Today, in this week's Friday Fatherly Fumbles, First Downs, and Field Goals, Larry Hagner tackles the crucial question every father faces: how to be the person your children turn to first with bad news. Through his unique two-part approach of "marathon and sprint," he explains how our reactions to our children's vulnerable moments become the deciding factor in whether they'll trust us with future challenges.

The discussion focuses on transforming those critical moments when children share mistakes or difficulties, demonstrating how to shift from being a punitive figure to a trusted confidant. Larry shares practical strategies for responding to everything from poor grades to serious mistakes, emphasizing that our children's willingness to be open with us in the future is shaped by how we handle their vulnerability today. Through personal stories and actionable advice, he shows how fathers can create an environment where children feel safe sharing anything, ultimately building stronger, more trusting parent-child relationships.
