dads. what's the key thing that we've got to do in getting the job right? >> well, there's no one key thing, there are several things, but at the core of it is the involvement of the dad and emotionally in the lives of his children, but really, there are some principles, i think, that are key to helping raise healthy, well adjusted kids and surprisingly, the first thing, i think you need to focus on your marriage, interestingly enough. i told couples all the time. 75% of good parenting is a good marriage. if you want to be a great parent, have a good marriage and invest, and don't pull away when troubled times come to give time to your kids. and important to quip yourself with good fathering tools and one of the reasons i'm excited to be with you today. to talk about my dad, but being a good parent is not instinctive, you don't naturally become a good parent.
8:30 pm
good parenting is learned, so, for dads, i would say that there are lots of good tools and equip yourself with good fathering tools. then i think a great tool is, you need to father with what i call the do as i do rule, not do as i say. because your character and your example is the best thing you can give your kids and then lastly, the reason i wrote the book modern day knight, i teamed up with some other dads and raising your sons, we had seven sons between us, we raised those seven sons together and the good news is, they turned out reasonably well, they're not in jail. >> well, you know, you talk a lot about relationships, not just with your kids, but with other dads and even the app you created is really about a way to develop relationships in small group studies, accountability groups where you're not just out there by yourself. you're learning from other dads and other dads are holding you accountable. why is that so important? >> because life is so fast and dads, we, we men tend to be
8:31 pm
real focused and can get so focused on our jobs and so focused on our careers that we forget that the little things of everyday life is what it takes to be a great dad. >> mike: if i'm the father, fortunately, my kids are all grown, in 30's not teens. if i had a 16-year-old driving me nuts and what 16-year-old doesn't drive his dad nuts. >> exactly. >> mike: what would you tell me, dad to dad to say, here is something you ought to do that would better build that relationship with your son? >> one of the things things is, when your son moves in the teenage years, you have to change your role. you move from being a coach, kind of a head coach, where you can bark the orders, to you have to move to being a cheerleader, because, what a son most needs is not to be overcoached, if you start coaching him like you did when he was pre-teen,'s he going to start drawing back,'s going to start reacting to you and rebelling against you. but, if you'll pull back on that, change gears and become a cheerleader, start pointing
8:32 pm
out to him over and over again, what he does well. after a game, rather than running up like, i wanted to do and tell my son, you know, if you'd just run that pattern better you would have caught three more passes, instead come to him and say, i love the effort that you're getting. you're doing great, son. and when you cheer for your son, your heart, and that's the key, with the son, your hearts begin to draw together and i think that's why at the end of the old testament, the last thing in the coming change of a culture, that the hearts of dads would turn back to their children. it's that heart connection that comes through cheerleading and encouragement during those teen years that makes a huge difference with a teenager. >> mike: well, it's great advice. and people can get the app and they can also get the book, raising a modern day knight at your website, robert, thank you very much. i've known dr. robert lewis for a long time and know many of the men that have used the materials to help themselves to become much, much better
