I used to fear moments like this. Sounds silly, but it’s true.

Not because I was afraid of taking my son out, but because I was afraid he wouldn’t enjoy it.

Quality time is one of my biggest priorities as a father. And in my head, spending that time on something he had no interest in felt like wasting it. So I played it safe. I chose indoors.

But here’s what fatherhood keeps teaching me. My son doesn’t arrive with interests fully formed. He finds interest in whatever I’m interested in. He’s watching me to learn what’s worth being curious about.

So the best thing I can do for him at this age isn’t to protect our time, it’s to spend it exploring. New environments. New adventures.

I didn’t need to fear whether he’d enjoy it. Because as his dad, I don’t just get to witness his interests. I get to help build them.

Proverbs 22:6 says “train up a child in the way he should go”
