Raising Kids in Australia

They're already in the house. Ella is sixteen. Jack is thirteen. This is not a book about getting ready. It is about the hour after work, the table, and a Saturday when you want to coach from the fence.

What it is

Leave the job on the step. Eat with them. Stand on the sideline like you've already got a job. When you make a mess of it — and you will — come back the next day and don't give a speech about how hard you work.

I wrote it short on purpose. You can get through a chapter after they've gone to bed and still get up for work.

Inside

  • Boots off. Phone down. The job stays on the step.
  • Eat at the table. Phone stays in the kitchen.
  • Saturday sport without coaching from the fence.
  • Walking back in the next day.

Who it's for

Dads who already live there. Not first-time-dad theory. Not a speech about kids these days.
