Tom Brady drops words of wisdom on parenting as father of three to Benjamin, Jack and Vivian
Being a single dad to three kids, Benjamin Jack and Vivian, Tom Brady had his share of unique parenting experiences. The NFL legend has often spoken about his fatherhood experience and all the struggles he has dealt with throughout his journey.
On Wednesday, Brady appeared on Jake Paul's "Impaulsive" podcast, where the former quarterback reflected on his parenthood journey and talked about the wisdom he has gained from co-parenting his kids with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan and ex-wife Gisele Bündchen.
"What I've learned over the last few years with being a parent is just being there," Brady said. "Because you don't know when the conversations are going to happen." [Timestamp: 54:45]
Moving forward, Brady explained how one could script those parent-kids conversations in any way possible, like:
"Hey, we're going to Disneyland and we're going to have this great day."
However, the most important part, according to Brady, was to be present in those moments to hard launch those conversations.
"So as a parent, you got to be available and you got to be present, and that's where the parenting happens," Brady added. "Not in the big moments. A lot of times it's in the small moments."
