Be Better.

The Pressure of Fatherhood: Expectations and Realities. Showing up as the best father & role model l EP. 30 l

Season 1 Episode 30

In this episode of the Be Better podcast, I discuss the challenges and responsibilities of fatherhood, emphasizing the importance of presence, emotional intelligence, and leading by example.

I explores how children learn through observation rather than instruction, and how fathers can create a positive environment for their children by being present and making intentional decisions. The conversation also touches on the dynamics of masculinity in parenting and the need for fathers to take the lead in their families.

Key takeaways

  • Fathers often have unrealistic expectations for themselves and their children.
  • Children learn more from actions than words.
  • Being present is more important than being perfect.
  • Fathers should model the behavior they want to see in their children.
  • Decision-making is a key masculine trait that fathers should embody.
  • Creating routines can help fathers be more present with their families.
  • Fathers need to lead by example in emotional intelligence and self-awareness.
  • It's important to prioritize family time over work obligations.
  • Fathers should actively teach their children how to navigate life.
  • A positive environment fosters creativity and growth in children.
