Your extraordinary marriage starts here: www.thedadedge.com/25questions

Today, in this debut episode of Friday Fatherly Fumbles, First Downs, and Field Goals, Larry Hagner shares intimate insights from his personal fatherhood journey, emphasizing that parenting is a learnable skill rather than an innate ability. Through candid stories of his own parenting challenges, including moments of lost patience, he draws a compelling parallel to Navy SEAL training to illustrate how fathers can develop emotional regulation and composure in challenging parenting situations.

The episode kicks off this new weekly series by delving into his passionate perspective on two crucial aspects of family dynamics: the importance of prioritizing marriage alongside parenting to create a strong family foundation, and the vital role of building genuine connections with children through meaningful engagement.

Drawing from his own experiences, Larry emphasizes that while parenting mistakes are inevitable, the ability to repair and learn from these moments ultimately strengthens family bonds and creates lasting relationships.
