What is the #1 ingredient to happiness? Money? Success? Sex? NO! The single biggest ingredient to happiness is GRATITUDE. Most of our kids are living blessed lives yet most of our younger generation is more self-involved than ever. Tonight at #DadChat, August 28 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m.PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m.ET, we are going to TEACH OUR KIDS TO CARE (about something other than themselves) with special co-host Tim McDonald.
Christian – Eagle Scout
Every parent wants the best for their kids. I asked the Moral Question of the Week, WHICH do you want most for your kids – to be Happy, Good, or Successful? Yes, we want all three but not on that list is, do you care about your kid(s) sexuality? I would assume that most of the #DadChat community is open-minded and, dare I say, inclusive. I know there’s no homophobia in our community BUT that doesn’t answer the question of how YOU would deal with a child that is questioning his or her sexuality? We are going to TAKE THIS ON with co-host Christian Hollingsworth aka Lord Christian, who has lived it and then some this Thursday July 21 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET.
Don’t we all love summer? And, don’t we all love music? So, we’re going to continue a #DadChat tradition with our music chats – this time we’ll share our favorite Songs of Summer! And, as is also #DadChat tradition, we have Jason Ramsey as our co-host whenever we “do music.” Join us Thursday, August 14 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET. Me, I like old Rock ‘N’ Roll – what about you?
What parent hasn’t struggled trying to help their kid(s) find their strengths, their passion? What parent doesn’t worry when their kid(s) are going through life without direction, playing video games, watching tv, and complaining about being bored? It happened to me. I finally “got lucky” when my boys did find their passions. It sure would have been easier had I had Thrively.com. We have “Teach” aka Angela Maiers with us for a Back2School night at #DadChat this Thursday August 7, from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET. The topic is what MATTERS to our kids and how Thrively may be THE TOOL to help guide us to find their passion and strengths.
It’s no joke. There is identity theft and all kinds of shenanigans going on with the Internet. Yet, how many parents are really aware of what their kids do online? What they watch and WHO may be watching them? Social Media Safety is our topic for this Thursday’s #DadChat, July 31 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET. We have special guest DJ Thistle as our co-host this chat.
Who hasn’t had THAT idea that they were sure would be a home-run? And, then you see it on TV in an infomercial and kick yourself saying, “I had THAT idea!” Well, ideas are a dime a dozen – getting them OUT THERE is the key. We have the author of The Mom Inventor’s Handbook – Tamara Morosoff – as our guest at #DadChat this Thursday, July 24 at 6:00 p.m. PT/9:00 p.m. ET. She will teach us HOW to make it happen plus you can win copies of her books!
Is Feminism to blame for the good and the bad in our kids’ lives? Why are boys doing worse than ever while our girls are doing better in terms of academics, high school graduation, and college admissions? Has Title IV helped or hurt our kids? Do you believe our elementary schools are feminized? How many male teachers do you see these days?
Let’s discuss the POWER that feminism has instilled in our girls/women and its upside AND downside this Thursday July 17 at #DadChat, at 6:00 p.m. PT/9:00 p.m. ET. We have noted expert Mohanalakshmi Rajakumar as our very special co-host. Be sure to read her bio, below…
The world is a different place than when I grew up. I actually grew up with Leave It to Beaver (look it up, you millennials!). I wrote a recent column declaring that When I Was Your Age – It Was Much Easier. It was! And, being a parent was easier. Today it may be the BEST choice you can make to work out of the house. THAT is our topic this Thursday July 10 at #DadChat from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET.
