His Kid Gave Him an F-YOU! Screensaver - Here's What Happened Next

Published: Sun, 08/19/18

Hey,

Since I don't have kids, I don't normally give much parenting advice. Although the "man skills" I teach are totally transferable to parenting nothing beats a great true story to illustrate a point.

My buddy, Jeff, told me a story today about his unruly 15-year-old who went ballistic when Jeff took his phone away.

I don't just mean ballistic. I mean all out warfare.

What do you do when someone with a 15-year-old mindset and maturity does something so outrageous that you feel like throwing him through a wall?

I found out the answer today when Jeff shared this great story. I love how he handled it.

Jeff Allen is the owner of The Allen School of Self-Mastery. He helps frustrated dads and their sons who are debilitated by anger, anxiety and emotional shutdown. These fathers and sons learn a whole new way of being more present and self-aware. Jeff teaches them critical coping and thinking skills to be more like cool, calm Ninja's than emotional, over-reactive basket cases.

The result?

More confidence. More maturity. More connection. More father and son fun! Bottom line: More love.

Instead of me typing out the story, I asked Jeff to tell you about it in this video we made while having lunch in Fort Collins.

I love this guy and his passion for helping dads and their boys.

How to Handle a Raging 14-Year-Old Like a Ninja Dad

How does this apply to conflict with your wife?

I'm hoping that is self evident.

It is not about being her "daddy". It's about staying in your cool, calm, confident "ninja skin" and stop over-reacting.

You need to be more present and aware of what's REALLY going on.

This is the critical skill of maintaining composure while standing firm around your principles.

It involves more listening than talking.

Most of all...it requires patience. Mountain Lion patience.

You can do this. You must.

It's your ticket to self-induced happiness and peace of mind.

And it totally changes the dynamic is ALL of your relationships.

If you're ready to finally get the confidence, clarity and skills to move like a ninja in your life and relationship, maybe you should ask for help.

Check out Jeff's website and services if you relate to his story.

"Real men" actually CAN ask for directions. (though I still resist it until it's absolutely necessary!)

You can also go to THIS CONTACT FORM to request your private, one-hour "Find Your Inner Ninja Consultation" with me or Coach Dan Dore in the UK.

Some guys say this hour is more beneficial than their last 5 marriage counseling sessions.

Lotta love, brother,

Steve

P.S. Another thing men tell is changing their marriage is a $7.99 tool called a book. This is what a reader sent me the other day:

I can see what has happened because you put it out there. I am not telling you that I have figured out what to do, but I can tell this:

I know how my thinking and being led me to where I am today in my relationship with my wife.
I know what needs to be different to allow my relationship with women in my life to be healthy.
I do have a complete desire to be a great man and I woke up this morning and began the process of making that change.
The bleeding stops today.

It's called "Straight Talk Tools for the Desperate Husband". Get it HERE.

And if you just can't get it - for any reason - tell me and I'll send you a free PDF.
