I’m frequently asked about raising six kids, and how I can be efficient and meeting goals, and changing my habits when you have numerous children. However, here’s the truth that I do everything else that is productive, because of my children.
My wife and I, as well as them are the main reason for my being.
My lifelong ambition is to become the most perfect father possible. While there are plenty of ways that I can enhance my skills, I’m a pretty good father as I sit and reflect on it. I’m sure there are readers just beginning their dad’s careers and this article is for them.
How do you become a wonderful father? Like always, here is my checklist of tricks:
Always put their interests first always. Do you like smoking cigarettes or drinking? It’s not healthy for them and you’re setting the example by your actions. I stopped smoking around 18 months ago, not just for me but for my children. It’s vital to take care of yourself (otherwise you’ll be incapable of taking charge of them) But you must keep them in your thoughts.
Make sure they are safe. As a father one of your most important duties is to protect your children. There are many ways that you must take to protect your children. Security is one of them: make sure your children are safe in your home, instill safe habits and set an example by wearing a seat belt, ensure they have the car seat when they are below the weight and age limit or. However, financial security is equally crucial: you should have auto insurance and life insurance and an emergency account in and a will.
Spend moment with them. When we come home from work, it’s common to be exhausted and want to unwind. However, this is the only time that we spend to spend with them on weekdays most of the time, and you should not spend the opportunity. Use this time to learn about their day. Lay on the couch and chat with them. On weekends, spend the most time you can to them. Although work might be your favorite It won’t take long before they’re older and don’t desire to be with you. Enjoy these years. What kids most want from their dads are their time.
Send them hugs. Dads should not be afraid to express their love. Children require physical contact, not just from moms. Hug them, snuggle with them, kiss them, and love them.
Enjoy playing with them. Take them outside to play games. Find treasure. Play a pillow fight. Have a game of Transformers and Pokemon together. Don’t be content with watching television. Teach them how to enjoy themselves.
One of the best tips for dads is to do all the “mom” things. The things that are typically thought of as “mom” chores aren’t only for moms anymore feeding, changing diapers bathing, and rocking them to sleep at the end in the evening. Dads are expected to help whenever they can, and should share the responsibilities in a way that is fair. In fact, if you’re a father of a newborn this is the ideal moment to spend time and bond with the child. Take advantage of the opportunity to bond with your child as it is how you begin a long-lasting connection to your kid.
Let them read to you. This is among the most crucial activities you can offer your child. It’s extremely enjoyable. Books for kids are pretty cool and it’s a joy to bring something so wonderful to your child. Additionally, you’re teaching children something that is one of their most essential abilities (reading) which will pay dividends throughout their lives. Thirdly, you’re having a good time with them. You’re in a comfortable position, or sitting with them, and taking pleasure in each other’s company.
Stay with mother. Do not contradict your mother before them Don’t argue with her before them, and, most importantly, don’t do anything to her. Your attitude towards their mother will affect their self-esteem and how they’ll be treated by women and themselves as they are older. Be considerate and kind, and loving to your mother. Always collaborate as a group -and never defying the words of one another.
Help them build self-esteem. Perhaps this is a good thing to say not the case. 1. They’re not ordered in any particular order However, this is among the most crucial points. There’s nothing you can do more effective than giving them a high self-esteem. How can you achieve this? There are many ways to do it however, the main one is by showing your children (not informing the them) that you appreciate your moments with them talking to them and listening as well as by praising the what they accomplish, and giving them instructions (not by telling them) how to be successful. Be encouraging and praiseworthy, don’t be a reprimander or discourager.
Learn about money. This is an aspect that is often neglected in fatherhood articles. It is not necessary to teach your toddler about the index fund or portfolio diversification however, from a young age, you can show children the importance of money, the best way to save money in order to achieve an end goal, and then learning how to earn money, and manage your money effectively. It isn’t your intention to allow your child to leave the world without knowing as much as you did do you?
Do your best to treat yourself. Don’t sacrifice the rest of your life once you become a father. You must take good care of yourself, allow you some time for yourself and spend time with your friends in order to be a successful dad with your children. Make sure you make sure you take care of your health by eating well, exercise regularly since 1) you’re not able to take care of your children in the event of illness, two) you’re instructing your children to live a healthy lifestyle and three) you’d like to be able to spend time with your grandkids in the future.
Make sure you are kind to your mommy. This isn’t exactly the same as no. 8 — you must be nice to your mom even when they’ren’t doing anything. Bring her out for dinner or massage her or do some chores around the home for her, allow her time to herself and watch the baby as she leaves and show her affection and give her little treats. Since when mom is happy, her kids are content. Dad will be also happy!
