They are always watching
Kids copy what we do, not what we say.
Day 29 of writing for dads
Become a better dad,one day at a time
I'm Alfred, a hands-on dad of two, building a small business around my family. I'm no expert: I lose my temper at bedtime like everyone else. I write about what helps me do better the next day.
- Saturdays to Thursdays
- A short reminder to be more patient and present.
- Fridays
- A longer letter about one thing I'm trying or learning.

What dads read most
When patience runs out
Bedtime battles, meltdowns, bad days.
The years are short
Slow down before they grow up.
What to teach them
What schools and AI can't teach.
