Parenting particularly fatherhood is a journey laden with challenges emotions and an unwavering sense of responsibility In the latest episode of the Dads with Daughters podcast I welcome Quentarious Jones and Demetrius Roe Jones of the Not Your Average Girl Dad Podcast we delve deep into the nuances of raising daughters They offer listeners not only their personal experiences but also invaluable advice on how fathers can maintain strong emotional connections with their daughters while growing themselves Fostering Emotional Connections One of the primary themes discussed in this episode is the importance of fathers understanding and connecting with their daughters emotions Both Quentarious and Demetrius opened up about the challenges they faced in expressing vulnerability stemming from their own upbringings They emphasize that showing emotion isn t a weakness but a strength that fosters deeper connections with their daughters Quentarious reflected Embracing and expressing my emotions has been a journey not just for my well-being but for the emotional health of my daughters This insight aligns with Dr Lewis s message that fathers should be consistent and willing to show vulnerability Embracing this openness allows daughters to feel understood supported and emotionally secure The Challenge of Understanding Emotions Raising daughters brings unique emotional challenges Quentarious and Demetrius highlighted their initial fears and concerns upon learning they were going to be fathers The fear of not being able to protect their daughters especially from emotional pain weighed heavily on them Demetrius shared his struggle with showing vulnerability rooted in a strict upbringing He realized that breaking this cycle was essential for his relationship with his daughters He mentioned I grew up thinking that showing emotion was for the weak But understanding that being open and vulnerable is okay has been a revelation It s something I want my daughters to see and learn These experiences underline the importance for fathers to better understand emotions both their own and their daughters It s about breaking down societal norms that equate masculinity with stoicism and instead fostering an environment where emotional expression is encouraged and valued The Role of Fathers More Than Just Providers Another critical point discussed was the perception of fathers as mere providers The hosts argue that fatherhood goes beyond financial support it encompasses being an emotional pillar a mentor and a steadfast presence in their children s lives Dr Lewis pointed out Being a father isn t just about providing it s about being present and emotionally available Our daughters need to see that we care that we re here for them not just in good times but through adversity too This paradigm shift from provider to an emotionally available guardian is vital Fathers who engage with their daughters emotional worlds help build their daughters confidence and emotional resilience Not Showing Favoritism Throughout their conversation the topic of not showing favoritism among children was underscored Both Quentarious and Demetrius spoke about the delicate balance needed to treat each child fairly Quentarious noted It s important that our daughters feel valued and equally loved Favoritism can create rifts that last a lifetime Avoiding favoritism involves understanding and appreciating each child s unique personality needs and emotions This approach not only fosters individual growth but also strengthens familial bonds Faith and Leadership Core Elements As fathers and hosts of the Not Your Average Girl Dad podcast Quentarious and Demetrius frequently discuss the intersection of fatherhood faith and leadership Their podcast was born from regular conversations about life music and their roles as fathers husbands and leaders within their communities Discussing faith they highlighted its role in navigating tough times The duo believes that faith offers a foundation and a guiding light for fathers Having faith and finding joy in difficult situations is essential emphasized Quentarious Their goal is to inspire other fathers by sharing principles they ve learned and lived by They hope that emphasizing faith and family in their podcast will resonate with their listeners The latest episode of Dads with Daughters is a treasure trove of wisdom for fathers navigating the complex landscape of raising daughters As Quentarious Demetrius and Dr Lewis share their stories and advice one message stands clear Fatherhood is an evolving journey that requires openness emotional availability and a commitment to learning Whether it s through fostering emotional connections challenging societal norms or drawing strength from faith fathers play a pivotal role in shaping their daughters lives The insights shared in this episode serve as a reminder of the profound impact that an emotionally present understanding and faithful father can have Fathers you re not alone on this journey reach out connect and continue growing TRANSCRIPT Dr Christopher Lewis 00 00 05 Welcome to dads with daughters In this show we spotlight dads

society today we have this feeling that to be that amazing dad you gotta you gotta man up You gotta just push forward Dr Christopher Lewis 00 01 02 You gotta do it and gotta know everything the moment your child s born And the answer is you really don t because you re not gonna know everything the moment your child is born You re gonna fail many times and that s okay But you ve got so many men around you that are fathers too and have done this And if you re willing to let down your guard a little bit we could use the v word right now I ve used it before If You re willing to be a little

