Toddlers and To Do Lists: Redefining Productivity as a Dad

Dr. Ken Canfield explores the challenges of getting things done around the house while parenting a toddler. Patrick Boyle shares his personal experiences with his two-year-old son, Alec, who loves to be his dad's little helper. While Patrick initially struggled with the added time and complexity of completing household tasks with Alec by his side, he eventually shifted his perspective.

Patrick now embraces these opportunities for play and connection, whether they’re fixing the kitchen sink or raking leaves together.
