I have dubbed this blog site, "The Interpretors." The Interpretors are parents (my intended audience is focused on fathers, but mothers and future parents are openly welcome), who have maybe struggled to sort through their role in a child's life. A number of issues can cause this. We can be inundated with a specific theory about parenting that has us entirely vacuumed into one ideal of father/motherhood. We can carry with us a number of presuppositions from our own experiences growing up. This either engages us to the "T" or we may determine to do the exact opposite of what our parents did with us. Each can be equally ineffective or effective depending on the quality. Another quandary when it comes to the role of parents, most specifically fathers, is that we have heard so much information about how to raise kids, but it rarely works out like we thought it would with our own children. Many more factors contribute to the confusion we all experience in our roles as parents, but we can be hopeful that help is on the way!
The Interpretors are therefore fathers who realize that we have an immense task ahead of us and need all the help we can get. We are dads who want to be the best we can be at what we are now responsible to do as fathers. We are intrigued by our mission, which is to convey purpose to our children and to teach them truth. We want to grasp every opportunity to give our children's lives meaningful opportunities to grow and to take every moment as a chance to teach them something new. We are fascinated with the concept of being a hero to our kids and desire to take chances to build a positive relationship with them that we may not have had with those who raised us. We are maybe uncertain about how to do all this, but are noble enough to admit that it can be done with some guidance, wisdom, and solid resources. Interpreting our children's experiences is how we help them learn what every event in their lives means, and how it can be effected from one context to another.
This site is devoted to conveying whatever information, resources, and insight I have into the fathering role. I am open to communicating other's advice as well!
