Anger is such an important emotion, one that needs to be acknowledged and talked about. And as Dads, we can be great role models in helping our kids manage this feeling.

Ever since I can remember, my father was a walker. He walked with us on his shoulders and a leash in his hand. On his own, he walked for over an hour most days. My friends’ parents would often say to me, “I saw your dad out walking in his fur hat.” As a teenager, I don’t remember ever joining him for one of these long walks, I would have seen no value in that at the time.
