5 Lessons From Eddie Murphy’s Daycare For Dads That Parents Can And Should Implement Right Away

admin

It’s amazing how young children can find an old movie they might have forgotten about, decide they like it, and play it over and over again.

My five-year-old has done just that with Eddie Murphy’s Daddy’s Daycare. What’s really interesting is that when I first saw this movie, I saw it through the eyes of a childless man. OH BUT NOT THIS TIME.

Now every time I watch this movie with my son, which is at least twice a week as of the time I write this. I pick up on the underlying messages of the film that really motivate me as a father and an entrepreneur.

So I’ve taken the time to explain Eddy Murphy’s 5 Daycare Lessons for Dads Parents Can and Should Implement Right Away.

The corporate security bogus

Eddie Murphy’s character in this film had a very important and slow career in product development. She routinely answered her cell phone call and the endless chimes of email. Most men who have worked in the corporate world can relate to this.

But then THAT happens (insert horror music from movie). He and his very good friend are fired in a way that surprises Charlie (eddie’s character) and his business partner Phil. Have any of you ever experienced this? (The author of this post raises his hand.).

Charlie has to instantly come to terms with the reality that his employer had the power to discontinue the job in which he had found his identity. And it didn’t matter how much he invested emotionally. It didn’t matter what his financial obligations were. And it didn’t even matter that he had brought success to the company in the past. What’s next?

What really matters

Charlie no longer took up all of his time with meetings, presentations, emails, and phone calls. So what does he do now? Well, isn’t it obvious from the title? returned to be Dad. She even read to her son at night and even fell asleep in bed with him. (And the crowd goes AWWWW!)

Now, since this wasn’t the end of the movie, the importance of this quality time hasn’t really hit him over the head yet. But it did help shift his focus to home.

The joy of being present

So Daddy’s Charlie and Phil decide to start the hilarious task of starting a daycare for dads. In which his two children are cared for.

With a mix of lots of poop humor, dress up games, sugar rush and sugar crashes and of course NAP TIME. Tea daycare for parents takes shape Now remember the scene I talked about earlier, where Charlie read to his son and he fell asleep. Well, because of Charlie’s decision to start this business from home, he and his son have spent a lot more time together.

Sidebar: This is one of those points where the movie really began to speak to my own desires as a father and an entrepreneur.

Charlie went from being an absent Father due to his career, to being a present and committed Father due to a business decision. Which brings me to the next and very valuable point.

true realization

Since this is a family comedy, a lot of hilarity ensues, along with challenges from two very inexperienced men who run a daycare center, while competing with the big private academy in town.

Throughout their journey they face surprise searches, sabotage and Charlie is even faced with the very difficult choice of going back to his old job.

Sidebar: To me this represents the struggle that many men go through every day, when they leave their home and their children.

But something amazing happens when he briefly decides to return to the corporate world and leave his innovative daycare for parents. While he was in the boardroom, the same man who fired him not long ago asked him to give a presentation.

THAT he finally hits him over the head. Realizing that the quality time she has been able to spend with his son is priceless, she abruptly excused herself and quickly went to find her son from the feared Academy she had been competing against. and did the BOLD statement that daycare for parents it was here to stay.

What can about you from your children

As I watch this movie over and over again. Simultaneously I observe my son. I look at which parts of the movie make him laugh and realize I’m laughing at the same parts. I notice that you are attracted to this movie more than other more popular animated movies. Then I realize that he already has the desire to be a dad when he grows up, and this movie speaks to a deep desire in him.

And guess what… Me too when I was his age. Watching my son learn and grow highlights my own attributes that I am responsible for developing or correcting within him.

My son has such an amazing influence on how I do my career and how I’ve come to understand the value of time. I am so thankful that it was tough enough to endure my days of being an absentee parent due to career choices. However, caring enough to forget my absence the moment I got home. (She pauses to catch her breath and not cry.)

I hope this post motivates another Father to decide that the ones he is most important to are also worth more of his time than anything else.

God bless you

Rome: city of seven hills

admin

Rome, the capital of Italy, is historically known as the “City of the Seven Hills”. According to Roman mythology, the seven hills of early Rome were Cermalus, Cispius, Fagutal, Oppius, Palatium, Sucusa, and Velia. But now the modern ‘City of Seven Hills’ includes Myrtle, Blossom, Clock Tower, Jackson, Lumpkin and Old Shorter hills and Aventine Hill.

At first all seven hills were occupied by different small villages and were not grouped together or recognized as one city called Rome. The residents of the seven hills began to participate in a series of religious games that began to unite the groups. Thus the city of Rome was born when these separate settlements acted as a group, draining the marshy valleys between them and turning them into markets. Rome became the most beautiful city in the world that soon began to rule the entire world.

Five of the seven hills of modern Rome are populated with monuments, buildings and parks. The Capitoline Hill now houses the Municipality of Rome and the Palatine Hill is an archaeological area. The monuments of Rome still stand as a reminder of Rome as one of the greatest centers of Western civilization.

The Eternal City is home to a rich heritage and art. There are many luxurious ancient palaces and one of them is the ‘Golden House of Nero’. Built on approximately 200 acres of land, the palace has a 150-foot statue of the nude Nero at the entrance. The only ancient building that remains intact today is ‘The Pantheon’ whose spatial concept makes it an architectural marvel.

In addition, there are many more things like the Pantheon, the Roman Forum, the Vatican Museums, Piazza Navona and the Capitoline Museum that attract visitors from all corners of the world. The charming city has one of the best collections of cheap hotels, restaurants, cafes, bars and shopping arcades that promise to make your trip a pleasant one.

Does anyone remember the fashion for cabbages?

If you’re over 30, you probably remember the Cabbage Patch doll craze of the 1980s. People waited in line for hours just for the privilege of buying one of these dolls. Stores couldn’t keep them on the shelves. Some people think it was the biggest marketing gimmick of the 1980s.

The dolls were originally designed by a man named Xavier Roberts who lives in Georgia. In 1982, Roberts sold the mass production rights to the Coleco Toy Company. As you may recall, each Cabbage Patch doll came with her own name and birthday, adoption papers, and birth certificate. Each doll was said to be unique (just a little different).

For the first few years, it seemed that Coleco couldn’t produce these dolls fast enough. The dolls were in such short supply at Christmas that some stores had to call the police just to control the crowds waiting in line to buy the dolls. Other stores decided to hold raffles to distribute the dolls fairly and avoid mob-like scenes. In 1985 Coleco reported record sales of $600 million thanks to Cabbage Patch dolls.

Obviously, like most fads, the Cabbage Patch fad didn’t last long. Sales fell from $600 million in 1985 to just $250 million in 1986. There were scalpers and speculators who were left with cabinets full of dolls that suddenly didn’t sell very well anymore. Coleco then tried many things to revive the doll market by making dolls “do things” such as talk. However, things went downhill from there and Coleco had to declare bankruptcy in 1988.

The Hasbro Company obtained the rights to produce the doll in 1989. They gradually began making dolls for younger children, which led to smaller dolls. Despite the fact that the Cabbage Patch dolls were one of the best selling dolls. Hasbro was never able to revitalize the Cabbage Patch market. In 1994 Mattel bought the rights to the doll.

Mattel currently still produces Cabbage patch dolls. However, the dolls no longer have cloth bodies, they are still all vinyl dolls. The dolls are generally around 14 inches or less, and most of them come with a gimmick like swimming, eating, or brushing their teeth. Most of the Cabbage Patch dolls made by Mattel are still available at some mass market retailers such as Toy’s R US. The sticker price is usually less than $20.
