MAN TO MAN — What she doesn't get and why it's so frustrating

Men share the same frustrations, but don't know it. We often think we're the only one who thinks like we do. MAN TO MAN can be used as a personal journal or a group study guide, to help us find simple strategies to make our homes, and lives, feel better.

It's authentic and candid enough to be shared with other men — but also respectful enough, to be picked up by your partner. 

It's real, it's very honest, and it might just change your life.

From the Podcast — Let Your Kids Fail

Every parents fails. Every parent feels like a failure from time to time. It's why doing a podcast on parenting is so hard — because I fail too. And not many people feel qualified to come on this podcast as a guest — because they feel like a failure.

But the thing is. it's failure that qualifies us for life. It's failure that makes us stronger. It's failure that gives us wisdom it's through failure that we learn. It's through failure that we grow.

And here's the other thing . Our kids fail. Our kids need to fail — to learn to succeed. Our kids need to fail to grow strong.

But there is a massive difference between our kids failing and our kids feeling like a failure.

So today we are going to talk about failure. We are going to talk about how we can encourage failure alongside holding incredibly high expectations for our kids.

You see that's the big challenge. Most parent avoid failure by not having a standard that kids can fail against. They drop their rules and standards to avoid their children feeling like a failure.

So called parenting experts on social media teaches parenting principles that inevitability require parents to drop their standards because they make parents afraid to allow the child feel hard things.

Today we are going to see that hard things, big emotions. Stress and failure are ok — That we all need failure and we all need rules and high standards — that's how we thrive.

A successful life is one that involves discipline. Self control. Limits and boundaries. Look at anybody who is a self made man or women and you will find a person with incredible discipline.

Look at anybody who is pursuing a life of complete freedom from constraint and self control and limits — what do you see?

So. It should be obvious to us. High standards. Boundaries. Limits — these things are vitally important for us, and for our kids. Which in turn means failure is important too.
