You planned the perfect dad moment — maybe teaching your kid how to grill, fix a flat, or budget their allowance — but they’re just not into it. It’s not just disappointing… it hurts.
In this week’s episode of DadSchooled, we tackle the heartbreak of trying to pass on life skills our kids don’t seem to care about. We explore why it matters so much to us, what to do when it doesn’t land, and how to keep the door open for connection even when the interest is low.
🛠 What we cover in Episode 19:
A real story of a dad moment that flopped
Why we tie our identity to what we pass on
3 reminders to stay calm, faithful, and connected
A word of encouragement from Proverbs 22:6
A practical challenge for letting go without giving up
👨👧👦 This episode is for every dad who has ever walked away from a “teachable moment” feeling unseen or discouraged.
📢 Challenge of the Week:
“Offer a skill — and if they’re not into it, let it go with grace. The seed is enough.”
