Yeah, I would agree with you that it's being, you know, I like to think of it as parenting as a team sport.
That's one of the articles in the book.
Being a team sport doesn't necessarily mean we're all doing the same thing, but it means that we all have this role to play and our role makes us better as a team.
And I think, as silly as it sounds, these kinds of sports analogies when it comes to parenting can be kind of helpful because it puts...
something that may feel very foreign to a man into something that might actually be more easily understandable.
Oh, we're talking about not that mom is the coach and I'm the player because that's not the dynamic we're looking for.
We're talking about both of us being on the same team with each of us having an important role to play and each of us making a difference to the success of our team.
which is our family, right?
So part of the way you do that, right, one is communication.
And obviously, the man needs to be willing to do this.
I mean, dad needs to be willing to be involved.
And so we're making the assumption that it's not so much that dad doesn't want to be involved, but dad is
either worried about it, anxious about it, or lost, just doesn't even know how to begin.
You know, maybe that this differently wired child has just kind of thrown him outside of his comfort zone in terms of what he anticipated.
So, you know, I think one of the first steps is communication.
And that communication really ought to be more in the terms of
how do we help each other do better?
Not, hey, you said you were going to be involved and now you're away, right?
That kind of more attacking approach is going to make it much harder for him to admit his vulnerabilities, to open up about the challenges that he's facing.
So I think obviously communication is one of the most important keys.
