Father’s Week on WNZR – Monday!

Today, we kicked off Father’s Week here in WNZR and we’ll be sharing encouragement for dad’s every day!

We began with some roles that dads should embrace. These are important models that your children need in their lives!

We also shared some great examples that you can set for your kids! These are extremely important as children often mimic their parents so we want to be setting the best example we can.
