Many fathers carry the heavy burden of providing for their families while simultaneously managing a household, often feeling powerless when their attempts to control behavior fail. Geoff Owen, author of The Parenting Assumption, joins us to explore “the father effect” and why great dads often struggle when they stop trying to control their children. Geoff shares his unique journey from the world of professional theater to becoming a leading voice in biologically aligned parenting. We dive into how to move away from outdated "solutions-focused" methods and instead foster a natural, peaceful environment where children can thrive. If you’ve ever wondered why your best efforts at discipline feel like a losing battle, this conversation offers a profound shift in perspective that will change the way you show up for your family.Love the show?