daughters Quinterius has 2 daughters Dr Christopher Lewis 00 02 04 So we got a lot of daughters in the house and and we re gonna be talking about the journeys that they have been on And also we re gonna talk about a podcast that they do together called not your average girl dad podcast So we re gonna be talking about that as well So I m really excited to have them here guys Thanks so much for being here today Demetrius Roe Jones 00 02 20 Thanks for having us Quentarious Jones 00 02 23 Yeah Thank you for having us Chris We really appreciate it Very exciting Dr Christopher Lewis 00 02 25 So I wanna turn the clock back in time on both of you because you have daughters And Demetrius you ve got 3 Quentarius you ve got 2 So I wanna turn back the clock all the way back to that first moment when you found out that you were going to be a dad to a daughter What was going through both your heads Demetrius Roe Jones 00 02 43 Well I ll start first When I found out I was going to be a dad I was excited actually Because long story short the doctor said we won t be able to have any kids So my first child was literally my miracle child and we named her miracle So I was excited I was a little nervous but I remember when it was getting closer and closer for the first time in a long time I got butterfly in my stuff I was excited Yeah Quentarious Jones 00 03 09 I would say the same It was one of those things where I knew I always wanted kids And my first thought was okay we re gonna have a son I was like I wanna have a son first girl then another son So I at first I wanted 3 kids and to find out that okay we re having a girl It was shocking I was like Hey you know you always have that that 50 50 but I was like wow okay we re having a girl So I was like this is gonna be pretty cool Quentarious Jones 00 03 30 One of the strangest things and I kinda shared this on one of our episodes is that I actually had a dream about Kalani before she was born So I didn t know her name was gonna be Kalani at the time but I had a dream about her and she turned out to be the same little girl in my dream And I just thought that was wow That s that was pretty cool but it was an exciting time for us It gave me a sense of real responsibility really quick So it s been a joy being a girl dad Been a joy Dr Christopher Lewis 00 04 04 So one of the things that I think that I was gonna that I am kind of interested in knowing and this is something that I talk to a lot of dads about is that when I talk to dads about being dads with daughters a lot of times they talk about that there is a fear to being a dad to a daughter What would you say were both of your biggest fears in raising daughters Demetrius Roe Jones 00 04 24 My biggest fear is that I can t protect them at all times I am so over protect them It s like the smallest little thing And it s like what do you mean I have to go without me What do you mean Like she was like my wife was like you know you re a bitch You have to go back to work I was like well I m taking them with me you know So it s just the fear of not being able to protect them all the time but I just have to trust that God s watching over them and that he can protect them in ways that I can t So that s my biggest fear Quentarious Jones 00 04 53 I think I share a similar fear but I would say more so just knowing that and I m kind of biased of course because I m their dad but just knowing that one day hopefully they will get married and just hoping that that guy can be anywhere close to what I provide for my daughters from a spiritual level from a financial level from a mental level It s just being able to support them in a way that I know that I can and investing in them to be strong young women in the society that we live in And so just hoping that they find someone that sees them as the jewels that they are And so my fear would be is them not finding that someone and being maybe manipulated into or settling for something that I know that they can have more of or have a better situation with someone So just hoping that they find someone that can that can bring that to the table Dr Christopher Lewis 00 05 52 Now fatherhood is never easy It has its ups its downs and in betweens And we were talking before about that about when they re young and they don t sleep and you barely keep your eyes open So what s been the hardest part of being a father to a daughter thus far Quentarious Jones 00 06 09 I m gonna say the endless emotion The spectrum of emotions And because for me growing up I haven t always been and I can admit that I haven t always been that in tune with my emotions So having daughters has definitely opened me up to feeling more or being more in tune with my feelings And learning that with them everything matters is always something And sometimes where they may whine about things that in my mind I m like I don t think there s anything to whine about but taking the time to sit down with them and really understand them as where they where they are My wife helped me see this one time when we were going through a situation with my oldest daughter when she was going to school and she was having a tough time adjusting