Connecting Through Creativity: A Dad's Guide to Unforgettable Moments

Ever wonder if you're creative enough to truly connect with your kids? You're not alone. In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Craig Parks, a musician, camp director, and father of two, who's on a mission to help parents tap into their inner goofball.

Craig shares his journey from running summer camps to creating a 70-episode variety show with his daughter during lockdown. We dive into:

• Why creativity isn't just for "artsy" types (and how every dad can unleash their silly side)
• The power of getting eye-level with your kids for better communication
• How to turn everyday parenting moments into unforgettable memories
• The unexpected benefits of singing silly songs during bath time and bedtime

Plus, Craig reveals his "Parenting A to E" method, a foolproof way to boost your parenting effectiveness through body language and voice control.
