Eric Fehr
Dad to 3 Kids (Ages Newborn, 3, and 5)
“There are countless resources for Mothers online these days and while they are certainly needed, Dads need a place of their own.

Dads are more involved in their kids lives than ever before, so it’s time for a site to come along to support guys who want to actively be a part of their kids lives as well.”

It also provides a way to memorialize and celebrate the ways and experiences we’ve connected through as a family.”

Creating an Annual Dad Plan
Given all your responsibilities as a Dad, an Annual Dad Plan is the single best way to to identify, plan and actually accomplish all you want to do with your kids in the year ahead. Every year of childhood is so distinctly different. And the experiences of what they think is fun and what you want to teach them changes drastically from year to year. We’ve got you covered.
Every year on New Years Day and Father’s Day we’ll send you an email with some simple ideas to get you started. It basically includes is a list of fun things you want to do together for the year, life lessons to share given their specific ages, and any “Dad Goals” you have for the year (being more patient has been on my list multiple times).
We’ll give you plenty of ideas so you can pick and choose and see how good it feels to know that even though you have a million things going on, you have an Annual Dad Plan set for the year ahead!

Taking an Annual Dad-Kids Trip
One of the best traditions to start with your kids is an annual trip with just the two of you. An annual trip is truly one of the best ways to bond and creates a sense of excitement in the planning and preparation just as much as the trip itself. You can plan the trip for just you and one of your children or do it with all the kids. It’s entirely up to you but the goal is to create special Dad bonding experiences that the kids will look forward to and always remember as they grow up.
If you’re asking why you should plan an annual Dad-Kids trip, the answer is because life is too busy. With consuming work schedules, never-ending school drop-offs and pickups, kids’ sporting events and activities and all the other time-sapping daily routines, there is always something competing for your time. By getting away with just one of your kids or all of them, you’ll remove any distractions from the equation and turn it into 100% quality time to focus on activities and bonding experiences.

Starting a Monthly Daddy Day
One of the best ways to spend quality time with your children is by setting up a Daddy Day or Dad Day (depending on the ages of your kids) when you schedule a set day and time each week (or month) to do something together, just the two of you.
It can be anything from making Sunday morning breakfast together to leaving work two hours early on Wednesday afternoons to be with your kids when they get out of school or even spending a full day on the third Sunday of every month doing special things together.
The most important key to Daddy Day is having a set time each week or month so your kids can look forward to it and you can discuss what you are going todo beforehand (or keep it a surprise). Turning it into a ritual has the added benefit of showing your kids that you are making time just for them. Trust us, put this “new tradition” on the calendar every week or every month at the exact same time. It feels so good and is so much fun to look forward to (for everyone).
And when you sign up for WonderDads we’ll email you new activity ideas every month that you can do together. From “Ramen Noodle Day” to “Your Favorite Video Game Challenge” to “Bubble Gum Blowing 101” to “Virtual Australia Trip” to “Mini Road Trips,” we’ve got a never-ending list of ideas for all ages that will make them a blast. You’ll look back someday and realize this new tradition will be one of your best memories of the childhood years.

What’s Your Dad Identity?
Every Dad needs a Dad Identity - something that makes us unique in our kid’s eyes. It can be a lot of different things, and it is never too early or too late to develop one, but every Dad needs something that makes his kids feel like, “My Dad is really great because of (xxx).” A Dad Identity is also something that may get updated or changed as your kids get older. You may have a slightly different identity for each of your kids.
It is really about finding something that resonates with your kids and makes them feel special and glad that you are their Dad. Having a Dad Identity also has a dual purpose. First of all, it makes us feel like a good Dad. Seriously, when you hear your child telling someone, “My Dad and I did (xxx)” or as I occasionally hear my 10-year-old excitedly tell his friends on Wednesday afternoons, “I can’t come over, it’s Wednesday and I have Daddy Day,” my heart swells with pride. It’s something that stands out in your children’s minds as something for just you and them. It’s not to say you can’t have all the family traditions and customs you want, but you also need something just for you and your kids.
When you join, we'll send you personalized for your kid’s exact ages, at exactly the right times throughout the months and year, empowering you with new habits and traditions that help you go above and beyond embracing each and every one of the childhood years before they’re gone.

Why Birthday Letters are the Best Gift Ever to Give Your Kids (Someday!)
Birthday letters are an incredible way to create a priceless gift to someday give your kids. Basically, every year on each of their birthdays, find 30 minutes to write them a letter chronicling the last year of their life. Share everything from funny anecdotes to achievements to memorable moments.
When writing the letter, think about what specifically happened over the past year that really stood out. Did your child accomplish a new skill? Was there a special occasion like turning 7 or maybe a school dance? Did anything particularly embarrassing happen? Did you go on any special trips? What were some of the goofy and funny moments you still laugh about?
Your letter may be a half page, a full page or even longer. It really doesn’t matter, it is all about writing things down in the moment and preserving some of the best memories of the year prior. Make this a yearly tradition and collect them all. Then when your child heads off to college, present all of the letters as a special book right before they leave. This may end up being the most memorable gift your child will ever receive. This simple tradition will become a priceless gift and give you a couple extra moments every year of feeling like the great Dad you are while you are writing the letters.

The Porn Conversation, Cryptocurrency & Other Life Lessons
We are trying to help Dads tackle the tough conversations - alcohol, drugs, racism, sex - but also the new breed of tough conversations that are usually just ignored or left to fate - porn, screen-addiction, mental health, sexual consent. While schools are doing a better and better job on yesterday’s tough conversation topics, it still helps to hear it straight from Dad. And for sure we all need new ways to address these new issues, they are real, and you don’t want to leave it to chance to see how things end up.
And on top of this, we want to be able to “teach” our kids about new things or simply important things. From investing in the stock market (and doing a game together on investing), to budgeting (with their allowance), to even cryptocurrency and what the heck it is (ironically all those “gems” they buy in video games are a virtual currency already!), we’ve got you covered.
Our Life Lessons “one-pagers” will cut to the chase on how to explain it in a casual (and funny when possible) way that hits home for them. We are doing our research right now with thousands of WonderDads to get their input and suggestions so we can turn that into byte-size knowledge you can use yourself.

WONDERDADS ALERT - TikTok Blackout Challenge
There is currently on TikTok a “blackout challenge” happening that encourages users to hold their breath for an extended period of time. And even if your child doesn’t have a phone or isn’t on TikTok, there is still a strong chance a friend with a phone or older sibling could show them. Clearly this can have serious consequences, even life-threatening, and we encourage you to discuss it with your child and tell them not to do it under any circumstances. Don’t leave it to chance, be a WonderDad and have the conversation with them TODAY.
Don’t leave it to chance, join WonderDads today and get our incredibly helpful Dad Alerts!
