or you are (if you’re a Dad)

+ What to avoid (his pet peeves!)

Can you match these “Types”?
Dad Type Central Characteristic
1. Adventurous A. He is in control of the situation, a
very natural position for the
father-offspring relationship.
2. Career-Driven B. Being busy in a different way is
what makes this type of dad
happy.
3. Nature-Loving C. He focuses on the long-term
nature of situations and
relationships.
4. Power-Driven D. He’d rather watch a show on
the plains of Africa than the
Super Bowl.

Now that you know his Type …
For the Career-Driven Dad –
Ways to begin a conversation: he is generally
straightforward, so the best approach is a direct one.
Things to do together: ask him to help you with something;
school project, something around the house or apartment.
Having “Dad radar”: he likes to stay current, so perhaps a
new best-selling book; offer to stain the new deck he is
building.
Avoiding his pet peeves: he likes status quo; don’t tell him
of changes you are considering.
