I honestly can't believe there are grown men here categorizing themselves as "Chess Dads". How absolutely pathetic.
*snipaweed*
3) How does sitting and doing something totally and completely financially unproductive help you raise your children? Obviously...it doesn't.
Categorize yourself by what YOU are as a man. *snipacoffee*
Financial productivity is the key to raising children? Man, you should write a book. Can't chess dads also identify as other things like a successful business owner etc. Categorize, as a man? You da man! 😂
More seriously though, relax. Coffee and weed just aren't doing it for you. Try meditation?
Not a chess dad. Wish I were.
Finding a good chess club is a good start.
This is excellent advice. Many clubs have programs for youngsters learning the game, with experienced players to guide the learning process and other kids at a similar level to learn with. The USCF member site has a listing of clubs throughout the country.
@CoffeeAnd420, what exactly is the problem with the term chess dad? I admire dads, moms, or any other surrogate parents who see an interest or talent (a healthy, admirable one at that!) in a child entrusted to them, and want to nourish it. (_Especially_ when the parent isn't as good as the child. That's when a narcissist parent decides they're "bored" with it, b/c they can't bear the chance their child might eclipse them at anything.)
Chess dad is the term I use for many of my friends who are physicians, bank executives, software engineers, ...
I coach their children.
You're engaged in discussion with an individual whose sole point in being here seems to be that there's no point in being here.
Think about it. You might as well be talking to the wall. Or Spongey.
why choose when you can do both?
I believe hiring a chess coach is the best thing you can do to help a kid who is showing interest. A good coach will help keep him gain more interest and confidence as he learns new concepts about how to play better. I do offer lessons to beginners and have a track record of teaching more than 80 students (5 to 13 years old). Lessons would be over Chess.com (for sharing an analysis board) and Skype. Rates are negotiable and are cheaper than titled coaches out there. And most titled coaches can't relate to a beginner's problems and thus are not great at teaching beginners. Message me if you're interested in signing up for lessons or if you have any questions.
Guide your kids by dividing their time between school and chess.... go to my website memorychisel.com (Student Corner Menu) ( still for completion) hope may be of help.

I agree, we should teach them poker instead.
Thanks Russ and Ziryab for your comments.
RussBell always has a well organized selection of good resources.
Ah yes, thumbs-upping yourself! How Facebook.
Although I'm tempted to tell you what you can do to yourself, unlike you I have no compulsion to post useless nonsense in these forums....
This entire thread has just reminded me why I quit watching Jerry Springer.
Find an old copy of Winning Chess by Irving Chernov It's Written in old Descriptive notation but it has short puzzles on pins,knight forks.discovered attacks etc. great training for a beginner.
Good advice.

No, you're rather more adept at useful nonsense. Not to mention tooting your own horn.
Apparently you are afflicted with the illusion that the horn you toot is not your own.

Hey lipstick man , you have again started all this? Again insulting people on the forums? Is that all u can do ?
@CoffeAnd420 I've only seen you in two forums so far but I can already tell you love insulting people and achievements.
On a forum congratulating somebody hitting 1600 blitz, you diminished his achievements, and now you're calling people who want to help their child pathetic?
lulz...u mad bro?
No, just laughing at your total idiocy and uselessness to society.
