Are We Raising a Generation of Gambling Addicts? Sep 21, 2026

Show notes

Sports gambling is no longer relegated to casinos in Las Vegas or Atlantic City. It’s in your pocket, available to everyone—including kids—through apps, websites, and even online video games. In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to discuss the potential impact of early exposure to gambling and what dads can do to help their kids understand the risks.

Why This Matters

Kids need to understand how gambling works, why the odds favor the house, how gambling can become compulsive, and why hiding gambling or chasing losses can damage trust and relationships.

Key Takeaways

1. A study from Common Sense Media found that 36% of boys ages 11–17 reported gambling in the past year.

2. Early exposure can normalize gambling and make risky behavior seem like harmless entertainment.

3. Dads can help by talking openly about gambling, teaching how the odds work, paying attention to what kids are doing online, and creating an environment where kids can tell the truth.

Practical Tips For Dads

1. Start the conversation before there's a problem. Don't wait until you discover your child has placed a bet.

Ask questions like:

“Have you ever seen a sports betting ad?”
“Do any of your friends talk about betting?”
“What do you think about sports gambling?”
“Have you ever seen gambling in a video game?”

The goal isn't to interrogate your child. It's to make sure they know they can talk to you.

2. Teach your kids how gambling actually works. Explain probability, odds, and the fact that gambling companies are designed to make money.

3. Pay attention to what your kids are doing online. Know what games they play, what apps they use, what they're watching, and what their friends are talking about.

4. Create an environment where your kids can tell the truth. Your child needs to know that if they make a bad decision, they can come to you.

5 Things Dads Can Do When They're In Over Their Heads Sep 14, 2026

Show notes

Whether it's the demands of work, the responsibilities of fatherhood, marriage, or simply facing a situation that feels too big to handle, every dad will eventually find himself overwhelmed. In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to talk about what dads should do when they become an overwhelmed parent.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Feeling overwhelmed can become an opportunity. Dads can learn to slow down, acknowledge when they're struggling, and gain new wisdom when parenting gets hard.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

1: When you're overwhelmed, relax and slow things down so fear doesn't take over your ability to think clearly.

2: Admit when you're in over your head. Acknowledging reality isn't weakness, and failure isn't the end.

3: Face the challenge, learn what you need to learn, and ask others for help and wisdom.

PRACTICAL TIPS FOR DADS

Relax. Take a breath, step away from the situation, exercise, pray, or do something that helps calm your nerves and restore perspective.

Admit it. Be honest when you're overwhelmed. You don't have to maintain an image of invincibility or pretend you can fix everything yourself.

Face it. Ask, “What am I going to do about this?” Take responsibility for the situation and determine what you may need to change—or say no to.

Learn. Study the problem. Seek information and learn from people who have successfully navigated similar situations.

Ask for help. Seek advice, support, and wisdom from people who have experience. Asking for help isn't weakness; it can help you become a better dad.

Your Kids Know You Love Them—But Do They Know You Like Them? Sep 07, 2026

Show notes

Do your kids know you love them? Probably a safe bet that they do. But do they think you like them? That’s a much different question. In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to talk about the difference between like and love and why dads must make it their mission to ensure their kids know they’re liked.

Why This Matters

Most dads would say they love their kids. But love and like can feel different to a child. Kids need to know that Dad doesn't simply provide for them, correct them, or show up for their activities—they need to feel that Dad genuinely enjoys being with them.

Key Takeaways

–Loving your kids and liking your kids are not always communicated in the same way.

–Kids experience our attention more than our intentions, so distraction and exhaustion can weaken connection even when we mean well.

–Curiosity, laughter, and listening are simple ways dads can communicate, “I like you.”

Practical Tips for Dads

1. Create connection-only time. Choose a moment in the day when the goal is not to correct, teach, or fix—just enjoy your child.

2. Like them out loud. Tell your kids specific things you like about them, such as “I like how your brain works,” “You're really fun to be around,” or “I like hanging out with you.”

