The Nine
The Nine are the defining practices of Father Leadership.
Definition
The Nine are the defining practices of Father Leadership.
Plain-language meaning
The Nine describe what faithful Father Leadership looks like in practice.
What it is not
- Not nine tips
- Not a checklist to complete once
- Not optional techniques
- Not a sequence that always happens in order
Why it matters
The Nine provide the common practice language of the Discipline. They shape how fathers perceive, respond, correct, encourage, teach, model, and love.
Example
In a difficult homework conflict, a father may need to Know His Child, Govern His Reactions, Say It Out Loud, and Discipline Developmentally in the same Moment.
