TELL YOUR KIDS YOU LOVE THEM EACH DAY
Before we start, I need your help.
In this episode, I want to give you the most important tip from my book "25 Tips For Divorced Dads."
I feel that as parents forget to just tell our kids that we love them. The world can seem moving fast and before you know it, poof, the kids are out of the house.
For me personally, I have struggled with having regrets when it comes to my son Connor. I know it is not too late but my thought is that as he was growing up I was not a good enough father to him.
More on that in a blog post.
I do try letting him know that I love him even though I do not see him on a regular basis.
Tell your kids you love them. Even in front of their friends.
I will admit that for my oldest bonus daughter Betsy, it is not easy to say. I think that will be a follow up podcast.
My other bonus daughter Becca, we have a pretty cool relationship and saying I love you to each other is very natural.
Bottom line, just say it.