3. Be intentional with your facial expressions. Let your face communicate that you're glad to see your child when they walk into the room, come home, leave for the day, or do something they love.

What Changes When Dads Are Involved with Kids Schools? Everything. Aug 31, 2026

Show notes

School-related things have traditionally been handled by Mom, but the research is clear—when dads get involved in a kids’ education, those kids thrive in the classroom. In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by National Director of Chapters for All Pro Dad, Jason Hood, and Pasco County (FL) School Superintendent Dr. John Legg, to talk about why everybody wins when dads get engaged with their children’s schooling.

Why This Matters
Kids whose dads are involved in the education process have more success in school, are typically more confident students, and exhibit fewer behavioral problems.

Key Takeaways

·Dads Are Welcome: Dads don’t always plug in at school because they feel uncomfortable, awkward, or uninvited. But dads don't have to be education experts to make a difference. Simply showing up tells your kids that their education matters.

·Presence Creates Connection: Something as simple as driving your kids to school can give dads valuable one-on-one time to listen, tell stories, ask questions, and build a relationship. Consistency matters because those everyday conversations can eventually open the door to deeper conversations.

·Dads Must Be Intentional: Whether it's attending parent-teacher conferences, meeting teachers, helping with school projects, or joining or starting an All Pro Dad Chapter, dads can find simple ways to become a consistent presence in their kids' education.

Practical Tips for Dads

1. Start by showing up. Take your kids to school or pick them up when you can, meet their teachers, attend conferences, and look for opportunities to be physically present at school.

2. Use the time you have to build connection. Don't turn every car ride or school conversation into an interrogation. Tell stories about your own experiences, ask natural questions, listen, and be consistent enough that your kids learn that Dad is genuinely interested in their lives.

3. Find a way to plug in. Look for an All Pro Dad Chapter at your child's school, or ask the school administration about starting one. You don't have to have everything figured out—just take the first step toward becoming more involved.

Should Dads Be Thinking Differently About Bedtime? Aug 24, 2026

Show notes

The most important part of your child’s day is often the way it ends. Bedtime can easily become rushed. Not because it doesn’t matter but because dads get tired or have other things on their minds. How can we make those final few minutes memorable? In this episode of the All Pro Dad podcast Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to explain why the bedtime routine matters so much and how dads can make those moments count.

Why This Matters

Kids may not remember everything that happened during the day, but they'll remember how they felt when Dad said goodnight.

Key Takeaways

1. Bedtime is an emotional landing strip.
This part of the day offers children the chance to process emotions, feel secure, and strengthen their connection with Dad.

2. Connection matters more than efficiency.
Rushing bedtime may get kids to sleep faster but slowing down builds memories they'll carry for years.

3. Intentional routines create lasting impact.
Simple, repeatable bedtime traditions communicate safety, consistency, and unconditional love.

Practical Tips for Dads

1. Slow things down.
Build in an extra 10 minutes, put your phone away, and avoid treating bedtime like another task to complete.

2. Create one repeatable connection point.
Read together, pray, ask one meaningful question, develop a special handshake, or create a family tradition your kids will anticipate every night.

3. Let older kids talk when they're ready.
Teenagers often open up late in the evening. Even if they're too old to be tucked in physically, they still need to be tucked in emotionally.

Why Kids Stop Listening to Their Parents Aug 17, 2026

Show notes

Have your kids ever ignored you? Disobeyed you? These can be challenging moments for dads. We all want our kids to listen to us. What happens if they stop? In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to dive into how dads can become the kind of people their kids trust and listen to consistently.

Why This Matters
Kids are far more likely to embrace a father's wisdom when they trust his character.

Key Takeaways
1. Credibility is built through consistency.
Kids notice when our actions don't match our words. Living out what we teach earns trust, while hypocrisy quickly destroys it.

2. Influence grows when we listen more than we lecture.
Children are much more receptive when they feel heard. Asking thoughtful questions and genuinely listening often teaches more than lengthy speeches.

3. Trust is strengthened by honesty, humility, and conviction.
Being truthful, admitting when we're wrong, holding healthy boundaries, and respectfully engaging differing viewpoints make dads the kind of leaders kids naturally want to follow.

