What's the Best Part About Raising Boys?
Tossing the football in the yard. Working on cars in the driveway. Reviewing how to be a gentleman on a date. There are so many cool moments dads and son share that it’s hard to pick the best ones. In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to talk about the joy of being a dad to sons.
Why This Matters
Sons often grow up to be mini versions of their dads. Building a strong bond today can have generational impact.
Key Stat
· In a Gallup survey, boys are more likely than girls to report having a strong, loving relationship with their parents (77% versus 61%).
“Get To,” Not Have To
Here are a few things dads get to do with their sons:
1. Pass down “dad stuff”
2. Be rough.
3. Be real.
4. Be buddies.
5. Be a mentor and example.
6. Get a future best friend.