to starting school for the 1st few months And we had a rough time getting up in the morning on the way to school a lot of crying a lot of I don t wanna go Quentarious Jones 00 07 07 And my wife helped me see even though I know they re human she just told me she s like hey Quinn You just gotta think She s a human just like you re human Some days you re gonna have tough days You re gonna have rough days And her way of expressing it may be a little bit different from you because you re older and you kinda understand that you re not gonna cry about everything but her way of expressing herself is through her tears And so that helped me gain a little bit more patience with my daughters And so I think that s the biggest challenge is just learning that they re humans just like we are Quentarious Jones 00 07 40 They re just smaller humans and they have their mood They have their feelings and just learning to navigate them so that you can help meet them where they are and get the best out of the situation Demetrius Roe Jones 00 07 51 I would say trying to figure out each one of their many personalities I have 3 beautiful girls and they have 3 totally different personalities My oldest child she s real pretty and I don t want to touch that That s dirty and things of that nature My middle child she s kinda like tomboyish like love playing in the dirt And then my youngest is just bossy You know she s just like I want it now Give it to me Demetrius Roe Jones 00 08 21 And so it s just trying to figure them all out And another thing vulnerable having a vulnerable moment is try not to show favoritism Treating them all the same I m not gonna lie It s hard at times because especially with my certain one I could have my first you know that s your first That s your priority But you have to treat all of them the same If one is no all is no Demetrius Roe Jones 00 08 45 If one is yes all is there You get 1 piece of candy gotta give all of them piece of candy And so that s been the biggest challenge to me Dr Christopher Lewis 00 08 53 Well then I ll tell you both I mean things don t change that much as they get older and you re gonna have to keep being consistent as parents You re going to have to keep working day in and day out to figure out the personalities and the emotions get even worse as they get into their teenage years So you definitely have to kind of ride the wave and be willing to ride the wave You know one one of my past guests said this and I ve said this numerous times with different guests And in a conversation that I had had with with a author she said to me that one of the things that dads need to think about especially dads with daughters need to think about is the fact that so many of us as men are programmed innately to be fixers So we go into situations always with the mentality of how can I fix this And our daughters and our partners in life don t always want us to fix things And you at times need to go into the conversations especially with your daughters with the concept of asking your daughters when you re sitting down with them is this a fixing conversation Or is this a listening conversation And let them decide Dr Christopher Lewis 00 10 07 And that was a moment And it was I got it later in life and I wish that I had got it earlier in life because I think that I would have incorporated that earlier because I had incorporated it when I found out about it In my daughter s teenage years they probably would have looked at me like I was an alien And that they would have been like stop using your psychobabble on me dad But if you have a younger daughter that is a definite Think about using that because it is something that I think will make a huge difference in how you communicate with the females in your life I m not just saying your daughters I m saying the females in your life Quentarious Jones 00 10 45 And I think that s good because I kinda learned that with my wife And now that you re saying that I never really looked at it that way for my daughters in the same way So I can definitely take that advice because I I do that a lot with my wife It s like hey I have to ask I pause because I know I I wanna fix it I m that type of person and I kinda just have the personality that I always wanna help someone because I always wanna I m always in the state of hey how can I help you How can I get you out of this rut And so for her sometimes it s just I don t really wanna be out of the rut right now I just kinda wanna blow off steam Quentarious Jones 00 11 21 And so I I use that with my with my wife but I never thought of using it with my 2 daughters So that s great advice Great advice Demetrius Roe Jones 00 11 29 I think the same thing I never thought about it with my daughters I ve have had to learn to let my wife vent and let her just get it off her chest Because you know what me I m like I m just like what s the purpose of it And if you still got the problem I want the solution but I realized that why is maybe a little different So I say okay man And then if you want me to ask I had learned they ll ask Oh you want my answer Okay So I get my solution there Demetrius Roe Jones 00 11 52 So I ve that is good I never thought about to actually apply that with my daughters Dr Christopher Lewis 00 11 56 Now Contreras you meant you made the comment that one of the things you had to really work on yourself was to kinda let down your guard a bit be a bit more vulnerable