In today’s fast-paced world providing for your family and at the same time being a dad is no easy task. But with a little extra help and some sound advice, you can become a better dad. Here are some tips from our readers who suggest that there can be no replacement for love and spending quality time with your kids. So be a friend and role model to your kids but always let them know who the boss is. “Make it a point to know your children's friends, what they like about that person, etc. Refrain from any criticisms, but if you are uncomfortable about your child's association with a particular child or their family, try to see if your concerns are truly justified - if so, take the time to express those concerns to your child (if appropriate) and listen carefully to your child's feedback.” “Have an open line of communications with your children. Take time every day to talk to them about their day, their schoolwork and their concerns.” “To be a better dad, listen to them. Really listen and take in what they are saying and feeling. Nodding your head and saying yes rolls right off them.” “Stay involved in your child's personal life!” “I think it's important to treat your children as individuals, and to give them what they need without shorting yourself.” “Don't forget, they are the kids and you are the parent.” “Don't be afraid of being the parent. You don't have to be their best buddy all the time but you do have to be the parent.” “Do what's best for your kids, even if you think it's makes you the bad guy.” “Take an active role in your child’s education.” “Do lots of different projects, games, crafts, baking, play dates with your children to create memories.” “Listen to your kids. Don't sweat the small stuff and enjoy every moment. Time flies!” “Be their friend and NEVER betray your child's trust.” Article Source: http://www.articlealley.com/article_955889_35.html Add this page to your favorite Social Bookmarking websites |
