What emotions should your kids actually see from you?

In this episode of Just My Baby Daddy, AJ shares a real moment with his son after he scored his first goal—and why he chose not to celebrate in the moment.

That decision opens up a deeper conversation about emotional leadership as a father:

Should kids see your excitement… or your control?
Is staying calm teaching strength—or creating distance?
And most importantly… should your kids ever see you cry?

AJ breaks down the balance between being present and being intentional, showing love while maintaining stability, and raising children who can understand and manage their emotions in a healthy way.

Because at the end of the day, you’re not just raising kids… you’re raising future adults.
