Teaching my son to shake hands properly

Been working with my 8 year old on his handshake. Firm grip, eye contact, good posture. My dad taught me this way and I remember how it made me feel like a real man when I got it right. Took him to church last Sunday and he shook the pastor's hand like he meant it. Pastor even commented on it. These little things matter fellas. They set the foundation for how people perceive you.

This is great stuff. With three kids under 10, I'm always thinking about what little traditions stick with them. The handshake thing is solid because it's something they can actually practice and own.

Really cool that you're being intentional about this. Between coaching soccer and keeping my own kids moving, I see how much confidence comes from getting the basics right. Your 8 year old's gonna remember this.

That's awesome, man. My son's 6 and we're starting the same thing. It's wild how something so simple can actually matter to them, you know? Love that you're passing on what your dad taught you.
