And in fact, I think most dads over crank that one of like not paying attention to how their

body language can feel a little ominous and intense to their kids, even though it might not be to them.

What's up, guys? Welcome back to Five Minute Fatherhood. So we have a Facebook group for Five Minute

Fatherhood. Lots of great conversations. and someone just recently posted something in there that

really got me thinking, I want to talk to you more, Jeff, about this. He wrote, so in a podcast

from a little while ago in training children, I think it was Jeff who brought up the power of

getting down to eye level with your kids so that you are not invoking fear in them.

Do you think there would be a difference in getting down on their level or picking them up and bringing them up to your level?

So this is a great question.

What is the body language that a father should have with regards to their child?

It does that matter?

So you have kind of the, you know, I am, you know, 10 times bigger than you and I'm going

to stand and, you know, there's the authoritative stance.

There's the, I'm going to get down on your level stance.

I'm going to bring you up to my level.

Jeff, have you thought about those different ways of just how you're, what does it communicate

to your kids? Well, I feel like it's exactly what you said

of, you know, the just be aware that body language communicates something and, you know,

a lot of research backs this up. We obviously know. Um, my position tends to be the, the, the,

they already probably know I'm the authority. You know, there's already, that that one is reinforced a million times a day, you know, at some

level.

So I don't, I don't feel like it's ever necessary to do something particularly to enforce that.
