Jason Kelce says his children think he’s a 'bad dad' for pushing them to try new things
Jason Kelce explained how he tries to help his daughters overcome fears by making them face them directly.
“I keep trying to get my kids to ... go and do stuff, because I feel like that’s how I overcame [fears], you just go and do it and you’re like, ‘Oh, that isn’t that bad,’” Jason, 37, said on his 'New Heights' podcast. “My kids won’t do it,” he explained.

However, Jason noted that his own children react differently.

"The logistics of travel, school, and childcare were just too overwhelming,” Kylie Kelce told Today.
“They don’t also really watch football in a way that they would enjoy being in the stadium for the duration of the Super Bowl,” she explained.
“So in an effort to sort of just give everyone their best shot at enjoying the day, they will be watching the Super Bowl from home,” Kylie said.
