Future Fathers FF

Showing you child Affection! Can and has been made hard for dads to do in public but its a natural part of life, some dads are more affectionate than others but its in all of us to show our children some affection from time to time.

How we treat Each other! Its becoming a serious problem and is seems like we don't really care but I know that couldn't be further from the truth, we have a deep feeling for each other but its not translated well to the wider populous, if only we come together the possibilities are endless and imagine what that means for our children.

Encouragement! is something we all need at some point but our children might need it a little more consistently, they are growing after all! and mistakes will be made but when their interest falter or you can see they need a push its not bad to encourage them to continue or try something else that is after all how we find what we like and in turn ourselves.

The Significance of Time Is such a big gift but some of us take it for granted, some of us distance ourselves from it and some even try to avoid it but it catches up with all of us and we need to learn how and who to spend it wisely with.

Coping Mechanisms have Changed! OH have they, I can remember a time ( I sound so old ) when coping with most things meant having a thick skin, and i feel most of our young generation are soft as heck, you cant say anything to them without offending them or triggering something.

Education doesn't Stop at School we had a good discussion on this topic, its something that we as parents need to pay close attention to as we have to remember we are their first teachers and their life guides, but we must remember they are like our inspectors and will show us what we might need to adjust within ourselves.

Lines Of Communication! The lines of communication are important to be kept open as they help up build and keep relationships open, how busy must we be to put off family, loved ones and our cuircle? im still learning how and we can all get better, after all its for the sake of our children we want to be better.

Relationships! The relationships we form over our live our children see closely and they emulate what they see, we as their parents must remember that the relationships our children form will be based in how they see us relate to out loved ones friends and acquaintances.

Experience and Life Our own experiences in life help us navigate the waters of parenthood and most anything else in our existance so why do some of us not lean into our experiences more and pass on the information we have that can help more than just ourselves?  Its time to let the experience show.

Drugs and our Children! Something we all hopefully avoid but some have to endure this everyday with their children, those of us who have experienced this have the knowledge have the advice for those of us who have never been through it or are entering into this murky part of life.

Your the Man! This one id for the dads by the dads , don't forget yourselves as we can do or just  focus on ourselves, the experience is to be lived, so live it!

Helping Our Children Know who they are  Is an important part of us as parents being able to guide our children and help them find who they are.

Extra Curricular Door Openers As I'm sure most of you know how important it is for our children to have activities to occupie their time but extra activities that inspire them to go further in a profession or hobby can help them excel in all aspects of life.

We're not connected like we used to be! Is true in so many ways, our children so much time online and we as parents do also but time spent together doing things can be just as important.

Real life isn't on a screen! I think the title says a lot, and the youngsters of today rely on that screen for validation and so much more but we need to keep them and their minds full of opportunity and life.

Confidence! Is something some of us don't gain until were older but building it starts in the home with US the Parents so be sure the confidence you give off id the kind of confidence you want your child to emulate.

Dads Are Important! Despite what many may think dad has a very prominent role to play in his Childs life and it is imperative that we make sure the next generation of fathers knows this and have to confidence to raise their children without thinking I'm not what they need, because they need us as much as they need their mums.

Trying to keep our Children on the straight Path! Is not an easy task trust me! we all have our own struggles and so do our children but we are the ones who have experienced life just a little more than them so its up to us to show them a better existence.

Summer Holiday & Teenage Guidance A convo with my Bro about general teenage advice and dealing with our children over the summer holidays.

Don't forget yourself! my brothers we need to take care of ourselves just as much as our children otherwise who will look after them?

Money Management! Should be something we teach our children from a young age and when they are able to start earning for themselves.

How much we spend on our Children vs Ourselves! Its not a joke that we may spend too much money on our children but for some its the only way to know we have made their lives better than ours were.

Pets! Should be a part of a young Childs life as it is an opportunity to teach them about responsibility and expressing love amongst other things.

Relationship with Dad! is something to be proud of and most of us don't even have that, well build it yourself! life is too short and fleeting to let one of the most important relationships go.

Beating Vs Talking is a topic I know much about as i took a couple beatings as a child and had to shell out a couple as a parent myself, but is there a need ? in some cases Yes and some not at all, you as the parent have to judge your Childs situation.
