I want to share the biggest mistake I made as a dad. Without realizing it, I was trying to pull my son into my world instead of stepping into his. My Type-A drive and bias toward efficiency made me resent his love for Minecraft, and that resentment quietly created distance—distance that didn’t start with him, but with me.
Eventually, I sought advice from a mentor, convinced the problem was the game. He stopped me and said it clearly: the issue wasn’t Minecraft, it was my expectations. That hit hard.
When I chose curiosity over control and intentionally stepped into my son’s world, everything changed. Our connection deepened. What I learned—and keep learning—is this: presence will always beat projection.
