Summary

Today we speak with Allen Carter, author of Letters from a Father, a collection of letters Allen wrote his children as they were growing up. This concept of writing your child letters sounds simple, but as you’ll hear, the impact can be tremendous.

We discuss:

The benefits of writing letters to children
The importance of engaging with children in meaningful ways
The value of reflecting on shared experiences
The importance of self-reflection and self-improvement for fathers
The role of vulnerability and authenticity in communication with children
The impact of technology on communication with children
