Sure you are an incredible dad, the best dad! But you may be forgetting some small details that make a better relationship with your child. Take note!
THIS IS WHAT THE BEST DADDY DOES
1. Give time. Make plan games, outings, meals, etc. and make time in your schedule to dedicate yourself exclusively to your child; he will never forget those moments.
2. Tell your child how much you love him. Years ago it was believed that dads were only home providers and were not actively involved in raising their children. That has already changed! Today they are more parents who are involved in it and also are the most affectionate with their children. Don’t skimp, your love and affection strengthen children’s self-esteem.
3. Create an environment of love and respect. In addition to the love for your son and the time he gives him, it is important for him to see that you respect his mother, friends, etc. This will give your child the security and stability he needs to develop.
4. Take advantage of every moment. Make food, household chores, school tasks, car trips and any situation one more opportunity to share and teach your child values such as: love of work, generosity, honesty, service, teamwork, recycling, etc. It will be very fun!
5. Communicate positively. Teach your child to always give the best of himself, highlight his skills and virtues. He needs your appreciation and motivation. Listen to it; he knows their stories, their interests and their fears; let him know he can trust you.
6. Read with your child. Teach him the love of reading from a very young age. Reading is one of the best ways to ensure they have a successful life. When he enters school, help him with homework; share with him the joy of knowing and learning all the time!
7. Teach discipline with love and patience. Set clear, fair and reasonable rules. Remember that the goal is for your child to develop good behavior and character. Avoid getting angry; If necessary, take time to think and discuss with your partner the best way to correct their mistakes and behaviors.
8. It is your example. Actions speak louder than words. Your child will imitate or do, whether you like it or not. You’re consistent with what you say and do. Show yourself to him as a human being with strengths and weaknesses and you will see that he too will learn to trust you and be honest always.
9. Don’t overprotect it. Let it live. It is important that your child knows that your love for him is unconditional and that he can count on you in any circumstance, but he also needs to understand that his actions have consequences and that his decisions, good or bad, will determine his destiny.
10. Create memories. The moments you live with your child today are the history of your family and time passes quickly. When you least realize you will be attending his graduation. Take photos, record videos, write her a letter or card on special occasions or on any day. Sharing these memories will help you remember where he came from and guide you where you are going in life.
