Kids don’t push boundaries because they want chaos; they do it because they need to know the boundaries are firm. Every time you calmly reinforce those limits, you’re helping them feel secure in a world that can feel unpredictable and overwhelming #fatherhood #parenting

If someone from the distant past visited, what would you show them to impress them most?

For me, it’s cling film.

Gonna be a tough one to enforce, but we should use whatever tools we have to remove social media from everyone’s lives, starting with the most vulnerable.
True or False:

Social media can destroy our kids before they’re even comfortable in their own skin.

I mean, I just figured out my skin… and I’m well past 16. So yeah, I’m on board with this one.

I’ve found joy in managing my kids’ relationship with technology—something I know many parents struggle with.

I’m starting to write about my approach, hoping to share practical advice for those who could use it. Stay tuned!
