Commitment to Fatherhood Excellence
THE ACTIVE DAD
It breaks my heart- but I see it all the time. Walking into a home with the families I work with to see the kids acting batty or fighting and dad with a remote or controller in his hand- oblivious to the ensuing war that is all around him. Or "DAD CEO" as I call it-crunching the numbers and working on the laptop in the bedroom or office with real life passing him by with every click.
I'm not bashing it either- I love my HALO and C,O.D. as much as the next guy- but at what point is our "presence" actually absence? How do we manage?
It is the time of year that we make new resolutions and make changes for the better. Join with me to make a resolution. To be an active dad. To put away the phones, the devices, all the distractions during each night and be truly present with out children. To give them a dad that gives them great childhood memories. To commit to fatherhood excellence. Not perfection- but being a role model that they can count on and relate to.
And C.O.D.? Only after bedtime ;) Have a great start to the new year guys.
