True love is not a feeling. It is a decision. It’s an act of the will to be patient, kind, humble, hopeful, giving, faithful and trusting. The number one source of security for kids is to know that their dad loves their mother and is steadfastly committed to her well-being.
How you spend your time is a reflection of what’s important to you. If you value your kids, you’ll want to be with them. Grab every moment you can get with your children.
It’s impossible to underestimate the importance of a father modeling the type of behavior he desires to see in his children. Role models don’t just talk the talk; they walk the walk of an honorable man.
Like you, every child has unique DNA, unique fingerprints, and a unique personality. In order to be the best father you can be, you’ll need to understand your children as individuals. Don’t get tempted to wish for the next stage of their development. Have fun with them now, and make memories that last a lifetime.
Children long for a secure place in this fast-paced world. They find it most often in the warm embrace of a parent. But showing affection doesn’t stop there. Make sure to say, “I love you” everyday.
Financial stress is one of the leading factors that tears families apart. In order to put your family in a position of strength, you have to shore up your finances.
Most children today don’t know the meaning of a family dinnertime. Yet the communication and unity built during this time is integral to a healthy family life. Sharing a meal together—breakfast, lunch or dinner—provides structure to an often hectic schedule.
Discipline’s role is not to intimidate or tear down, but to mold and to correct. Correcting your kids should be done in private, and you and your wife should be unified in how you discipline. Strive to be consistent.
Families that have a healthy prayer life and take worshipping God seriously help their children to understand that there is an ultimate authority in their lives—an authority who provides moral absolutes for them to live by.
As he allows his children their freedom to direct their own lives, a good father realizes that he doesn’t abandon them at a dorm room, a wedding altar, or the door of their first job. He continues to encourage, coach and convey his wisdom to his children forever.

“My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could ever give another person: he believed in me.”— Coach Jim Valvano.
“Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” Proverbs 22:6
Never abdicate your authority and duty as a father to your kids. The wrong things will be waiting to fill the void left behind. Stand firm.
Solid parental discipline is a balance between nurturing and structure. We earned respect not by yelling or bullying, but by simply ensuring there will be a consequence of both good and bad actions.
In the eyes of a little child, the world is BIG. And so are you, Dad. You’re Superman. We cherish that role and earn it each day.
We also found quotes from dads and for dads that are encouraging and full of advicce from allprodad.com. Take few minutes to read though these quotes and share them with your dad this week!
