- Protective. One of the essential qualities of a father or any parent is that protective instinct. As soon as you become a dad, you must help protect your child and care for them at any cost.
- Dependable. As a dad, it’s essential to be there for your children. It’s one of the key attributes of a good father. This could be when they are a newborn, and you start to teach them you will always be there through the dirtiest of diapers and the roughest of nights or as they get older and you show up for their sports or plays.
- Interested. Sometimes it’s hard to understand our children or listen to them talk about the importance of this toy over their latest TV show, but it’s essential to show interest in their interests and listen to them as they talk to you.
- Honest. Honesty doesn’t mean that you speak to your child as an adult. Instead, it means that you keep your word to your child. If you say you will be somewhere and miss it, tell them why.
- He Gets On The Floor With His Kids. A great dad enters the world of his kids. He gets down on the floor and embraces their play environment. He seeks out eye-to-eye contact to better connect with his kid.
- He Listens. A great dad puts his phone away when his kid is near. He waits for them to finish the sentence they’re too excited or tired to get out of their mouth.
- He Scaffolds. Scaffolding is when a child engages in a task beyond their level of ability with an appropriate level of help. This grading technique is a skill requiring a lot of attention, adaptability, and instinct.
- He Pauses Before He Reacts. Kids will push the boundaries. They will make mistakes and challenge you. That’s non-negotiable. What is modifiable, however, is how you react.
- Cherish your time with them. One thing that will amaze you is how quickly the years will fly. My oldest daughter is 15, which means I have three short years with her before she leaves the nest.
- It gets easier. Others may have different experiences, but I’ve always found the first couple of months the most difficult, when the baby is brand new and wants to feed at all hours of the night and you often have sleepless nights and walk around all day like zombies.
- Don’t look at anything as “mom” duties — share responsibilities. While there are a lot of good things from our grandparents’ day that we should bring back, the traditional dad/mom split of parenting duties isn’t one of them.
- Love conquers all. This one sounds corny, but it should be at the center of your dad operating philosophy: above all, show your children love. When you’re upset, instead of yelling, show them love.
- Respect Your Children's Mother. One of the best things you, as a dad, can do for your children is to respect their mother. If you are married, maybe this goes without saying, but I'll say it just in case; keep your marriage strong and healthy.
- Spend Time With Your Children. This is more complicated that is sounds, I know. But, how a dad spends his time tells his children what's important to him.
- Listen First, Talk Second. All too often the only time a father speaks to his children is when they are getting in trouble. That's why many children may cringe when their mother says, "Your father wants to talk with you."
- Discipline With Love. All children need guidance and discipline, not as punishment, but to set reasonable limits. Remind your children of the consequences of their actions and provide meaningful rewards for desirable behavior.
