Terry couldn’t understand for the life of him why his son would want to watch other people play games. But after weeks of trying, he said that he gave up trying to change his sons interests. He found that it was far more meaningful and beneficial to just participate with his son.
I remember watching a live video on Facebook of him building a computer for his son. He had no idea what he was doing, so he was asking the viewers which piece went where, etc and had the crowd walk him through it.
I actually thought it was an incredible lesson for a dad. Sometimes we want to control everything about our children... but in the long run, you can do a lot more to get close to them if you change a thing or two about yourself.
