The philosophy on becoming an Unconditional Dad relies heavily on the teachings of Carl Rogers and Miller & Rollnick’s contributions to Motivational Interviewing.
An Unconditional Dad is:
Dads avoid arguing. We seek to understand.
Dads are not dictators. We guide our kids by giving choices and supporting their decision making.
Dads don’t get frustrated when our kids are stuck. We know indecision is a natural part of growth and change.
Dads don’t always have to be right. Our skill is in guiding others to helpful results.
Dads serve as providers full of compassion and love.
