How Akbar Gbajabiamila Confronts Modern Parenting Challenges | Clips | Dad Saves America

The biggest challenge of modern parenting is to build a foundation of good habits and values before your kids are flooded with outside influences, whether at school, on TV, or on social media. Akbar Gbajabiamila recalls how, when he was a kid, the media influence wasn't nearly as powerful because a parent could always just turn off the TV if their kids were being introduced to something before the appropriate age.
Akbar has become a household name as the host of popular TV shows like “American Ninja Warrior,” “The Talk,” and his upcoming reality show, “Fight to Survive.” With his engaging personality and magnetic charisma, he ignites the spirits of contestants to conquer seemingly impossible obstacles.
As a first-generation American, Akbar's journey is deeply rooted in his immigrant upbringing. Raised by strong-willed Nigerian parents, he was instilled with the values of education, hard work, and finishing what you start. These principles shaped his character and nurtured an unwavering belief that he could transcend the challenges that surrounded him.
Guided by his father's wisdom, Akbar channeled his energy into sports, using them as a vehicle for self-improvement and personal growth. Through relentless dedication, he excelled in football, paving the way for his career in the NFL and broadcasting. Akbar's journey serves as a beacon of hope, reminding us all of the untapped power within ourselves to overcome obstacles and realize our dreams.

Crazy times we are living in. Can’t imagine trying to raise a child during this time. Luckily my child came before this madness.

There's a lot of things that feel like "I got on the last chopper out of Vietnam". I got married before the swipe-apps. Same thing.

The government and our schools are doing these things on purpose and by design! If they can separate them from their family and their support systems, they will be easier to control. Don't observe what they do today but step back and view the progression of their changes and demands.

Bingo.
