For many of our friends and clients around the country that will be starting school tomorrow.Here is a great dad and a great lunch idea for the first days of school, especially for some of you like my son who got special back to school wear!
Have a great day and a great year!
Here is a video for this week. Still working on the format and will definitely add some less boring content but it is a work in progress. Let me know what you like/don’t like in the comment section. We want to build on your input. Once we start events we will have plenty to talk about!
We work with fathers to help them help their kids be successful. We use this video in many of our presentations to show dads what it is going to take to be successful in a rapidly changing world. Great information but because it is a year old, it has already changed drastically again!
School started yesterday for most of our partner schools in Texas and many around the country. My wife and sons started middle school, high school, and college respectively. I went to work getting some things done and preparing for a busy school year with father-kid activities around Dallas-Fort Worth and training workshops around the country. After a long days work, I went to work out. When I returned to my vehicle, I had lost more than time and sweat…..An Impromptu video about what I have learned over the past few hours.
Let me know what you think.
My son would probably ask me to NOT do this if he finishes homework.
But whatever works for homework!
The cool guys at DadLabs actually said I was a really cool dad. Or at least they said I was in a group of really cool dads at the National PTA Convention. It was great to hang out with the DadLabs dads, Eric Snow of WatchDOGS, and Coach Tony Dungy of AllPro Dads.
Thanks to the DadLabs for covering a great event and for helping promote father involvement in schools and the PTA. For MORE information on the MORE ALLIANCE, click HERE.
Had a great week with my youngest son at Father-Teen Adventure in Colorado. More to come on our busy week in the mountains. Met a bunch of great dads and sons and can’t wait to share some of their stories with you as well. While I am regrouping and re-grooving to get started for the week. Please enjoy this hilarious video about dads. It is a dad’s life indeed.
Here is an informational video about our newest efforts in DeSoto ISD. We are joining forces with all of the entities in DISD that are working to involve parents. Through schedule and class collaboration as well as a Facebook page and quarterly parent magazine, we are looking forward to a great year and some great experiences with and for fathers and families. The Welcome Home Segment is included here for parents that have been accessing charter or private schools. DeSoto ISD is dedicated to making sure that every child in the district has all of their needs met in a public school setting. Strong Fathers-Strong Families is honored to be a part of their efforts.
Dr. Laura’s video hits the nail on the head. Many fathers could and would be even stronger fathers if they are allowed to be. If men do not take the initiative, they are considered weak, if men take over, they are considered pushy. Strong Fathers are neither one. Strong Fathers and Strong Mothers work together within their own strengths to raise strong kids.
Men step up and do what is right by your kids, work it out with the mom, and lead your family. Moms, let dad do his job. Both parents are right when they decide to work together.
Had a great morning at Hamlin Elementary in Hamlin, Texas. Lonnie Powell and his staff always do a great job with and for kids. We had a good group of dads who participated with their kids and even had the teachers stay and play with all of the kids in the summer program.
We even got some great media coverage from Priscilla Luong at KTAB television. You can see her story online on their Big Country Homepage. We are looking forward to going back out west in the Fall to do a Bring Your Dad to School Day in September.
