When it comes to looking back on life after retirement, we’re probably all familiar with that one thing NOBODY says:
“I wish I’d spent more time at work.”
Gen X fathers interviewed for DAD.CEO said their biggest regret in life was not spending more quality time and being more present with their kids during their childhood.
So why is it so difficult to commit enough time to be truly present with our kids?
TODAY’S BLURRED BOUNDARIES
A 2023 article in The New York Times discussed how fathers raising their children pre-pandemic already wanted to be more involved than their own fathers had been.
COVID-19 then upended how we organized our work, home, and parenting routines. Lines became blurred, creating a new normal where work continues to intrude into our personal lives.
This has led to a new endemic challenge – one that transcends geography, culture, or race. How do we build a presence with our children?
A NEW CURRENCY FOR MODERN DADS
When it comes to being a dedicated dad, we’re all CEOs, but are we truly acting like leaders today in shaping our children’s futures with our presence?
We all know that saving a bit of money each week or month, compounded over years, can accumulate to a significant sum.
What if INVESTING WITH PRESENCE in your child were to become the new emotional currency? A currency that – when compounded – means we’re not only improving our children but improving ourselves?
In short: TIME + PRESENCE = DUAL GROWTH
INTRODUCING THE DAD.CEO APP
Technology can be a brilliant thing for capturing and managing those moments.
“As a busy working dad, I found myself juggling several apps just to keep my top priorities in check – finances, health, meetings, etc. But then it hit me. I had nothing to help me plan and make more time with my daughter before she turns 18. I knew I was not along in this struggle and that was the reason I created DAD.CEO.”
