Kids Are Facing Things We Never Did

<p>The other day my kid came up to me and asked a question that every dad feels in his chest:</p><p>“Dad… are you proud of me?”</p><p>What he told me next stopped me in my tracks.</p><p>He had been talking with a friend who was struggling with suicidal thoughts, and in that moment he chose to pray for him and remind him that those dark thoughts weren’t who he was.</p><p>It was one of those moments that made me incredibly proud as a father — but it also forced me to face something deeper.</p><p>Our kids are growing up in a world very different from the one many of us grew up in.</p><p>They’re exposed to more.<br>They’re carrying more.<br>And they’re facing battles earlier than we ever did.</p><p>In this episode of <em>Fatherhood Unscripted</em>, I talk about that moment, the reality many kids are facing today, and why the role of fathers matters more than ever.</p><p>Protect your kids online with <strong>Bark</strong><br>Get 15% off at checkout using code <strong>UNSCRIPTED</strong><br>👉<a href="https://www.bark.us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.bark.us/</a></p><p></p>
