The Father Effect: Why Great Dads Stop Trying To Control Their Children With Geoff Owen

from Mens Anonymous

Many fathers carry the heavy burden of providing for their families while simultaneously managing a household, often feeling powerless when their attempts to control behavior fail. Geoff Owen, author of The Parenting Assumption, joins us to explore “the father effect” and why great dads often struggle when they stop trying to control their children. Geoff shares his unique journey from the world of professional theater to becoming a leading voice in biologically aligned parenting. We dive into how to move away from outdated "solutions-focused" methods and instead foster a natural, peaceful environment where children can thrive. If you’ve ever wondered why your best efforts at discipline feel like a losing battle, this conversation offers a profound shift in perspective that will change the way you show up for your family.Love the show?

Kanskje hadde du planer om å ligge på en deilig strand i Nice, cruise rundt i Karibien, spise vårruller i Vietnam eller stå på ski i innendørsanlegget i Dubai? Vel: Glem det. I år skal ferien sannsynligvis også for deg tilbringes i gode, gamle Norge. Og det er jo ålreit det.Vår hypotese er at mange nordmenn i år kommer til å teste ut konseptet bobilferie for aller første gang. Det skal kjøres, soves, spises og sosialiseres i en bil mens man snirkler seg oppover og innover den norske landeveien. Det høres både hyggelig og seigt ut, spør du oss. Når en bobilferie skal planlegges dukker det opp mange spørsmål. Sjukt mange, faktisk. La oss være din venn i nøden. Vi skal ta deg med på alt fra planlegging, gjennomføring og debriefing av en ferie på fire hjul. Og det dukker også opp noen spennende gjester underveis. Håper du sjekker oss ut!Har du ris eller ros?
