To celebrate the podcast achieving 21, we have created two lists that are crucial to keep in the “mind database” for dads.  While we set out to include 21 items in both lists, there was simply too much too include that we had to expand the lists.  Jason’s friend Kevin joins this podcast to help provide input on the lists.  We suggest you study these, keep them as reference, and use them as guidelines on what NOT to say.  Good parenting usually indicates to focus on the positives rather than the negatives, but we just want to be sure dads are aware that these statements shall NEVER leave your tongue.  Please feel free to comment or provide your suggestions to add to the lists.  While you can listen here, we also provided links to the blog post for each list.
