Comments 0 Comment

I’ve got a father daughter dance coming up at my daughters’ school this week (that picture is from last year’s!). First, let me say, I look forward to these every year. However, as an introvert, these functions can be a tad scary. So I figured, for the folks in my shoes, I’d provide a little bit of a school function survival guide for introverted parents. School functions are an integral part of parenting life, but for us introverted parents, navigating…

Stress Management For Dads

The well-being of everyone is important. But most specifically, stress management for dads is important since it affects the whole family. Indeed, as dad’s, we’re expected to provide for our families. We need to be the rock who everyone can rely upon. But what happens when we’re having mental health issues.

The holidays should be fun. You (hopefully) get time off from work. The kids are home from school. Family and friends you haven’t seen in god knows how long are scheduling visits and get-togethers. But the holidays are overwhelming for people like me. I…

To Be An Introvert And A Good Dad

I am many things; but I’d say I define myself as two things above all: An introvert and a dad. Yes, and a spouse as well! So three things. But I digress. The daily challenge is navigating how to be an introvert and a good dad at the same time. In a previous post, I mentioned that it’s ok to be an introvert. Because it is! You should never have to change who you are. But as a parent, we…

Being An Introverted Parent To Extroverted Kids

Comments 0 Comment

One day while dropping off my daughter at dance class, I overheard one parent say to another parent that it’s really challenging being an introverted parent with extroverted kids. That hit me. I thought to myself, yes. Yes it is. That’s me too! I was so happy to hear that there are more of us out in the wild. It’s tough out there in this world that seems made for extroverts. But it’s ok! We can be who we are,…
