Now, if you are a parent of a young adult, you know that they know everything!!
Many times, this is when a male child starts pushing boundaries with their parents, especially their father, as they begin to assert their independence.
We see this in the animal kingdom frequently.
The male wants (needs) to be on his own.
This is a time when males will establish their sole identity and purpose in life.
It is extremely important that there is a strong foundation of support, encouragement and guidance to ensure the right path is taken. The transition into fatherhood can be both scary and exciting. I have witnessed my husband, my son and my son-in-law transition into fatherhood. Each one has their own unique way to embrace the experience, but fathers they did become! With fatherhood comes unique challenges and rewards. Some challenges include → Less me time → Greater responsibility → More ways to serve significant other → Now an "in your face" role model Some of the rewards are →Unconditional love →Being needed → Opportunities to serve significant other →Being a role model See, it is all about perspective. Midlife transition includes navigating changes and reinvention. Often times, men are on the quest for meaning and fulfillment if they do not already have it. This can cause challenges in career, relationship dynamics, and physical health. It can lead to what is commonly called, 'midlife crisis." Men often need strategies for embracing change, finding purpose, and cultivating resilience in their life during this transitional time. A coach can really help a man through this transition to ensure he does not "shake up" his life and leave it in shambles. Having a strong foundation of self and understanding your value and purpose will help you through this pivotal point in life. Aging: Embracing Wisdom and Legacy I will explore the transition into older adulthood and the significance of aging with grace. Know the importance of reflection, acceptance, and intergenerational connections and strategies for maintaining mental and physical well-being, leaving a legacy, and embracing the wisdom of age.
