What’s in it for me? Create unbreakable father-son bonds and raise confident, brave men.

They say that it takes a village to raise a child. But what happens when that “village” includes some of the world’s most formidable warriors?

Eric Davis is a decorated former Navy SEAL and father of four children who he parented using exactly the same principles. He practices parenthood with the patience and precision of an elite sniper. Every underlying factor is addressed. Every action serves a purpose.

In Raising Men he chose to focus on raising boys to become men because, he says, fathers have become more and more absent from parenting since the Industrial Revolution. He posits that tradition, heritage, and “the art of manhood” are no longer passed down from father to son. To overcome that, today’s fathers must not only teach their sons to become men but must also become men themselves.

If you want to be a better father and form an unbreakable bond with your child, this Blink to Eric Davis’s Raising Men will teach you to parent using the Navy SEAL principles of courage, respect, and perseverance.

Are you ready to find out how? Then let’s gear up!

Monitor your child’s progress and make them a team player.

Parenting and SEAL training may seem worlds apart but bear with us. Both require mental and physical endurance and a never-quit attitude. It’s all about survival at first. But in the long run, parents and SEALs want to build strong teams. And, just like in SEAL training, parenting involves teaching children to cooperate with others and take responsibility for their actions.

The connections between SEALs and parenting run even deeper. For instance, when SEAL divers are submerged, they rely on their teammates to keep them safe. Similarly, in the early stages of parenting, parents must be their child's dive buddy. But their child picks new dive partners as they mature.

So parents need to keep watch and ensure their child is “tethering” with good people. After all, parenting is more than just setting up playdates and watching from afar. So whether you’re coparenting or going it alone, you must be their dive instructor.

Are you ready to take the plunge? Okay, here’s a step-by-step plan for developing a strong team player.

First, focus on details. Pay close attention to your child's behavior and attitudes. Correct them as needed, and reward them when they make good choices.

Second, stamp out arrogance. Teach your child the value of humility and the dangers of conceit. Help them understand that making mistakes is a normal part of growing up.

Third, stay vigilant. Keep track of your child's activities, friends, and hobbies. Ensure they’re making sound decisions and staying safe.

Fourth, adapt. Adjust your parenting methods to meet your child's changing needs. Give them advice and support as they navigate the complexities of their surroundings.

Parenting can be tough, but you can make it easier. So start by building a strong and confident team.

In the next section, we’ll cover how to lead your family like a Navy SEAL.

Show your child the way.

Fathers bear a great responsibility. Their children watch their every move and look to them for guidance. So, how can you become the leader your family needs? The Navy SEALs can certainly teach you a thing or two. But don’t worry; you don’t have to be a Navy SEAL to use these tactics in your parenting.

First and foremost, be present for your family, and provide necessary guidance and support.

Be a purposeful parent.

If you’re tired of traditional parenting methods that don’t produce positive changes, it might be time to try something new. Navy SEAL parenting prefers effective results over going through the motions.

In the last section, we discussed how being a good leader can make you an effective parent. But what happens when your child misbehaves? What can you do? How can you maintain discipline and encourage positive behavior?

Consistent life coaching will earn your child's respect.

Shrewd Navy SEALs say, "it’s easier to keep up than it is to catch up."

Falling behind in SEAL training means becoming a member of the Goon Squad – and that means you’re subjected to more intense exercise until you’re drained. You do learn a lesson from it, though: you’re always capable of more.

Use strategic response drills to solve problems quickly.

In high-pressure situations, decisive action makes all the difference. This is especially true in military operations, where every second counts.

Take the time a French special forces team failed to intercept a cargo ship smuggling contraband out of Iraq. When the opportunity to intercept came again, the US Navy SEAL team was "on time and on target." They boarded the smugglers’ ship and successfully diverted it back into international waters just before it could sail into Iranian waters. Fast action equals success.

Encourage your child to master their mental discipline.

Do you sometimes struggle to stay pumped when the going gets rough? Don't worry. You’re not alone in this boat. We’ve all had times when troubles get the best of us. The good news is that you can boost your mental toughness. Everyone has more control over their responses than they think. Not only that, recognizing this can transform your parenting.

The power to control your thoughts, feelings, and actions is known as self-regulation. Understanding self-regulation is the first step toward mastering mental discipline. For example, the US Navy understands that feelings can sometimes overwhelm candidates. So it trains prospects how to self-regulate to prepare themselves for dangerous situations.

Final Summary

To be an inspiring and effective father, you should prioritize active parenting and lead by example. Maintain consistency and responsiveness to your child's needs while encouraging physical activity. Remember that even if you’ve lost touch with your child, you can still reconnect and rebuild your team. Fathers never quit.

By embracing Navy SEAL parenting principles, you can build a strong foundation that promotes growth, love, and respect. With this approach, you can reclaim your role as father and inspire your child to make positive life choices.

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Ekaterina S.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Nils S.

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
