Diary of Fatherhood

Are you building a legacy on the heritage you received? Are you wasting the heritage you received by not building a legacy on it? Are you building a fresh legacy despite not receiving a heritage? Are you not building a legacy because you didn't receive a heritage, thus propagating the vicious cycle? Click here to read the full post.

On our way to John’s swimming class, we drove for a while in silence then I got a hunch to ask him how things were going with him. You know, men are wired to carry on silently in each other’s company without much chit-chatting, yet no threat will be posed to their relationship. That was the mood I perceived initially as we drove on. However, I couldn’t resist the urge to ask him the question. Me :...

Hi! I have truly enjoyed sharing my fatherhood values with you over the past few days. If you have equally enjoyed the emails, you will now begin to receive them once a week or periodically. I'm excited that I will be exploring the world of intentional parenting with you. It's going to be a joint exploration because it is meant to be a dialogue and not a monologue. So, moving forward, you will be...

Hi! I truly appreciate your commitment to taking this tour with me. Welcome to the final day of introduction to my Diary of Fatherhood. Today, I will be sharing with you my fatherhood philosophy of "Being a Provider." Honestly, I did not think that I needed to include "being a provider" as one of the values of my fatherhood. I assumed that fathers are meant to be providers and providing for their...

Hi! I am excited that you are here again. Welcome to Day Four of introduction to my Diary of Fatherhood. Today, I will be sharing with you my fatherhood philosophy of "Dialogue." Dialogue is one of the principles that drive my fatherhood experience. The overall theme of Dairy of Fatherhood is conversational. The insights that I share mainly stem from the dialogue with my children. Hardly, there be...

Hi! Thank you for staying with me as I give you this mind tour of my fatherhood principles. Today is Day Three and I want to share with you another philosophy called Intentional Listening. Have you ever imagined that all is well with somebody just because you asked them a question that is structured to generate a positive response? Some examples of such questions are: · "Did you have a good day?"...

Hi! I am pleased to welcome you to Day Two of introduction to my Diary of Fatherhood. Today, I will be sharing with you my fatherhood philosophy of "Creating a Safe Environment." I believe that one of the best gifts that can be offered in a relationship is to be vulnerable with each other. I said that to a friend some time ago, and they debunked it strongly, claiming that they cannot let down thei...

Hi! Thank you for coming back and welcome to Day One of introduction to my Diary of Fatherhood. Today, I will be sharing with you my fatherhood philosophy of "Being Present." Please consider the following questions. · "Dad, will you be tucking us into bed tonight?" · "Dad, did you check on us last night?" · "You're off, today right?" Or "So what are we doing on your next off day?" · "Dad, are you...
