Tool’s For Dads


_luv_dad_.jpgLuckily, Dads don’t need fancy equipment to build a solid foundation for their children. In fact, it’s just the opposite. The simplest tools make the biggest difference. Here are some tool tips for Dads:


Listen. Right from birth, a child communicates. The more you listen, the more he or she will tell you-and you will learn what’s important to him or her.

Play. Play time is not only plain fun, it encourages children to be active and creative, as well as creating wonderful memories that will last a lifetime .

Be patient. Children learn from watching. Show your child how to best solve problems and face challenges. These are important skills for life.

Spend time. Time is the most important tool fathers have for building solid relationships. Use it well.

Fatherhood is a long-term project. But when Dads roll up their sleeves and jump in-spend time … read stories … offer encouragement … lend an ear-they can help their children learn to stand firmly on their own two feet.
