How to Convince Your Kids You Know Everything

Hey Dad,

So you’re a dad now. Which means at some point, your kid is going to ask you a question you don’t know the answer to.

And you’ve got two choices: admit you have no idea or convince them you’re an all-knowing genius.

Option two is the only way forward.

Imagine this…

You're sitting at the dinner table, enjoying a moment of peace, when it happens.

"Why is the sky blue?"

You freeze. You know there’s a real answer - something about light refraction - but the details? Gone.

Before you can recover, another question lands.

"How do airplanes stay in the air?"

Now you're sweating.

You glance at your phone, but reaching for it would be a sign of weakness. Your kid is waiting, eyes full of trust, believing you - their all-knowing parent - hold the answers to the universe.

So, what do you do?

You bluff with confidence.

In today’s Dadsperate Measures, we’re diving into The Dad Knowledge Principle - how to convince your kids you know everything, even when you don’t.

Let’s get into it.
