THE MOMENT I REALIZED
It was my daughter Emma's first piano recital. I had promised—absolutely promised—I would be there.
But then the client emergency happened. The one that "couldn't wait."
I texted my wife: "Running late. Start without me."
By the time I slipped into the back of the auditorium, Emma had already performed. I caught her eyes scanning the crowd as she returned to her seat, looking for me.
The slight slump in her shoulders when she couldn't find me is burned into my memory.
Later that night, she said with a forced smile: "It's okay, Dad. You're busy. I understand."
But she shouldn't have had to understand.
That's when I realized: I couldn't see my own pattern. I thought missing one recital was the problem. It wasn't. The pattern was the problem—and I'd been blind to it for years.
I built this quiz after I realized I couldn't see my own patterns until someone named them.

COMMON QUESTIONS
"I don't have 10 days—I'm too busy."
The 10-day plan is designed for busy dads. Day 1 takes 1 minute. Even on your hardest days, you'll have a 1-minute option. This fits your life, not the other way around.
"My kid is a teenager—will this still work?"
Yes. The method adapts to age. Teenagers need different approaches than toddlers, but the framework works for ages 1-18. Your quiz results will give you age-appropriate actions.
"I've tried 'being present' before and failed."
That's because "be present" isn't actionable. You need to know your SPECIFIC pattern—what's blocking you. Once you see your blind spot, you know exactly what to fix. That's what this quiz reveals.

YOUR KIDS WON'T REMEMBER YOUR MEETINGS
My daughter is 14 now.
She doesn't ask me to play anymore. She doesn't wait up for me at night. She's learned to live without expecting me to be fully there.
But my son is 9. And I'm not making the same mistake twice.
Here's what I know now that I didn't know then:
You can't "be more present" if you don't know what pattern is making you absent.
You tell yourself to try harder. But harder at what? You feel guilty, but guilt doesn't show you the way forward.
This quiz takes 2 minutes. It names the pattern you can't see. Then gives you the exact steps to fix it.
Your kids won't be this age tomorrow. But you can start changing your pattern tonight.
