Little old ladies punching out library cards, smelly, obscure books no one really read, and worn-out beanbag chairs that had lost a few too many beans. Who needs it?  We dads do more

SavvyPack: Raising Savvy Kids of Strong Character

  1. heart savvy
  2. body savvy
  3. character
  4. street savvy
  5. mission savvy

A day will come when we’ll be through with leaky diapers, refrigerator drawings, and college applications. Did we keep the main thing the main thing? Raising Savvy Kids brings a long-term, thoughtful perspective about what may matter most: raising savvy kids of strong character.

Kids with Heart Savvy are able to express the full range of their emotions appropriately and constructively. They are aware of how emotions impact their decisions & relationships and can navigate their emotional landscape.

Kids with Body Savvy know how to take care of their physical bodies. More so, they are sensitive to how their physical health can significantly impact their creativity, relationships, and outlook on life.

Kids with Character may look like anyone else. Only when faced with difficulties and decisions does this inner strength shine through. They handle discouragement like a pro, keep their word, value others and themselves, and don’t take themselves too seriously.

Kids with Street Savvy know how to interact with others in a positive way. They know where to go for help and resources, are reflective about trends that impact their world, and are keenly observant about themselves and others.

Kids with Mission Savvy are equipped to accomplish and enjoy the mission they’ve been given in life. Aware of how the world “out there” works and savvy with specific skills, kids can achieve their potential & find meaningful work for a lifetime.

I continue to get emails from new fathers that basically all ask: what is your advice?  So, let me open it up here.  What 1 or 2 key tips would you share with a new dad?  What did you wish you knew when you first started out?

My 3 year old only wants Mommy.

My 3 year old does not want my help at night. She wakes up and wants Mommy. If I try to to help my wife and comfort our daughter, she ends up throwing a fit because she wants Mommy. She will spend up to an hour in her fit until my wife goes to her room and rocks her back to sleep. Does anyone know what I can do to help my wife and get our daughter to accept my help?
