Be the best version of yourself. Be better than your ex.Not just slightly better. Your goodness has to completely shadow her badness. If your ex is at -5, you have to be at 6. If your ex is -10, you have to be at 11.

On this episode, I outline several steps I took in order to undo the brainwashing and alienation my children were exposed to. The general steps I took are below. All links to websites do NOT have affiliate links so I'm not getting paid for any of them. This is just what I've done, and what I bought.
Buy children’s books that focus on parenting (whatever gender you are). Bonus points for focusing on the specific relationship (father-daughter, mother-son, etc).Buy custom books. I used Wonderbly. https://www.instagram.com/wonderbly/?hl=enBuy custom-shirts. I forget the vendor I used, but this is the shirt I got. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1706642294/custom-the-legend-of-dad-shirt-best-dadListen to your children’s favorite songs. Sing along with them.Play video games, especially one-player games where you figure things out. Don’t play 1v1 or games where you fight each other.Go outside, go adventuring. We look for acorns, go fishing, go hiking.Buy them gifts. Doesn’t have to be expensive. Examples of things I bought my kids that they loved:https://www.amazon.com/Treasure-Multicolor-Diamonds-Drawstring-Decorations/dp/B093LJ2PX9https://www.amazon.com/Metal-Pirate-Coins-Doubloons-Realistic/dp/B0821QY292Make them friendship bracelets.Let your kids see you do grown-up things.Do things that show your kids you’re thinking of them when they’re not with you.Talk to your kids about general things in life. Read them bedtime stories. Anything from children’s books to Lord of the Rings.Buy them a stuffed animal, something they can sleep with. Most powerful thing I've done ==> Sing them lullabies and caress their hair while they’re falling asleep.Volunteer at their school. And let them see you volunteer.
The most important thing to do is to start getting overnights. Then you can do these things a lot more effectively.Email me at [email protected].
