As a little girl raised by a single dad, I adore this piece. Actually mad eme smile several times. It would be interesting, to ask your children how they see you...might be a pretty insightful conversation. I would love to see how your Reset goes. Please share!
This hit close to home. The shift from "dad who knows" to "dad who's willing to try" is such a powerful reframe. That toilet repair saga, watching you fail, learn, curse, and try again, might be the most valuable lesson your boys ever get. Tim Taylor's legacy wasn't the perfect fix; it was showing his kids that figuring things out is the real skill.
What's one thing your boys have watched you struggle with that ended up teaching them more than if you'd gotten it right the first time?
AMEN TO ALL OF THIS!! I love teaching my kids how to fix things. Sons and daughters, I don't care.
In my case, I teach them how to not fix things first THEN how to fix things.

I appreciate the comment! Honestly, I don’t fix much the first time, so they get that opportunity a lot!
Love the approach. I try to do the same thing with my kids - being present and working with them are major game-changers and the kids notice!
Totally agree. Being in it, with them, is so much better than going it alone.
I loved watching this show as a kid. Your article has helped me see Tim Taylor in a different light. You made a lot of important points. Great job!
It was such a fun show! I am excited that you left a comment on this one and that Tim might look a little different know with our dad glasses on.
