WAYS TO BE A BETTER DAD

LOVE YOUR CHILDREN'S MOTHER

It is a precious gift a father passes on to his children



SPEND TIME WITH YOUR CHILDREN

At the end of each week, look and see where time was spent


EARN YOUR CHILD'S EAR

Develop communication outside of just the negative


DISCIPLINE WITH LOVE

Guidance and discipline are lacking today, but be sure they are a function of love and not just a reaction


BE A ROLE MODEL

Because you are a role model!  Both sons and daughters will shape patterns and expectations for the rest of their lives based on their father's life


BE A TEACHER

No one replace what Dad alone can teach


EAT TOGETHER AS A FAMILY

It is one of the easiest ways to bring everyone's days together, but so easy to crowd off the schedule


READ TO YOUR CHILDREN

While many kids lean on technology, there should also be times when they learn from books and Dad together


SHOW AFFECTION

Their security grows with each hug, kiss, evening wrestle, and prayer


REALIZE THAT A FATHER'S JOB IS NEVER DONE

Time with them is short.  Make the most of it.
