Home and Family

Most men today want to be more than just breadwinners, and they also want to share in as many aspects of parenting as possible. In fact, many dads today want to have a closer bond with their sons, something they never had with their own fathers, and most are determined to have a better relationship with their own kids.

Here are seven great ideas to help dads form a closer relationship with their kids:-

1. Find something you have in common with your kids: Dads will relate a lot better with their kids if there is a shared interest. This can sometimes be tricky, as most men tend to relate better when being active and tend to teach through games. If sport is not something you have an interest in, than you need to find something that your child enjoys doing, and take an active interest in that. For example, Let your child involve you in their hobbies or sporting activities.

2. Spend quality time with your sons: From the age of five, a boy thinks their dad is much like Superman or their favorite superhero, and tends to give their mother a much harder time at this stage. Dads need to find the time to spend as much time with their sons as possible in these years, and not make each game a lesson or push them too hard.

Before you have children, you can live a carefree and selfish life where things are just about you and your wife. Once kids enter the picture, your life becomes hectic, but is enriched and changes in ways you can’t even begin to imagine. You may be surprised at the things you’ll do as you strive to be a great dad to your children, and in the process become a better human.

You Become less of a Daredevil: Where you once didn’t hesitate to go skydiving or extreme snowboarding with a why-not?! attitude, you now know fear and think to yourself, “what are this little baby and my wife going to do if I break my neck doing these stupid stunts?”

You Respect your Wife and Love her in a New Way: She waddled for nine month carrying your baby and then you watched her give birth. As you see her nurturing your little tyke, you realize that you are darned lucky to have this woman around to help you raise this little human being. She’s a rock star and you know you couldn’t do this without her.

Many people believe that women marry men that resemble the male influence growing up as a child. So what about the little girl whose dad is not around? A little girl growing up without a father or a dad who is not good tries to find love in all the wrong places. If the mom is not able to guide the child completely because she is working to provide then other influences come in. The influence comes from television, music and peers. It could even come from other family members. If no one teaches the child right from wrong then she is likely to fall into the wrong crowd. The crowd that is promiscuous at a young age fulfills loneliness with physical touch. The little girl will start to think this is the only way for her to get the love she has been looking for all her life. Then she will end up pregnant at a young age or marry a man who does not love her correctly. This little girl has low self esteem because she does not know about true love.
