At one point in my life, I had little money to spend. But I still had the responsibility to make sure that my daughters enjoyed their time with me. And that brought out my creative juices.

More importantly, I realized what my kids actually needed. Watch today’s video where I talk about how the simpl...

Allow me to share a parenting tip with you. But first, "Don't think of a pink elephant." Humans have this quirk—when we're told not to think about something, we have to think about it to then not think about it. That is why, right now, you’re still thinking of a pink elephant. Things are no different for our kids who are still figuring out the world around them. Just imagine this. When you tell your kid not to touch the hot stove, you're not saying no. You're just planting the idea of doing it i...

Ever since they were small, my goal has always been to show my daughters what a good man is like. I wanted them to know what was possible when it comes to being in a relationship, such as having love and respect and being cared for. We, the dads, have the responsibility to set the standards so that our children know what to expect or what is possible. In today's video, I share why it is important to be a better communicator when it comes to talking to your children about relationships and their ...

You can be your kid's first supporter or hater as a dad. Learning to give direct feedback while encouraging our kids is a skill we need to master as dads.

But to truly grow, you must also be able to tell them where they can improve without being jerks. - Follow us on all channel Website: https://teevee.mx Podcast: https://teevee.fm

When people talk about “parenting,” movies rarely come up as the source of inspiration and guide. I’m here to tell you to reconsider. Storytelling already comes naturally to us. We start and end our days with conversations. Films are no different, albeit packaged differently. We do this because stories stick—we share a tale to our kids, and the next thing you know, that story has been passed on to your grandkids. Watch today’s episode where I share how stories make such a great impact on our kid...

I became acutely aware of what the term "daddy issues" meant as I started dating after my divorce. I had a ton of them. This fact is apparent to anyone who has read my writing for any length of time. The women that I dated had their daddy issues as well. I learned just how important a father plays in their children's lives, for both sons and daughters.

As a young father, I came across so many individuals who despised their family and family name. I found this heartbreaking. I had to change that with my daughters.

They can write with power and vulnerability, step on stage, and share their truth with a room full of people. They can draw, paint, shoot, and edit. I’ll stop there. They can do so much so well at such a young age. This is my daughters’ Portfolio of Success. This is how I developed them into the confident young ladies that the world sees today.
