A quick Google search will reveal tons of info on masculinity and attracting women. But fatherhood, not so much. Why don’t men talk much about fatherhood, whether we have sons, daughters or both?
Well, my guest is none other than the host of The Girl Dad Show, Young Han. Despite the title of both his show and this episode, we end up talking almost as much about fathering sons as daughters…and you’ll see why.
To kick things off, Young and I consider how men often fear fatherhood…and how if if they don’t, they typically want sons. But what is it about fathering daughters that is just as amazing, if in a completely different way?
Is it true that daughters are often easier to handle as little kids than sons, but more difficult as teenagers? But wait a minute…what is the unique challenge teenage sons often bring? Can you avoid the widely-reported tipping point where your kids apparently turn on you in their teen years?
How do you handle that “awkward stage” as tweeners when they discover MOTOS? What if Mom is too squeamish to give our daughters ‘The Talk’? Should we step in? And then what…do we sit on the porch with a shotgun? But seriously though…what’s a father to do when they discover their daughters are sexual beings?
What is the fine line between building grit/mental toughness/confidence in our daughters versus trying to impose boyhood upon them? What about when it comes time someday to be the father of the bride? Last and certainly not least, how can you do your best to ensure a great relationship with your kids during and throughout adulthood?
