In this extremely personal talk, Dean Grazio­­si uses the lessons he learned
 as a busy dad to illustrate how the rules of parenting can guide your overall
 success. Much of his advice is about tending to the little things—simply paying 
attention to the world around you. He openly shares the consequences of tunnel
 vision, like the time his young son icily left the room after Graziosi split his 
attention between his phone and a Lego creation. Or the time he almost 
missed a bonding moment with his daughter that taught her how to solve 
complex social problems at school.
These stories are all part of Graziosi’s “8 Things That Make Me a Great Dad”:
  1. Pay attention to how you make them feel.

  2. Enter their world and finish sentences in their head.

  3. When problems arise, find the root cause. Don’t assign blame.

  4. Be authentic and enthusiastic.

  5. Tell fun stories with empowering messages.

  6. Reward good behavior unexpectedly.

  7. Be the person you want them to be.

  8. Be the observer of your thoughts. How do they affect those around 

  9. you?

He encourages us to magnify the traits that create great families—like authenticity
 and e­­nthusiasm—in all that we do.

“I'm so authentic with my kids, I'll do a

 parenting

 moment and screw it up. I literally

 tell my 

kids, 

‘Listen, I'm reading this book, Love and 

Logic 

Parenting

and it’s told me how I should handle this, and 

I handled

 it completely wrong.’ Then I'll redo it.”
