what will i do to be a good father to my kids?

Answer 1

YOU SHOULD LIVE BY EXAMPLE TO THEM. LOVE THEM, PROTECT THEM AND DICIPLINE THEM. ALWAYS BE THERE FOR THEM! PUT THEIR NEEDS AND FEELINGS BEFORE YOUR OWN! CHERISH THEM!

Answer 2

If you have not been there for most of their life and lets say they are under 10 years old; they will not hold grudges and all you have to do is pick up from where you left off at becasue at this age they will forgive you, but if they are in their teens things can be a little more difficult because by this age they have gotten used to you not being around and have forumulated an opinion of you already. What you have to do is show them and tell them that you will never leave them again, and mean it, because if you leave again they will probably still love you, but hate you at the same time. Money cant make up for lost time, but if you show them you love them from this point on they will come around and love you as their dad. Just dont screw up again.

Answer 3

You did not say what your current situation is, if you are married to the Mother, divorced etc.
With that being said, don't make the mistake dead beat Dad's do because I am here to tell you the results would be terrible. I know. My Ex hardly has anything to do with his and now my 15 year old is pregnant why to fill the void of her Dad not being there for her to prove she will love her child since he did not with her.
It is very important to be in their lives as much as you possibly can aside from work and such. Never make plans and break them over and over again, never make promises you can not keep and always no matter what make it a point to speak with them daily and to tell them how much you love them.
I hope this helps. Take care

Answer 4

nothing beats investment of time for kids. Just play with them, be there for them and show them that you are always ready to help them out and will accept them for whatever imperfection they have. They will see you as a very good father if you do that. More than money, kids look for the security of knowing their parents will always be there for them. This will give them a better self esteem. You live for your kids to be happy so always remember that it doesn't take much to keep them happy, just TIME. Quality time is more important than financial upliftment.

Answer 5

To be a good father one child is not to give your child conditional love but unconditional.
Some fathers seem to give their love on condition that the child is obedient at all times, that's OK but no child is obedient at all times.
A good father doesn't spoil his child either, give encouragement where due, interact with your child even if to ask him/her what was it like at school today?
However if father start from the very first day of birth there will be no problem achieving the very best results.

Answer 6

Remember your the dad. With that comes the responsibility to nuture, protect, and develope that little person into a responsible,caring human being. A hint: your not their friend you are the father. Time will come when you can be friends, but fathers job is to teach.

Answer 7

LOVE THEIR MOTHER! Not just love her but respect her. Show your kids how a relationship is supposed to work. That love will spill over on the kids and wrap the entire family in a safety net against the harms of the world.

Answer 8

I have 3 brother and we all loved our father very much. We all thought from God mouth to our fathers ear. Our father loved us more than he love himself. he kissed and huged us when we were good and punished us when we were bad. And I got punished alot. I was very naughty. but all I can remember is laughing while growing up.
he and my mother were there ever day. to give praise when warranted and punish us when he had too.
I hope you will be as great a father as he was.

Answer 9

Spend time with them, as a group and with each one individually. Get to know them as individuals. Teach them right from wrong and hold them accountable. Be a parent, not a friend. Be someone they know they can come to when they need someone to talk to, knowing they'll get sound and honest advice. If they screw up, and they will, don't tell them the are stupid, but explain how the choice they made was a bad one. Be someone they know they can lean on.

Answer 10

First of all and most important is to LOVE them!! let them feel that....Be their friend, let them feel secured through you, get down to their level of understanding, then react from your personal experience level to teach them ethics, right and wrong. day by day you will see the accumulated experiences they are getting from you, and you will know you are on the right track.

Share them in the most you can share with in their small world, make them love the Lord if they did they will definitely love you.

Take them to church, read together in the bible and pray with them.

Make them understand to feel the others and share them to make them more extended to the out side of their limited circle.

Use your life experience to prohibit any inappropriate behavior they may show and never to give up if they didn't comply from the first time it takes time and effort to teach them, specially if your heading the calm track of teaching and not the violent way.

What ever people will answer you, it is you the one will find the best way to grow up your kids with, but never to forget LOVE is name of the game.....Good luck

Answer 11

Love them unconditionally, guide them, respect them. Let them know that no matter how bad their situation is, you will be there for them to discuss it with you. Accept them for what they are. Provide a good home, food, and an education. Let them earn their privileges.
