Farm (3 of 3): The Sleuth

For dad only: The Heart of Potential Do you talk to your children’s hearts or their heads? Dads ask, how do I get my kids to mind? Head-talk creates guilt or resentment. Heart-talk motivates children to behave without your commanding them. Talk to the hand When you find yourself talking to the hand, “Don’t touch… Continue reading Farm (3 of 3): The Sleuth

Farm (2 of 3)

For dad only: Cultivate Your Children You may regret is sending your child off to college to learn how to make money.

Independence Day (3 of 3)

For dad only: Be the Base By Doug Joseph In our garage is an old, beat up, plastic 5-gallon bucket with burn marks on the bottom. We also have an old, cracked recycling bin.

Wisdom (2 of 3): Telltale Behavior

For dad only: Standing on Another’s Shoulders My brother drove my family and his to the top of Pike’s Peak.

Standing on top of the world like that, you quickly forget… Continue reading Wisdom (2 of 3): Telltale Behavior

Wisdom (1 of 3): Draw It Out

For dad only: Love Like Adam While weeping in prayer one day, I asked the Lord how He could have ever loved His disciples. I was burned out, at the bottom, and totally frustrated with people. I did not feel I could love anyone at that moment—even my own children. I saw everyone’s flaws. I… Continue reading Wisdom (1 of 3): Draw It Out
