We’ve all heard that “the days are long, but the years are short.”
This has got to be the most truthful statement ever made. ?And you can probably relate.? Those early years are hard.? The little people wear you out.? They need you at every moment.? It’s exhausting!? ??
Then one day you wake up and they don’t want to be rocked anymore.? Soon they can pour their own milk.? Then they don’t want you to walk them to school ever again.? This is a sad but true reality.? And if you just muscled through or self-medicated like I did for so long, you wake up one day to realize that this parenting journey was a blur.?
Let me encourage you today.? You still have time to impact!? The moments change but become richer.? We laugh more these days, we share more, and we are training them differently as we adapt to them growing up.? They also keep me more accountable on my words and actions.? It’s an amazing season.?
Dads, it’s your time to shine from ages 6 to 12.? To speak about moral authority, confirm identity, and mold them in faith.? Don’t miss this stage!? The more you build trust here, the more influence you will have in their teen years as their peers take over.? You may not be able to rock them anymore, but they will want to be with you!
If you missed this stage completely (as I almost did), don’t beat yourself up or do nothing. ?You will have to pivot, apologize and work real hard to rebuild trust and increase intentionality.? But it’s doable.?
Do you want to become a more devoted dad??
Check out my new course I just launched titled “Becoming Dadvoted” for practical, repeatable and tangible steps to help guide you to be just that.?

Here is a testimonial from Chris S. of Stuart FL:
“The Dadvoted course blew my mind when it showed a timeline of the “mom impact” and the “dad impact” years.? This totally changed my perspective on how I saw these different years.? If you want to build a lasting impact on your family….Get this course!”
The launch promo of 50% off ends at the end of the month, so act now!
Invest in yourself today so you can impact tomorrow before it’s too late.
