139: Hoops & Heartbeats: Balancing Basketball Fandom and Fatherhood- Erik L.

In this episode of the Young Dad podcast, the hosts discuss various topics including their sponsors, their favorite basketball teams, the NBA playoffs, and the WNBA. They also talk about the impact of players like Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Plum in the WNBA and the drama and storylines that make the league exciting to watch. The hosts also share personal stories and aspirations for their children's future careers. Traveling with young children can be intense, but there are strategies to make it easier. Bringing snacks, games, and toys packed in their own bag can help keep kids entertained. Preloading tablets with movies and games can also be helpful, as well as downloading content for offline use to avoid paying for Wi-Fi. Setting limits on how much stuff kids can bring can help prevent overpacking. It's important for parents to be present and patient with their children, especially during important moments like sports games. Balancing personal and parental responsibilities is key, and understanding each child's love language can help strengthen the parent-child bond.