Practical Tips for Dads

1. Listen before you teach.
Ask questions, seek to understand your child's perspective, and resist the urge to immediately lecture or solve every problem.

2. Live what you believe.
Be consistent, tell the truth—even in small matters—and admit mistakes quickly. Authenticity builds long-term influence.

3. Hold firm convictions with humility.
Maintain clear boundaries, stay open to learning, and disagree respectfully without dismissing your child's thoughts or concerns.

How to Raise Kids Who Think for Themselves Aug 10, 2026

Show notes

Kids aren't dumb—they're developing. But in a world of endless stimulation, many children never slow down long enough to think past the next TikTok craze or YouTube short. In this episode of the All Pro Dad podcast, Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to talk about why thinking deeply matters and how dads can intentionally develop that skill through critical thinking activities for kids.

Why This Matters

Kids who learn to think critically become wiser decision-makers, better problem solvers, and more thoughtful adults.

Key Takeaways

1. Critical thinking develops over time.

Kids naturally think about what's directly in front of them. Development plays a major role, but dads can help move them from simply reacting to actually reasoning through situations.

2. Today's world makes deep thinking difficult.

Constant stimulation, shorter attention spans, fewer kids reading for fun, and the disappearance of boredom all work against developing thoughtful children.

3. Dads can intentionally teach kids to think.

Critical thinking isn't just an academic skill. It helps kids consider consequences, understand different perspectives, solve problems, and make wise decisions throughout life.

Practical Tips for Dads

1. Create a slow-thinking environment.

Reduce constant stimulation, allow boredom, limit screens, and introduce activities like chess, books, and uninterrupted conversations that naturally develop deeper thinking.

2. Ask better questions.

Instead of giving answers, ask open-ended questions like:

"Why do you think that?"
"What do you think happened?"
"What would you do differently?"
Follow-up questions teach kids how to think, not just what to think.

3. Stretch your child's time horizon.

Help kids connect today's decisions with tomorrow's outcomes. Talk about future goals, long-term consequences, and the kind of person they want to become.

Kids Benefit From Difficult Experiences. Here Are a Few. Aug 03, 2026

Show notes

Not making the team. Getting a poor grade. Going through a breakup. All of these things are hard experiences for kids. But, there is value in navigating difficult things. In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to discuss how kids benefit from hardship and how dads should resist the urge to rescue them.

Why This Matters
Kids don't develop resilience by avoiding hardship—they develop it by learning to overcome it.

Key Takeaways
• Difficult experiences often become our greatest teachers and shape character.
• Waiting, boredom, failure, and struggle help children develop patience, perseverance, and emotional maturity.
• Dads should walk alongside their kids through hard moments instead of trying to eliminate every obstacle.

Practical Tips for Dads

1. Practice gratitude by helping your family recognize the growth that can come from difficult seasons.

2. Empathize with your child's struggles without immediately trying to solve every problem for them.

3. Offer wisdom and encouragement while allowing your child to work through challenges on their own.

What About You Will Your Kids Repeat Or Reject? Jul 27, 2026

Show notes

Remember those things your dad did that you didn’t like? How about what you enjoyed? Have you repeated them now that you’re a parent? Or did you make a change? In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to discuss our parenting habits, what they mean to our children, and think through the things about us our kids will emulate or eliminate.

Why This Matters

Every interaction with your kids is shaping the kind of parent they'll become someday.

Key Takeaways

· Children naturally imitate far more of our parenting than we realize, both the good and the bad.

· Harshness, absence, and constant pressure often become the behaviors kids intentionally reject later in life.

· Listening well, showing up consistently, and apologizing when we're wrong create a legacy worth repeating.

Practical Tips for Dads

1. Identify one parenting habit your kids may someday want to eliminate—and begin replacing it with a healthier response.

2. Prioritize presence by showing up consistently for everyday moments, not just major milestones.

3. Model humility by listening carefully and apologizing when you've handled a situation poorly.