and let out your emotions more because that s not something that comes easy for you So talk to me about what you had to do to move in that direction because you re not the only guy that has had that issue or has that issue But what did you have to do to start moving down that path Quentarious Jones 00 12 25 I think step number 1 was first kinda just looking in the mirror and saying this isn t healthy for you It s not healthy for you to bottle up your emotions and not express yourself when you feel certain emotions because something that I learned in life is that God gives us emotions And so it s not about trying to suppress the emotions all the time It s about learning how to navigate the emotions and express them in the proper way And so that s one of the things that I first had to come to grips with is hey This isn t healthy for you and it s not gonna be good for your daughters if you re not fully engaged or with your emotions in a way to where you can properly understand them navigate them and then help them because they re gonna have emotions And as they re navigating through life as they re growing they they wanna know okay So how when I feel this way if I m angry how to not okay hit someone when I m angry or when I m happy how to be happy and to express being happy like with my smile with my joy Quentarious Jones 00 13 26 I you know I wanna express these things in a proper way And so that was one way The first thing that I had to do was just come to grips with myself to say hey We wanna be healthy And then and then using that just it kinda sounds weird but practicing it with my family Right So practicing that every single day being intentional about when I feel a certain way being honest with it Like for example I shared earlier when we was going through the time with her going to school it was frustrating to have so many mornings where you would think that I m doing everything right I m getting up earlier Quentarious Jones 00 14 03 Sometimes we ll play like jingles in the morning to kinda get the emotions going and then we still get to these moments where okay we were running late to school or it was just like a tantrum that morning And so I had to understand that okay every single day is a day of practice and it gives me an opportunity to continue to work on hey how can we navigate these emotions here And so that s kind of how I did that Demetrius Roe Jones 00 14 27 But me I had to do a lot of going back in digging up my past I had a very hard dad I mean this man was like Joe Jackson times 10 He you couldn t Oh Lord So with that I love my dad I love him He was a great father Demetrius Roe Jones 00 14 48 But with that I wasn t allowed to show emotion And he never verbally said it but that s pretty much how I took it And so I would bottle things up and I would bottle things up And so what I had to do was I had to learn that it s okay to show emotion It s okay to cry You know a lot of mirror Yeah I m I m a hard man Demetrius Roe Jones 00 15 09 No like cry It s okay Like and so able to learn how to allow my emotions to flow Then I was better able to empathize with my wife empathize with my girls Okay I know how this would make me feel so I can understand the emotion that you feel right now Or even if I can t understand it I at least empathize that you have this emotion right now And so I m going to do my best to respect that and honor that Demetrius Roe Jones 00 15 38 And so once I was able to unpack a lot of that stuff and that helped me to flow better with dealing with my you know my my girls and my wife and things of that nature Dr Christopher Lewis 00 15 47 Now the 2 of you have known each other for a long time And the 2 of you came together just a little while back and came together to create a podcast And I mentioned this at the beginning of the show today the not your average girl dad podcast Talk to me about the genesis story of this and why the 2 of you decided that you wanted to come together to have these conversations Quentarious Jones 00 16 09 So it was birth from just Roski and I I m caller Roski We so we met in college We we we went to Albany State University in Albany Georgia It s like we were meant to be bros It was just meant to be He he used to work at the Subway on campus And E fresh And he used to sing these jingles Quentarious Jones 00 16 34 He had this jingle Every time he came in you knew you would get a laugh and you d get a great sub from Roski And so we bonded on campus We became really good friends We was also attending the same church at the time And from there we find out that we had some very common interests And one of the interests that bonded us is like Christian hip hop And so we became really tight about about that Quentarious Jones 00 17 00 And from there we just became really great friends So how do we get to the podcast As we continued our friendship throughout the years we will always have these amazing conversations on the phone It s not the goal Like we would call each other for something quick Like Hey bro I just wanna call you See did you hear the new new song that dropped by Lecrae or the new song from Swoop or the new song from KB And so we would just talk about the music but from that conversation we would end up just talking about life and just talking about what we re learning as husbands and what we re learning in ministry And then eventually as he expounded we re learning as dads And so we share these long