I've thought about the risks of pursuing my dreams so much, and for so long, that I'm an expert in stagnation. Since kids learn by example, I'm changing my approach.

I was prepared to roughhouse with my son — and then we had two daughters. Here's why I roughhouse with them and why it's important.

I didn't grow up in a very religious household, but I always liked prayer. Now, I'm teaching my kids the benefits of having a reflective practice.

And why you should too.

It's painful to watch my daughters grow up so fast. But it's a good reminder to be the father I want to be and not have any regrets.

We've all had dreams go unrealized, goals we didn't meet, but that shouldn't turn us into dream-crushing dads. Here's how I encourage my kids to aim high.

No kid is good at everything, but every kid is good at something. Finding that something is a parent's job.

The ticker tape of thoughts unspooling through my head tells me that I'm not worthy of the life I've created for myself. That creates a real hazard for my children.

Father's Day is great — it's an honor just to be called "Dad" — but it's the ordinary moments that I now cherish.

A dad of delicate sensibilities shares the disgusting things his daughters have done to make him gag.
