Culture & Kids: Racial Identity Unpacked
Description
This week on Father Time with De'Meco & Blair, we're honored to host Jay Corpuz, a devoted husband, father of two, and a strong supporter of the Ateneo Golf brand! Get ready for a deeply engaging and often hilarious conversation about the real deal of fatherhood, cultural identity, and raising the next generation.
Jay kicks off our famous Top 5 Fictional Fathers segment, sharing his picks and revealing how these characters shaped his own parenting philosophy. De'Meco then brings us this week's Forgotten Fictional Father, highlighting a rom-com dad who embodies realistic new father struggles.
We dive deep into the unique challenges and joys of raising mixed-race children, including navigating racial identities and the importance of truly being present. Jay opens up about a relatable moment where his son's unfiltered honesty about his "big belly" sent him straight to the gym – a laugh-out-loud moment every parent will understand!
The conversation also tackles the tricky balance of coaching youth sports and the fine line between pushing kids and understanding their individual learning styles. Blair shares a comical story about his daughter's "Pacific Northwest white chick" dance moves and the honest conversations he has with his wife about developing their child's skills without hurting confidence.
From disciplining with love to the profound impact of a father's presence, this episode is packed with personal stories, cultural insights, and vital lessons learned. Tune in for a heartfelt and funny discussion that emphasizes the need for open communication, strong communities, and embracing every facet of our children's identities.
