How Much is Too Much to Spend on Kids?
Season 1 · Episode 104
lundi 24 novembre 2025 • Duration 30:13
Is my child too spoiled? If you’re even asking, that means you’re spending a good amount of money on your kids. We get it. Youth sports, music lessons, and all those extracurriculars add up, but does that equal a spoiled kid? In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to talk about how much we’re spending on our children and if that’s even a bad thing.
Why This Matters
Stewarding our money well is one way we love our families.
Potential Problems of Overspending on Our Kids
1. Kids may get used to receiving all the time.
2. It demonstrates a lack of self-control by Dad.
3. It contributes to kids’ anxious feelings.
4. Parents may feel financial strain.
5. The line between need and want gets blurred.
What Can Dads Do?
Action Step 1: Take a hard look at your spending habits around your child. Is it excessive?
Action Step 2: Take a hard look at what your spending habits around your kids is doing to you. Are you overextended and stressed out about money?

How Should We Teach Our Sons to Respect Women?
Season 1 · Episode 103
lundi 17 novembre 2025 • Duration 28:49
“She’s the most beautiful girl in town. That makes her the best, and don’t I deserve the best?” Remember that line from Gaston in Beauty and the Beast? It probably doesn’t register as disrespectful with kids, but it certainly is. In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to talk about how to raise sons to respect women.
Why This Matters
· Boys have mothers and sisters, who are worthy of respect.
· Boys will date girls, who are worthy of respect.
· Boys may one day have wives, who will be worthy of respect.
If you’re wondering what do to teach your sons about respecting women, you’re not alone. Start here:
1. Point out problematic phrases directed at women:
Objectifying, controlling, and sexualized language is not respectful.
2. Listen to girls/women:
When a girl says “____,” respect her wishes. No means no.
3. Set a standard:
Model respect with the women you interact with. Show respect with your words, actions, and entertainment decisions. Your sons will see that.
4. Follow the standard, not the crowd:
Remind kids that they don’t have to go along with what other boys accept, popularize, or glamorize about women.

Do You Have a Favorite Kid? Research Suggests You Might.
Season 1 · Episode 94
lundi 15 septembre 2025 • Duration 34:48
Do parents have favorites? Even if you say you don’t, research shows you probably do. In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to talk about dads showing favoritism, even unknowingly, harms everyone in the house.
Why This Matters
Siblings who receive less favored treatment tend to have poorer mental health and more strained family relationships.
Key Takeaways
· You probably DO have a favorite kid: A BYU study shows 80% of parents show preferential treatment
· Behavior is a factor: The American Psychological Association says “agreeable and conscientious” kids are usually favored.
· Sorry, boys: Both mothers and fathers are more likely to favor daughters.
Action Steps for Dads
Perception is reality, so avoid even appearing to have a favorite kid by doing these things:
1. Analyze yourself.
2. Avoid unfair assignments and punishments.
3. Examine your wallet.
4. Divide your time as evenly as possible.
5. Schedule regular check-ins.
6. Hear them out.

How Can I Avoid Parenting to Please Others?
Season 1 · Episode 4
lundi 8 janvier 2024 • Duration 23:37
Most people want to be liked. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, unless your desire to get along with others comes at the expense of your child’s well-being. Ted Lowe, Bobby Lewis, BJ Foster, and Jason Hood tackle the common problem of parenting to please others in today’s episode.
Putting others’ ahead of our kids can lead to feelings of inadequacy and impact your decision-making as a dad. Doing what’s right for your kids can be hard sometimes, but your choices as a parent must mirror your values, even if it causes friction with the people around you.
Today’s Pro Move: Take a moment to stop and ask, “Am I doing what’s best for my kids or doing what makes others feel best?”

How Can I Help My Anxious Kid?
Season 1 · Episode 2
lundi 8 janvier 2024 • Duration 25:13
Millions of people around the world struggle with anxiety. That includes our children. How do we help them handle those feelings? Ted Lowe, Mark Merrill, Buck Buchanan, and BJ Foster break it down into digestible steps.
Raising an anxious child can be challenging. As parents, it’s our job to love them well while helping them deal with their feelings. Let them know that it's okay to feel anxious, and that you are there to support them. Empathize and encourage them to share their thoughts and feelings. Your son or daughter needs to know that you are a safe place for them.
If your child's anxiety is severe or if it is interfering with his or her daily life, it may require seeking professional help. A therapist can help your child develop a personalized treatment plan that will address their specific needs.
Today’s Pro Move: List what makes them anxious and how you’d like to respond to them.

