Ignite Your Fatherhood Journey
Dad Edge Summit
Digital distraction is a critical problem for parents today. It seems like social media, tech, and video games are hijacking our kids’ lives, but what if the amount of time our kids spend on devices is a symptom of a much deeper issue?
Nir Eyal reveals the true source of the problem, and it’s not what you think…
We’re just beginning to understand the impact of the internet and smartphones on society. The long-term effects technology has on our kids’ wellbeing and development is even more alarming, leading to mental health issues and addictive behavior.
Today we have a fascinating conversation with our previous guest, Cal Newport, the author of Digital Minimalism. He joined our Dad Edge Alliance Mastermind to answer questions from everyday dads about kids and tech.
Cam Adair from GameQuitters.com back on The Dad Edge. He is a former gaming addict who now helps kids and their parents find solutions for gaming addiction. He tells us how we can set healthy limits and boundaries around video games, and what activities we can implement into our daily lives to make sure our kids are fulfilled and less susceptible to compulsive gaming.
We had Cam Adair on The Dad Edge for the past two episodes to talk about how devices affect our brains and what we can do to mitigate unhealthy habits when it comes to our digital lives. Cam’s interview inspired me to make some changes in my own home when it came to devices. Listen to what happens when you take away your kids’ devices and how it can change your family life for the better.
Video games are part of almost every kids life, but there is a difference between playing for fun and using them to replace real life. In this episode, TEDx speaker Cam Adair talks about his experience with gaming disorder. He also tells us why video games are so addictive, how to recognize the signs of video game addiction in our kids, and how parents can set healthy boundaries for gaming.
In today’s show, we have Chris from our Dad Edge Alliance. He grew up in LA hanging out with gang members. Now he’s a husband and a dad to a son and a daughter. He tells us how he disconnects from work and makes every day special for his family.
The mission of the Dad Edge is to empower men to live and lead legendary lives. The Dad Edge empowers men to create legendary marriages, create epic connections with our kids, master our personal finances, optimize our health (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual), and become a leader within their family.
