Fatherhood Field Notes Ep. 551: Patton Dodd - Redeeming Absence for Presence and the Subtle Art of Windshield Time
In this engaging conversation, Patton Dodd, author of the recent book The Father You Get: And the Ones You Make, Believe In, and Become, shares his insights on fatherhood, personal growth, and the power of windshield time with your kids.
Dodd reflects on his journey through the challenges of growing up with a removed and isolated father who created hurt and pain in most of his relationships and growing up to turn that into resolve. He emphasizes the significance of vulnerability and mere presence in building connections with his children, while also addressing his own insecurities. The discussion highlights the need for fathers to create safe spaces for open conversations and to rebel against the insecurities that can hinder their relationships with their kids.
