Duncan discusses his experience back in the UK during the Christmas/New Years holidays. Although a mostly positive experience, aware that he did a brilliant job at keeping everyone happy but he expresses some regret at not being in the moment, and talking more in depth with his family members.

Joel raises the issue of discipline, punishment and reward in relation to his sons being addicted to video games. Facing challenges in having his sons listen to him, he has resorted to taking away their beloved Nintendo Switch.

This episode explores discipline for children in Japan. Both Duncan and Joel recount how they were disciplined during their own childhoods and seek answers for a new way to restrict and reward their own kids.

Finally, we discuss how to find and connect with Duncan and Joel: through the Dad Club Japan instagram account, where we will be posting weekly in an effort to reach out to our listeners and to hear their perspectives.

Hope to hear from you!
