Episode Description from the Publisher

This Friday Craft of Fatherhood short is a solid quick listen if you want something deeper than generic parenting hacks.Ned tackles a question almost every dad thinks about but rarely says out loud: How much influence do I really have over who my kids become? The episode is really about this idea:A father’s job isn’t just protecting and providing — it’s helping shape a child’s identity. He talks about:how to guide your kids without controlling them,why kids need direction instead of “just figure it out,”and how fathers shape confidence, purpose, and character through everyday words and example.It’s thoughtful, honest, practical, and unscripted. Best takeaway:Your kids become who they are in large part through the things you consistently call out, encourage, and model to them.---------Check Out the Program Talked About: Genesis by Rise Up KingsThis episode is sponsored by Genesis - a Rite of Passage by Rise Up KingsOrder The Adventure of Fatherhood children's book hereCheck out the TEDx----------Want to learn more about The Adventure of Fatherhood?www.adventureoffatherhood.comwww.rebelandcreate.comEach week Ned sits down with a dad and asks him to open up his field notes and share with other men who find themselves on the Adventure of Fatherhood.
