After running dozens of Squire classes, I’ve watched hundreds of fathers and sons work through their relationships.

And you know what’s interesting?

I keep seeing the same mistakes pop up over and over.

Hell, I made these exact same mistakes with my own son.

But here’s what’s crazy…

Most (if not all) fathers don’t even realize they’re making them.

I share this with you because these mistakes aren’t just hurting your relationship with your son…they’re shaping the kind of man he’ll become.

Mistake #1: We’re Too Damn Quick To Fix Everything

Every time our sons face a challenge, we jump in with solutions. 

We think we’re helping, but what we’re really doing is teaching them they can’t handle problems on their own.

We’re raising sons who’ll always look for someone else to bail them out.

Mistake #2: We’re Trying To Be Their Friend Instead Of Their Father

Look, I get it. We want our sons to like us.

But they don’t need another buddy. 

They need a leader.

A mentor. 

A father.

Someone who’ll hold them to higher standards.

When we try to be the “cool dad,” we rob them of the guidance they really need.

Mistake #3: We’re Not Showing Them Our Struggles

We hide our battles, thinking it makes us look strong.

But all we’re doing is teaching them that real men don’t face challenges.

They grow up thinking they’re the only ones struggling, that something’s wrong with them when things get hard.

When fathers understand these mistakes, everything changes.

I’ve seen these mistakes play out HUNDREDS of times at our Squire classes. 

But I’ve also seen something amazing:

For a full day from sunrise to sundown, each father-son duo creates one of the most memorable experiences you could have.

Each father and son shared laughs, cries, and hard conversations. 

But by the end of it…

…both father and son understand what it means to be a protector and a provider.

Most importantly, they left with a bond stronger than ever.

It’s an experience they’ll never forget, and one they’ll talk about for years.

If you want to make sure you’re not making these mistakes with your son then join us at the next Squire class.

Talk soon,
