Dad Tip of the Day: Be a Little Dangerous

Dad Tip of the Day - When it comes to playing with your kids, be a little dangerous.

As a dad, I feel we need to push the envelope and do things with our kids that make others nervous. Safety is important though, so know your own limits before you go too far and end up hurting yourself or kids.

A little danger is important as it can help kids overcome fears, gain confidence and have some extra fun. Introducing danger in a responsible manner can help kids understand safety and responsibility as well. Plus, it can make you a pretty cool dad.

Personally, I have enjoyed climbing some trees with little Jacob, going kayak fishing, and wakeboarding, among other slightly dangerous activities for a 2 year old.

Here is Jacob practicing his tree climbing:

Here is a video of Jacob and I wakeboarding together:

You get the idea.... Be a little dangerous!
