I know the feeling of being a Dad at the onset of a 10 year old. I will await the changes and deal with them as they reveal themselves. One question though that I find very little response to, is how do you deal with a son, who shows little to no empathy or feelings, except for when it benefits him personally? Would love to see an article about this question someday.

I also have an impending 10 year old. The fact that you do take that quiet time out is what he will carry with him for the rest of his life. Hopefully what you’re actually saying sinks in on a subconscious level but by having that special 1 on 1 time, you are instilling some core values in him about the importance of family and taking the time to listen. He will always remember talks with Dad. Bravo!

I’m wearing my mommy hat here and saying “I totally get this.” Life and our children can pull us away from/out of our work grind into hard core reality.

I’ve only got a toddler right now but I found myself jumping off a business call and into the car when I heard she needed something at her babysitter’s house. Everything was fine, but it has sent today’s productivity into a tailspin.

I never thought I’d drop everything for someone else. Now I’ve got 2 people who are more important to me than anything else in the world – my husband and my daughter. Now that is a mean right hook to this businesswoman’s brain!
