balance.

What Kind of Dad Did You Have?

Discovering Dad is a site about “learning what it means to be a good dad,” and to me, good dads don’t give up. The learn how to adapt; they grow up; they evolve; and, they love their kids no matter what, even if their kids don’t seem to love them back. However, as dads, we don’t only learn from our experiences as fathers ourselves – we learn from the example that was also set in our own homes. So, good or bad, what kind of dad did you have?

Do It Because I Said So!

As parents, we always want what’s best for our children. One of those things is to protect them at all costs. We will make imperative statements to them on a routine basis and not necessarily explain why we are making them.

Seven Ways to Role Model Thankfulness

People like to complain. If it’s not the rise in gas prices, then it’s the fall in stock values.  Taxes are too high, and political accountability is too low.  The economy is in the toilet, and customer service sucks!  The house is always dirty, and the kids never appreciate how hard you work to put [...]
