Dear Son, Tell Me Who You Are | DSP Ep 53 w/ James Johnson #fatherhood #identity #peerpressure

Enjoy the visual experience: https://youtu.be/Ij2CYiwvCF0 Dear Son, tell me who you are! I see what you are doing, but is that really you? I'm not sure how many households are addressing this, but it is critical for our children to understand the difference between their actions and their character. Adults struggle with this as well. As men, we often lead an introduction with our (job) title. "Hello, I'm Joe, Sr. Manager of blah blah blah." In this episode, we have a transparent conversation about the dangers of not knowing who you are as a parent and how that can impact your children. We explore the challenges of the internet age and how information outside of the home outpaces the information provided inside the home. Considering that challenge, we had to evaluate whether the children are willingly conforming to behaviors that don't accurately reflect who they are, or if the pressure is so great that they don't see any other way to be. We highly recommend that you consume the entire episode for the best results. Also, meet us in the comments or tag us with your opinion on social media via the links below. As always, we welcome your perspective. It takes a village. #fatherhood #daddyissues #accountable #blackfathers #fatherandson #blackexcellence Three tips to help children deal with peer pressure 1. Talk to a trusted adult - Having a supportive and understanding adult to talk to can help children find the strength and courage to stand up to peer pressure. 2. Practice saying no - Role playing with a trusted adult can help children practice responding to peer pressure in a confident and assertive way. 3. Spend time with supportive friends - Spending time with friends who share similar values and beliefs can help children stay away from negative peer pressure. Encourage your child to make friends with peers who can be a positive influence.
