I come from a family were values are a
matter of fact. You eat with knife and fork. You do not sit down at the table
before father sits down. You do not hang with your elbows on the table. You ask
if you can have a second helping. You do not talk with your mouth full. If you
wanted to leave the table, you ask for permission. To make your own bed was
totally normal.
My parents were wonderful people and they
were so right, as a child you need to learn the difference between dealing with
adults and dealing with their friends.
Children Rules:
Children cannot call their parents by their
first names, Children do not scream at their parents and children do not
criticize their parents. Parents are not your friends, they are your parents. Parents
must teach children how to survive in their own lives. Parents must coach children
to be able to live a respectable life in society. Children must know that when they
leave their parents house that they will be ready and responsible for their own
actions.
Children Rules:
As a child your parent’s house is not your
house, you do not own the house, your parents do. The house you live in is your
home. Everything in your parent’s house belongs to your parents, it is not
yours. You must have respect for your parent’s belongings so you can learn to
have respect for your own and other people’s belongings.
It is a honor to be a father and to have
children who call you Dad. The day you first child is born, your name has been
changed forever, even your wife calls you daddy. The road you embark on is not
an easy road. There are no books to tell exactly how to be a good father. The
only way to stay on this road is to be honest with yourself, your wife and your
children. Your wife and children trusting you from the day your children are born.
You cannot break that trust.
Raising children is a day to day journey
every day is different. From the time your child takes the first step, say the
first word and goes to school for the first time, is not only an achievement
for the child it is indeed also an achievement for the parents. For parents
these are unforgettable times and will be told to family and friends many times
over. As the first few years gone by so fast you sometimes forget to adjust to
your child’s magnificent progress. In the first few years they learn more and
get more impressions than in the rest of their whole lives. The must learn to
talk, learn to walk and to discover new things every single day. Do not push
your child beyond their limits, let they take their time and enjoy their new
discovering's. Love your children; you cannot over spoil your children with
love.Learn from your children they can teach you real live lessons about unconditional love, trust and honor. Give your children pets like a dog, a cat, rabbits, birds or any other animal they fall in love with. For children to be with pets is the ultimate character building. They should learn how to take care of them, how to feed them and where they should stay. The will learn true love, empathy and sadness while caring for an animal.
Teach your child to read at an early age,
if you can manage that they enjoy reading, half their education will be a piece
of cake. Let them read different kind of books for their age. Adventure books,
story books, and also true stories. It gives them an advantage by the time they
reach high school.
As a father you need to be there when your
children going through their education, it is important to follow up on their
progress. Do not leave them on their own. Praise them when they perform and
guide them when the fail.
If you are the best father in the world, you
also will be the best husband in the world. You than embark on a beautiful road
where your wife and your children will be stable and well adjusted. Your wife
cannot do all these things on her own. Your family needs your input and firm
hand.
Let’s drink to all the wonderful fathers in
the world.