conversations and we d be on the phone like 2 hours Quentarious Jones 00 17 41 And then one day we was just like I don t know What do we just take our conversation to a podcast And one day I just was I was driving down the road and he made a song We made a song about this And we was like I was driving down the road and then in the middle of prayer it just hit me The idea is just like okay let s start a podcast And then we ll just take our conversations to the mic and we ll share our experiences and share different principles that we ve learned and that we are learning as fathers as husbands as men in leadership and ministry and just share those experiences as we continue this journey Demetrius Roe Jones 00 18 16 You pretty much summed it up By all the thing I guess what I would add was just me and Terry was really close He became more than a friend of me He became my brother And so like I said it was literally one day he was driving down the road in middle of prayer And then he called me he said Hey the Lord put it in my heart Let s start a podcast We didn t know it was going to be not your average girl at but it was he s like let s just start a podcast Demetrius Roe Jones 00 18 37 Let s just share our conversation And I said okay And so one of the things that I told them I m like I m not very business savvy so I ll do what I can But his main thing was like I said the great content the subject matter And we knew that we could be a blessing to other girl dads or inspired fathers or dads period Even you re not a girl that just dad periods or just father figures We just wanted to put something out there to let the people know that you re doing a great job today and time is always about the negativity It s all about what people aren t doing Demetrius Roe Jones 00 19 08 So we wanted to put some out there to let them know you re doing a great job If you re showing up that s half the battle right there You re doing a great job So that was the idea And then I got an opportunity to use my creative juices I sing I rap I I write And so I used to do jingles and that was one of the things that really connected us He would come to subway and I m like subway eat fresh you know welcome to subway Demetrius Roe Jones 00 19 37 Eat fresh Like there was always like this larger than life moment when you came in the subway So I was like this is an opportunity for me to employ some of my skills So I had to say yes Dr Christopher Lewis 00 19 49 So as you ve gone along this journey you put out some different episodes talked about a lot of topics some lighthearted some heavier in nature You know I know that Demetrius you talked about at the beginning that it took you guys a long time to have your first child and you talk about that in one of your episodes as well So I guess in the conversations that you did have in the shows that you ve put out thus far what is your hope What are you hoping that people are taking away from the message that you re sharing Demetrius Roe Jones 00 20 19 Well my hope for me is with God all things are possible Our conversation is always centered around God And actually one of my favorite episodes was that story about us having a hard time because we went through a lot and that s in life Things are going to always be handed on the silver platter You re going to have to work hard and you know there s going to be ups It s gonna be a lot of ups It s gonna be a lot of downs But if you keep your trust in God that if he promised you something it s going to come to pass Demetrius Roe Jones 00 20 48 So that s the main thing I would say is just that keep your trust in God and just know that with God all things are possible and things are gonna always get better And that s one of the many things that I would pray that somebody picks up from hearing us Quentarious Jones 00 21 04 I would like for people to pick up or like for those listeners to pick up Everything happens for a reason We don t always understand what that reason can be but as long as you have in my opinion faith family and the fundamentals of life always help you keep the right perspective even in the toughest times of your life Because with Roski and his family I believe when that was going on for them and I I think I shared this with him is that my wife and I we experienced a miscarriage at one point before Kalani was born And this was before he and his wife went down the path of experiencing their journey And when we went through that it was like an opportunity for me to share with him Hey If God has promised you something that is gonna come to pass Quentarious Jones 00 21 57 And at that time I m not thinking that hey this is gonna be something that Rosie s going through or someone else but you learn that everything happens for a reason Even some of the things that can bring us disappointment some of the situations that can bring us some hurt some pain But in some of that hurt that pain you can still receive joy He can replace your morning into dancing and you know your darkness into light And so I just want listeners and those that come to the podcast or come to hear anything from us to know that God is consistently good and that if you maintain your faith always trust in the fact that he is good and that he knows best that all things will work together for your good Dr Christopher Lewis 00 22 40 So talk to me about the future of the podcast I know it s been a little bit of time since you last posted