5X Dad: How-To (READ FIRST)
I’m glad you’re deciding to try something new for your family! They’re worth it, and so are you!
Here’s the great news, it’s going to be doable! The intent of 5X Dad is to give you simple, actionable steps to guide you in building a joyful, positive culture for your family. One in which your children and partner can thrive and you can be proud of.
Here’s what 5X Dad looks like in action:
Five Weeks: Materials, activities, and coaching will be given on a series of themes. Each theme lasts Five weeks. Examples: Encouragement, Variety, Fun, Gathering, Grace, Generosity, Service, Empathy, etc…
Five Days: You’ll be given a task which should only take a few minutes a day. You commit to doing this 5 days a week most weeks (some weeks will involve less days). You’ll also be given ideas for accomplishing that task. Some weeks are as simple as giving a compliment to each family member. Other weeks will involve doing something silly and fun. Each task is designed to be achievable. I believe small steps, taken consistently over time, lead to great destinations.
Each five week theme will have a kickoff and each week will have some encouragement for you, the task for the week, and ideas on how to accomplish that task.
The tasks will be simple. It’s the results that will be profound. Welcome to 5X Dad and a new step for your family! I’m so glad you cared enough to take this first step. It has the potential to create ripples for generations.
