Good Father

Most fathers are fathers only for name sake. They are so on top of the world when their little child is born. They spend a lot of time playing with their child. They buy them gifts and so on. But when the child grows old they tend to forget to cater towards the emotional needs of their child. Granted a good father is one who is a good provider for the family but then he should take time to talk to and listen to the child. How was the day of the child at school. What did he or she do. Inquire as to which are their favorite subjects, who is their favorite teacher and who are their best friends, What are their favorite sports and so on. Let the child know that he or she is important. Eat with the child. The child will eat along with the father and soon grow healthy as opposed to children who do not like to eat at all when eating alone. A child must always be encouraged where the father tells the child I love I care for you I believe in you. I am always there for you. Even if you are in a problem I am always there. Hug the child every now and then. Show in actions that you love him or her. The child will grow to be confident and will have a sense of security that somebody cares. Give necessary things to the child not everything he wants so as to spoil the child. Chocolates and sweets only once a while not every time. The child must be encouraged by telling him that he is the best. he can do anything he wants to do. There is nothing he cannot do. Pray with him. Go to church with him. Read the bible with him. The child will grow to be emotionally strong and loved.
