a good father/parrent teaches his kids proper morales. He should be actively involved in all aspects of his child's life, and teach them right from wrong. A good father sticks by his kid through the good times, and the bad times, always loving, patient, and understanding. A good father should provide for his kids, but always make time for them. A good father should be proud of his children and their accomplishments, no matter how big or how small.

There is no rule book and every child has different needs, but here are a few starters. Spend as much healthy, quality time with your kids as you can. Discipline them when they do something wrong (not like beatings or anything). You do them a great injustice to not stick to a punishment so make sure the punishment fits the crime and see it through. Tell them you love them as often as you can. As they get to be teens, ask them about school and friends. Be involved in their lives. They might not like it now, but will be better off and appreciate it as they get older. Don't let them manipulate you. Yes is yes and No is no. These are only a few but their are so many more that you kinda have to figure out as you go along. Good luck. By the way, the fact that your asking shows that you are on the right track.

Well, friend,
Let it be known I'm talking out my *ss, here,
but
The primary goal of ANY parent is to insure that their child(ren) have a better life than they did...
Look at those men considered great fathers through times past - they ground it down to a nub through the toughest times, working two or three shitty jobs during recessions, depressions and long hard winters in order to sacrifice so that their children may have MORE, may have the opportunities they never had...
Your son/daughter will at some point be an individual human packed to the rafters with hopes and dreams. Dad has gotta be that guy to facilitate, to inspire....
However - it's a fine line a man must walk - spoil a kid and they'll just wind up soft...
So
You find a way to help them without carrying them
Be there to advise, to inspire, to aid.
Don't always give them what they want
but
Always give them what they need

Do the best you can be there for your child to help them, guild them, protect them, teach them. give them advice, and when they do and will make mistake be there for them, hope they make the right decisions in life and when when things go wrong comfort them. No one has the answers on how to be a good father if your a good man and have good values, you will be a great father. We all make mistakes and don't feel bad about them learn from them. Good Luck

Good. Lets go for awesomely great mentor and strong caregiver, shall we. To provide a certain stability and a well rounded mentor to your child you first have to give up your pursuit of what was....Try not to see you in your child but your child as having his/her own creative qualities/ideas. Also, try to reason instead of the first response which is to bather or show who's in charge. Authority, which can and will always ends up combative with an insensitive outcome filled with angst . Also at every cost show respect, it will without a doubt comes back to you ten-fold. Having a child is priceless- besides, you get laughter and great memories. Always remember- under any circumstances your child, family comes in first with that in mind you'll be that twinkle in your child's eyes

Wow you have inspired me.I got tears in my eyes.I thought that the age of good fathers is over but after reading this question I can see hope.I don't mean that guys are very bad but they focus mostly on money.
If you want to be good father give your kids time when you are near them and don't think of some one else.This is something that your kid can never buy.

If only there were a how to manual on parenting....First thing always listen to your child, no matter how silly or outrageous the question. Be yourself, honesty and straight forward answers works best. Good Luck. I'm sure you'll do just fine.

By listening and being patient. Do not be afraid to make a mistake or tell them every day you love them. Get dirty with them and make a mess. Think about all the things that you would want your dad to do and do those things. Good luck and congrats on being a Dad!!

Be ever present with your children. Honesty. Be a good example to your children. Don't forget your wife. Make dates with your wife; it can be difficult when children are in the mix. Children are wonderful and teach us many things about life. Don't forget that love between you and your wife though. The respect you show toward your wife and the love will be a reflection to you children who in turn will be the same. Good Luck.