What Are Some Fun Christmas Activities I Can Do With My Kids?
Season 1 · Episode 1
samedi 9 décembre 2023 • Duration 30:49
We are talking about activities that don’t break the bank. There are plenty of fun and engaging activities you can enjoy with your kids without spending too much cash. Ted Lowe, Bobby Lewis, Buck Buchanan, and Jason Hood pick their favorites.
Making time for fun activities with your kids during the holidays is essential for strengthening your bond and creating lasting memories. It's also an opportunity to step away from the hustle and bustle of the season and truly connect with your children. Decorate the Christmas tree together. Bake Christmas cookies. Build a snowman or have a snowball fight. Go on a Christmas lights scavenger hunt. Just be intentional about spending time together with your children during the season.
Suggestions for FUN with your kids:
For The Kids:
• Decorate each of their rooms uniquely
For Others:
• Write and mail cards to people needing a boost. Do this for 12 days in a row
• Make three pancakes per plate and decorate them to look like one snowman
• Offer to hang outdoor lights for an elderly neighbor
• Craft some creative handmade gifts
• Participate in Operation: Christmas Child
• Do “Secret Santa”
For Giggles:
• Bake the craziest cookies possible
• Go outside and make a snowman that looks like each member of your family
• Grab a video projector and watch outdoor movies with hot cocoa
• Make dinner using only red, green, & white ingredients
• Make homemade Christmas wreaths
Today’s Pro Move: Choose one activity to do with your kids this Christmas season and put it on the calendar.
Worry more about the memories than the gifts. Enjoy spending time with loved ones. By focusing on simple, budget-friendly activities, you can create a Christmas season that is filled with joy, laughter, and love.

How Do I Make the Social Media Algorithm Work For Me?
Season 1 · Episode 93
lundi 8 septembre 2025 • Duration 27:36
One click and the social media algorithm starts to study you. It begins suggesting things it thinks you’d like. It starts pushing you in new directions. It’s trying to serve you, but also trap you. In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to talk about that pesky social media algorithm and how to make it work FOR you, not against you as a dad.
Why This Matters
Algorithms try to keep your attention and steal your time away from what matters most.
Define It
The social media algorithm is the behind-the-scenes brain that sorts through all the noise and tries to deliver a personalized feed of content it thinks you'll like.
Things Social Media Algorithms Do
- Explore your potential interests: They analyze popular trends and feeds them to you in an attempt to broaden your horizons.
- Move you beyond your immediate network: By suggesting posts from accounts you don't follow, platforms help content “go viral."
- Steer you toward high-engagement content: If a post is getting a lot of likes, shares, and comments in a short amount of time, the visibility gets boosted to a wider audience.
How To Train Your Algorithm
1. Engage authentically.
Only like, share, and comment on content you genuinely care about.
2. Follow intentionally.
Be mindful of who you follow, because algorithms assume you like similar things.
3. Explore mindfully.
Using ‘Explore’ or ‘For You’ search aids collects data about your interests.
4. Watch the clock.
The longer you spend viewing content, the more social media algorithms assume you’re interested. Don’t linger.
5. Use platform features.
Block, mute, or hit ‘not interested’ to refine your online experience.

lundi 1 septembre 2025 • Duration 23:19
Tossing the football in the yard. Working on cars in the driveway. Reviewing how to be a gentleman on a date. There are so many cool moments dads and son share that it’s hard to pick the best ones. In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to talk about the joy of being a dad to sons.

Sons often grow up to be mini versions of their dads. Building a strong bond today can have generational impact.
Key Stat
· In a Gallup survey, boys are more likely than girls to report having a strong, loving relationship with their parents (77% versus 61%).

2. Be rough.
3. Be real.
4. Be buddies.
5. Be a mentor and example.
6. Get a future best friend.
