What challenges prevent dads from being the father they want to be?
When men start to think that maybe they don't need to be part of the process, they forget how important they are. They forget the role they play. And I think it's easy for them to kind of drift away because they think, well, I'll just make the money. I'll just provide for my family the way that my dad did and my grandfather did and my grandfather's grandfather did without realizing what they're losing.
Welcome to Tilt Parenting, a podcast featuring interviews and conversations aimed at inspiring, informing, and supporting parents raising differently wired kids. I'm your host, Debbie Reber, and this week I'm talking with family and marriage therapist and the author of Fatherhood in 40-Minute Snapshots, Jeremy Schneider. In our conversation, we are going to get into how dads can be the parent their differently wired child needs. I feel like I need to say a few things about this week's topic before we get to the show. First, I want to acknowledge that in the two and a half years I've been doing this podcast, I have released several episodes specifically geared to moms, while this is the first show that's specifically geared to dads.
I also realize that sometimes the conversations may come across as being more relevant to moms than they are to dads. This is partly because the overwhelming majority of the audience for the show and who is active in the TILT community is women. That's just the reality. And I know that there are many fathers who are part of this tribe. And I also know you are a critical part of this equation in most families. So if you are one of these dads, I know you probably sometimes feel left out of the conversation. And I know this because some of you have told me so. So thank you, first of all, for sharing that with me. And I want to make sure that this show serves your needs as well. So I have a favor. If you are a father listening to this show and there are things you want to hear about or perspectives that you're missing that would support you and help your family's,
will you please let me know if you have suggested guests you want to hear from on specific topics that are relevant to you within this broader conversation, please email me and share them. And I will do my best to meet those needs and bring those guests onto the show. With all of that said, I'm excited to share today's episode because I so enjoyed this conversation with Jeremy and we covered a lot of ground in talking about what accepting a differently wired child may look like from a dad's perspective and how they can best support who their child is. I hope you enjoy it. And before I get to that, I want to take a minute to thank two new supporters of the TILD podcast. Thank you so much, Monica Wagenberg and Anna Harris.
I am grateful to you for your support of this show and for helping me cover the cost of its production. Because of listeners like Monica and Anna, I can pay my editor Donna and I can also pay Stacey who has recently taken over getting the transcriptions ready. And I can focus on finding and interviewing guests and doing all the other Tilt Parenting related tasks. And I've got some really great guests coming up in the coming months, including a conversation with KJ Del Antonio, former editor of the New York Times Motherload section and author of the new book, How to Be a Happier Parent. Andrew Solomon, author of the incredible book Far From the Tree. And Scott Barry Kaufman, who's an author and psychologist and expert in neurodiversity and creativity.
