Parenting has a way of exposing just how quickly we can lose our cool. In this episode of The Restorative Man Podcast, Chris Bruno and Jesse French talk about the practice of non-anxious curiosity, a simple but powerful way to stop yelling at your kids and become a calm dad. Sparked by a conversation with Mark Batterson on the Restorative Manhood Digital Summit, they explore how choosing curiosity over control changes the way we parent, love, and lead. Through real stories of rupture and repair, they get honest about the messy moments every father faces. If you’ve been searching for how to connect with your kids without constant correction, this conversation will help you breathe a little easier.
