In our close relationships, we play several roles.

As a father; Daddy, teacher, disciplinarian…

Recently, I realised that this isn’t a problem, but getting the portion size wrong certainly is.

If we spend 75% of our time as parents in the ‘teacher’ or ‘disciplinarian’ role, I’d imagine our kids don’t feel safe around us to be themselves because they will always think they’re going to be corrected.

Personally, I think I need to spend 95% of my time as a father as ‘Daddy’, and only pull out the teacher now and then.

It’s like our diet… think of the ‘improver’ roles as the protein and the ‘nurturer’ roles as the veggies! Don’t be a keto parent!!!
