Being a dad with better taste than your daughter's future boyfriend! Entrepreneurial dads talk about parenting

A group of entrepreneurial dads gathered together to talk about "how not to let your kids get away with it", which is not a common sight. The new education company "Little Man Primary School" invited entrepreneurial dads, including AVEDA founder Zhu Ping and BoniO CEO Ye Bingcheng, to talk about fatherhood and parenting.

"What can we talk about when we are alone with our children", "What should we do after asking our children's questions", "When I hear my father on the phone, I, as a father, am embarrassed and want to look for my mother", they are usually entrepreneurs and business executives on the stage, but they took advantage of the holiday to shed their working identities and meet to seek solutions for parenting, and to discuss how to be a father of "taste". This is a gathering of dads organized by the new education company "Little People's Primary School", which invites cross-border dads to drink beer and talk about their rarely disclosed "parenting experience".

Talking about parenting is not just for moms anymore. According to 2018 *** statistics, about 60% of the families in Taiwan are double pay families, although the regulations provide that fathers and mothers can take parental leave, but only nearly 20% of the fathers apply for parental leave without pay allowance. Society is still dominated by female childcare, and the "SENSE DADDY Project" of the Little People's Primary School can be said to have been organized specifically for the purpose of increasing fathers' links and resources for childcare. "I think the circle of fathers needs partners. They usually talk about work, but not necessarily about children, but life is actually the same thing," said Jie Chen, founder of Little People Elementary School and a Buckle teacher.

Dads sat on lazy bones, sofas, and reclining chairs, and were required to change seats with each theme, with the task of getting to know at least three dads.BoniO CEO Yeh Beng-cheng was also in attendance, emphasizing the importance of children learning fast: "The big companies that kids will be applying to in 15 years' time are the same start-ups that don't look at academic qualifications now," he said.

"If dads' motivation for learning is work, give them a field where they can talk about work," said Jie Chen, who understands the needs of the audience well. In order to enhance the participation of dads, Little People Elementary School packaged the hands-on workshop with "industry". The team invited industry leaders and cross-generation fathers to participate in the seminar, including Zhu Ping, the 70-year-old founder of Kemon AVEDA in the beauty salon industry, Yeh Chien-Han, the founder of iDrip in the technology industry who is a serial entrepreneur, Yeh Beng-cheng, the CEO of BoniO in the education industry, and Feng Yu, the person in charge of IF OFFICE in the design industry. The audience was mostly composed of executives of new startups and the technology industry. The combination of this magnificent lineup is also evident in the entry fee for the Little People's Elementary School Dads Circle, where the lowest threshold referral fee costs $3,500 and attracts nearly 20 dads to participate.

The "workaholic" dads, who are usually full of business talk, showed some "contrast" when discussing parenting. The question of what to talk about when you are alone with your child was a big hit. The question provoked a heated discussion. Some dads are jealous of their mom's ability to talk to their kids about campus and showbiz gossip; some cast adoring glances at their mom, "My wife is great, she can talk a lot with the kids"; and some speak up for the role of dads themselves, "We're all about efficiency, and we need to go straight to the heart of the matter," dads nodded their heads in sympathy.

But how do you break through the dilemma and create a conversation with your child? The father of the mastermind is a master of his own craft. The founder of the Miscellaneous School, Mr. Su Yangzhi, said jokingly that starting from the child's hobbies, for example, "how to 'trick or treat' to mom? Then you can make an alliance with your child and discuss ways to achieve the scaring effect while minimizing the damage. In the case of the "I'm not sure what I'm talking about," he said, "I'm not sure what I'm talking about, but I'm not sure what I'm talking about, and I'm not sure what I'm talking about, and I'm not sure what I'm talking about.

The speakers also mentioned the importance of "creating exquisite parent-child time" as a key to bringing the relationship closer. The first time I've seen a new dad do this, I've created my own lullaby to put my kids to sleep, and it's been used as an authentication code for the parent-child relationship since the kids were old enough to know it.

Kenmon AVEDA founder Zhu Ping called on young dads to "make new changes to break the cycle of the traditional role of fatherhood," such as making two dishes that only dads can cook, and taking their children to do crazy and fun things to create wonderful memories of their dads and children.

"Children's tastes are also taught from family memories," Feng Yu said. He urges dads to raise their "enemy awareness" and play up their taste in family life to be more tasteful than their daughters' future boyfriends. How to do this? He mentioned that fathers can dress more carefully, and can refer to Japanese men's fashion magazines, such as "OCEANS", "UOMO", "BRUTUS", etc. And routine elements of life should not be forgotten. And routine elements of life do not forget to contain aesthetics, to catering, for example, can be divided into purchasing, food, wine, tableware, cooking and other elements, and disassembled into different units of aesthetics, through the involvement of its background knowledge, enriching the aesthetics of family life.

"The most handsome dads are gathered here," said Jie Chen proudly. Attendee Yeh Chien-han also commented, "When I see my own children when I get home, there is a burst of love and anticipation. The team is happy to see that the dads have a ****talk after the meeting and bring the parenting guidelines back to their families, and has forecasted that it will expand and hold a second Dads' Circle gathering in February next year. The team is looking forward to discussing education and parenting issues in a more in-depth manner at the gathering. "The function of the Dads' Circle is to change oneself, and when one identifies as a father, one will be a more sensible father and do more things," said Jie Chen.
