Simple Way To Make Parenting Easier

Strategy to make parenting or any other inevitable life challenge a little easier.

Being a dad is easily the most important and gratifying role in my life. It changed me. It gives me purpose. It’s also really frickin hard.

The days are long but the years fly by.

We only stress about the things we care about and most parents don’t care about anything more than their kids. Keeping them safe, cultivating experiences, teaching them life lessons, being a good role model, balancing life’s priorities, providing, maintaining presence, staying rational and regulated during the hard moments, it’s all extremely challenging. 

One thing is certain, parenting is hard. Inevitably, stressors are going to be present daily in a variety of ways when you’re responsible for a little human being.  

There’s a simple way to make parenting (or anything else in life) much easier: do hard shit on purpose! The only way to become better prepared for the inevitable shit life is going to throw at you is to intentionally do hard shit on purpose.
