351: Why Good Dads Retreat (And How Mothers Can Help Them Step Up!)

Welcome, Impactful Parents.

It's time for the Impactful Parenting Podcast, where I give you parenting tips and resources to make you a more impactful parent to

your school-aged child.

I am your host, Christina Campos.

Have you ever asked your partner to help around the house or with the kids only for it to turn into a debate, a shutdown, or a full-blown argument? You're not trying to nag.

You just want a partner who's as invested in the day-to-day as you are.

So why do so many... good, well-meaning men retreat when we want them to step up.

Hello, my name is Christina Campos, and I'm founder of The Impactful Parent, and I help parents of school-age children who want to be one step ahead of their kids to turn their chaos into connection with their adolescent.

I'm a mom of four, a teacher that's taught every grade from preschool through high school, and today I help moms and dads like yourself to navigate that exhausting, confusing, frustrating,

but rewarding world of parenting.

So welcome to The Impactful Parent.

And today we're talking about how to close that gap and build a stronger parenting team.

And joining us is Dr. Vinyamin Rothstein, author of A Real Man's Guide to Becoming a Terrific Dad.

And Dr. Rothstein is here

to share what's really happening behind

the male withdrawal

and why good dads struggle.

And mostly, and most importantly, these practical ways that mothers can encourage a greater father involvement to come out of him And so that we're not acting what we're criticizing and we're shaming and we're starting another fight.

No, we're going to get some help today, ladies.

So welcome to the stage.
