26 weapons grade parenting tips: 1/ Give them a "heads up," 5 minutes until bedtime, 10 minutes before leaving the playground 2/ Look at the world more through their eyes 3/ Don’t discipline like an angry madman. Stay calm and firm, model how you want THEM to resolve conflict 4/ Let them argue their case respectfully. Teaches negotiation and critical thinking 5/ Skip the long lectures 6/ Use natural consequences: forgot homework? Let them explain it to the teacher. Forgot their lunch? They'll figure it out 7/ Be consistent and follow through. "We are leaving the playground if you don't stop..." 8/ Make "How can I help?" part of YOUR vocabulary. It builds reliability 9/ Share your unseen efforts: hustling for work, hitting the gym. Actions speak louder than words but when they can’t see it, TELL THEM 10/ Teach accountability by modeling it yourself: “I was wrong. sorry” 11/ Create family traditions like weekly movie nights, Sunday pancakes, whatever works 12/ More game nights 13/ Take an interest in their interests: video games, books, sports... do it with them. 14/ Hike together. Nature slows time and generates gratitude 15/ Build something. LEGO, puzzles, a fort, the Amazon delivery box 16/ Teach them skills: tie knots, start a fire, read a map 17/ Introduce chess or checkers. Start early 18/ Let them plan a family outing or navigate you there (they can get you through the airport) 19/ Always greet your wife with love. That moment sets the tone for the family 20/ Share some challenges (age appropriate) 21/ Respect their privacy. Knock before entering their room 22/ Teach the value of money early: "wants vs. needs," compounding, saving, etc 23/ Let them see you sweat 24/ Teach them to cook. Start small: eggs, pancakes, cookies. Embrace the mess 25/ No screens at meals ever 26/ Prioritize movement as a UNIT: family walks, workouts, hikes, dance-offs- whatever gets the everyone in synch

I've been on this earth 32 years and I still don't know the proper response for when someone knocks on the bathroom stall I'm using.

If you feel like you're bad at your job and it's making you depressed, just consider that, as the investigation of the recent heist revealed, the password to access the Louvre's videosurveillance system was "Louvre".

This is literally what all guys want
