Summary
In this week's episode, a listener asks for Andy's best advice for a first-time dad. People will tell you they'll grow up fast…and that's true. • As an older dad, Andy paid attention to every moment he could—and his boys still grew up fast. "Discipline them while they're young, or you'll ruin their lives." – King Solomon • Be harder on your children when they're little so they know to follow your first request. • This will strengthen your relationship with them as they grow older. • They'll learn to practice self-discipline at an early age. Tune in this week to hear what Andy always does with his kids every night (even now that they're older).
