"Being a great father is like shaving. No matter how good you shaved today, you have to do it again tomorrow." - Reed Markham

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

When we're not fully able to grieve and we're asked to go on as if nothing happened, anger and rage are the end result.

Fatherhood: Where you become a pro at the "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed" look.

@DADingDifferent My way of DADing is being available.. not always being there physically but always accessible... If you need me, I'm there.... Whether to play, to talk, to listen or just to act as a flesh-and-blood bouncing castle.

Remember, if you DO NOT teach your children ownership; taking responsibility for what is in their domain, then you are inadvertently teaching them entitlement. Read that AGAIN, slowly.

Remember to show up for yourself DAILY.
Be present in your own life.
Let your 'A' game be your everyday game.
Trust me, your kids are watching and they will not be scared to show up in theirs because you did.

Remember to tell your children your story; your childhood dreams, fun moments, lessons learnt before they came along, your dreams and hopes for them. Let them know from you and not wait to read it in your Eulogy!

@mlbelites_ Dad's showing up for their sons... Seldom shown in today's media!....

Commit yourself to a life of learning; don't just depend on how you were raised.
Get relevant books, watch parenting videos, join a community of parents with same values or values you aspire to instill in your kids.

Teach your children about boundaries - Physical and emotional, by helping them set some and respecting them yourself.
Learn about setting some for yourself while at it.

Seek to be better mentally, emotionally, physically and financially, so that whatever ails you ends with you.
When you Know better, seek to do better.

Two fish are in a tank, one turns to the other and asks, " How do you drive this thing?"

Take some time to relax and enjoy yourself; it really is never that serious.

Adults make children then children make parents.
Let your child guide you how they want to be Loved, then Love them uniquely and deeply.

No need to break your back trying to be original.

"I am Sorry"
"I don't know, let's learn together"
"I was wrong, forgive me".
Strong Dad's are not afraid to say these words to their children.

Remind your child often that THEY ARE ENOUGH.
Let them know that for certain, before they go out into the world; the world will tell them almost everything else but that.

We get to be Dads. We don't really have to, WE GET TO.

Unpopular opinion:
Your kids do not owe you anything because they didn't ask to be here but you still owe them an awesome dad. so give them one!
