As men, we can often feel burdened by the responsibilities of home and work. So much so, that our ability to have fun is affected. This then impacts the way we connect with our kids, especially when it comes to play. We may even begin to view play and fun as an event, as a product, instead of as the valuable pursuit of joy and wonder.
But just because dads have serious stuff to take care of doesn’t mean they don’t get to have fun anymore. With the right approach, dads can become leaders who bring joy and play into their own homes even as they take care of work and other responsibilities.
In this episode, Dr. Mike Rucker shares what happiness really is about and how to be the bearer of joy in their own families.
