On this episode of the Brainy Moms podcast, Tal Eyre joins Dr. Amy and Sandy to talk about how dads can better connect with their kids. Tal is an expert in positive psychology and is the author of the book, “Dad Mode: 25 Ways to Connect With Your Children" and he talks about the difference between “dealing with” and “feeling with” when it comes to parenting, as well as how to address your own childhood baggage through “shadow work” to be a better parent. Hear about the different types of parents and why most psychologists are in agreement about the best type to raise happy and well-adjusted children. Find out more about why apologizing is important, what “capitalization” is and how to respond to maximize feelings of engagement with your kids, and why being a connected partner and parent has been shown to be a defining factor in the health and happiness of men.
