Connection Before Correction

In this episode of How Do You Dad?, Joe Barlow sits down with Dr. J.C. Aikenhead to talk about what it really means to be a father. J.C. shares how he parents with strength, love, and intentionality while learning to cultivate his children’s unique personalities, dreams, and God-given potential. Together, they explore the importance of connection before correction, allowing kids to experience failure, and guiding them without crushing their will. At the heart of it all is one powerful idea: if you want to influence your children, you have to win their hearts. Tell them you love them. Show them you love them. Win their hearts, not just their obedience. You can connect with Dr. JC on instagram @specializedgolf, or his website at www.specializedgolf.org.
