He gives examples as to what we as fathers should do when we have those correctable moments but we didn’t handle it in a way that the child we really learn from their mistakes. He teaches us how we can recognize the different invitations your child gives to build a better bond. We talked about how a child picks up on the emotion in the room and what you should do about the times big emotions show up.
