What Are 7 Things That a Son Needs from His Dad?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This question was inspired by one of the top-3 All Pro Dad blog posts of all time. Dads really want to know how to connect with their boys. Ted Lowe, Mark Merrill, Bobby Lewis, and BJ Foster talk about their relationship with their sons.
The types of needs we are talking about on today’s episode are not basic needs like food, shelter, and clothing. We are talking about the 7 things a son needs relationally from his dad.
What are the 7 things?
1. He needs you to love his mother.
2. He needs to see you fail, not just succeed.
3. He needs your servant leadership.
4. He needs you to be present.
5. He needs you to discipline him in love.
6. He needs your love regardless of his choices.
7. He needs you to affirm him.
Bottomline: Your son needs you.
Today’s Pro Move: Pick one of the seven things on the list and focus on that this week. Put it into practice to start becoming more connected with your son.
