You Love Your Kids — So Why Does Connecting With Them Feel So Hard?

About this episode

You show up. You provide. You'd do anything for them — and somehow your kid still seems just out of reach. That gap between loving your children and actually feeling close to them is one of the most quietly painful things fathers carry, and almost no one talks about it. Dr. Josh Davis has spent his career studying the emotional intelligence piece most dads were never taught. Perry Solomon learned it the long way — through grandfatherhood. Together they're naming what's really happening between fathers and their kids, and what it actually takes to close that distance. You'll learn: 🧠 Why connection feels harder than ever 💛 How to get inside your child's mind 👴 What grandfathers uniquely give kids 🎯 Boundaries without losing your cool ✨ Why presence beats perfection 🌱 The mealtime ritual that builds confidence  Connect with Josh Davis, PhD!🌐 Website: https://www.joshdavisphd.com💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshdavisphd🐦 X : https://x.com/joshdavisphd📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JoshDavisPhD📚 Books: The Difference That Makes the Difference and Two Awesome Hours Check out Perry Solomon's book, Grandpa Day Learn more about your ad choices.