but what s gonna be coming in the future Demetrius Roe Jones 00 22 46 We have season 2 coming really soon We re working on it We re recording doing episodes We have music videos coming soon promos We re reaching out to start doing speaking gigs the whole 9 yard But I guess in immediate future definitely season 2 and we have a excited video coming It s going to just once again highlight all the fathers out there We want to give you your flowers while you re still here on this side of heaven Demetrius Roe Jones 00 23 21 So it s exciting And it s not just his biological dads father figures coaches teachers mentors If you just been just a mentor to anybody we wanna say thank you and we love you and keep doing what you were called to do Quentarious Jones 00 23 37 Gearing up for season 2 and gearing up to put out that video which and that song which highlights just the amazing work that dads around the world are doing And I think Roski said it earlier in a society that is can be very critical so much negativity that goes on or that is said especially towards men and fathers and husbands and what we re not doing But let s highlight the good that is going on because there are great dads out in the world There are great mentors and fathers that are investing in the next generation to help build a better society Uplift and that that s our goal for the future is this can continue to promote faith family and fundamentals of life and hopefully it continues to inspire the next generation Dr Christopher Lewis 00 24 24 Now we always finish our interviews with what I like to call our fatherhood 5 where I ask you 5 more questions to delve deeper into you as a dad Are you ready Demetrius Roe Jones 00 24 31 Let s go Ready Dr Christopher Lewis 00 24 33 In one word what is fatherhood Quentarious Jones 00 24 35 Commitment Sacrifice Dr Christopher Lewis 00 24 36 When was the time that you finally felt like you succeeded at being a father to a daughter Quentarious Jones 00 24 41 I haven t felt that yet But sometimes I felt like I ve succeeded getting them to school on time with no crying Demetrius Roe Jones 00 24 50 When I was able to watch all 3 of my girls and not have to call my wife once while she was out Dr Christopher Lewis 00 24 56 Now if I was to talk to your kids how would they describe you as a dad Demetrius Roe Jones 00 24 59 Talk to my oldest one But she always tells me that she loves me I recently went to go read to her class for it s national readings month And I went to go read their class And as soon as I walked through the door she had the biggest Kool Aid smile and it just won my heart So I don t think she say I m a pretty good dude Quentarious Jones 00 25 17 I would say I believe they would both call me the best dad in the world And the reason they call me the best dad in the world is because they say I give them everything They say when we ask mommy she always say no ma am No ham no turkey But when we go to daddy he s gonna give us everything we want So yeah So I would be probably the best dad in the world Dr Christopher Lewis 00 25 36 So Now who inspires you to be a better dad Demetrius Roe Jones 00 25 38 It s a lot of people My pastor my dad I know growing up with a father I never envisioned nothing else That s what I saw I was gonna be married I was gonna have kids I was gonna be a part of their life So it s a it s a lot of people but definitely my dad and my pastor Quentarious Jones 00 25 53 For me I would say my pastor I would also say a lot of the men in the church community where I serve just seeing a lot of great examples of many different type of dads from many different backgrounds and experiences My story was a little bit different from Roskis because I didn t have a relationship with my dad early on in my life until I became a teenager so until I was like 15 years old And so we have an amazing relationship now But that first few years of my life was always kinda searching for the perfect father figure or someone who could help lead me in those critical times of my life And I had a great mentor and I still talk to him We re still great to this day Those would be my inspirations Dr Christopher Lewis 00 26 41 Now both of you have given a number of pieces of advice today things that everyone should be thinking about As we finish up today what s one piece of advice you wanna give to every day Demetrius Roe Jones 00 26 50 Continue to show up You re not going to always know what to do You re not going to always have the answer but when you show up it shows that number 1 you care and you re willing to learn Quentarious Jones 00 27 01 My advice is to don t be so hard on yourself because everything is a learning experience You re always gonna be learning something new about yourself and about your kids If you re married you re about your spouse It s always an evolving door or phase of life where you re always in a a constant state of learning And so as long as you wanna continue to have the mindset to be a student I m a say student of the game of life or student of the game of being a husband being a father just being a leader you re always gonna learn something new And as long as you have the right posture you can receive those benefits So just always have a a student part Dr Christopher Lewis 00 27 38 Now if people wanna find out more about the 2 of you about the podcast where should they go Quentarious Jones 00 27 43 So we re on social media so they can
