Mr. Maher argues the OG conventional dad, or trad dad, is the reply. Return to treating children like they’re — little folks with out judgment who want self-discipline and preparation for actual life.
In different phrases, get powerful dads. When children query you about why they should do one thing, reply with “As a result of I mentioned so.” It is a legit reply.
If the objective is to boost children to allow them to perform and even excel after they’re launched into the wild, the gentle-parenting dad is empirically an abject failure, So toughen up pops!!!
