How will your multicultural children grow and progress ?

Imagine them in their mid-20s

Good image?

Good.

Now listen to how Japanese-British
Jamie has turned out.

I think you’ll be impressed.

There’s hope for thriving multicultural futures in examples like Jamie.

Listen up Dads!

It’s the newest episode of the Dad Club Japan podcast.

Hosts Duncan & Joel discuss how little recognition they received on Father’s Day.

But sometimes the greatest heroes are those who go unnoticed.

Have a listen !

Japan's Immigration Ministry used to call June:

"Month to Combat Illegal Foreign Workers"

with a huge sign in Shingawa station encouraging people to view alien workers with suspicion

It was too loud of a racist dog whistle
so they toned it down
added a mascot 😀

Had a great time with a bunch of dads this past weekend

There are few things more satisfying as a father than watching your older child reading a book to a younger sibling.

Listening to your children with enthusiasm and interest is a sure way to gain their respect

I've seen too many parents more concerned with their online social interactions than with their own children

Put the phones down and play with your kids

Camping with two boys, sharing a double mattress

Midnight fights

Thinking,

Well, I think I’ll sit outside and drink this wine

@TheRealJapan1 Japanese efficiency and cleanliness and attention to detail.
North America leaves a lot to be desired in those areas.
Also, I appreciate the level of Japanese service without expectations of tips.

Hosted the first Japanese dad on the podcast last week. His perspective was a welcome addition. That episode will be coming soon.

I think this #cancelculture has gone too far. Even this poor hand dryer has been cancelled. 😞

I Have NOT Been ANGRY at my kids in over a week.

It's a big deal for me: tangible positive changes.

I have a few strategies for diffusing tough times, which I’ll get into here.

But first, to all the parents out there, I’ll take your compliments now.

Thank you.

[Dad Club Japan @DadClubJapan]

To recap how I avoid getting angry at my kids:

・ cold showers for mental training
・ sharing feelings
・ a child’s perspective
・ recalling trauma from my own childhood

Not always easy to apply, but well worth the effort.
