1. Treat your children as capable
There is an unspoken language that happens between people which allows them to know if others really value them and believe they're capable. This language is especially evident in parents and children, and many children who are struggling are discouraged because they have parents who don't truly believe in them and who don't encourage them consistently.
How do you encourage your children? You allow them to do ageappropriate tasks free of criticism and filled with encouraging comments. You discipline yourself to treat your children based on their potential, not always what you see in front of you. You include them in many activities and give them many opportunities to learn without shaming or guilting them.
Your children will reflect back what they get from you. Fathers who believe in their children have learned to believe in themselves. Seems like both parties benefit here, don't they?
2. Make time for your kids
This is a big problem for a lot of dads, but if there's a will there's a way. If you don't have much time to work with, make the time with your kids special.
How about having a "date" with your son or daughter each week? Are there times when you can include them in your activities around the house or even when you're working? If you're the father of a teenager, have you given up on the idea of spending time with your kid because it's difficult?
They still need you to be involved in their life in a big way. It just might not always seem like it from their comments and behavior! Are there things you can give up in order to spend more time with your kids? (One round of golf each week?) Remember, this is an investment, and they won't be around for that long.
3. Taking care of yourself
It's really difficult to be nurturing and kind to your family if you don't take some time to be kind and nurturing to yourself. What is it that you love to do and that relaxes you?
Time is such a big factor for all of us these days, it's vitally important to find the time each week to take care of yourself in some way and to reduce your level of stress. This will allow the real and genuine you to be with your family, not some angry, stressed-out version of you.
If you don't know how to nurture yourself, now may be a good time to explore that area and to find some answers for yourself.
Mark Brandenburg MA, CPCC, coaches parents by phone to balance their life and improve their family relationships.
He is an Instructor for the Academy for Coaching Parents, and author of "Secrets of Emotionally Intelligent Fathers" Ecourse.
The punctuation of anniversaries is terrible, like the closing of doors, one after another between you and what you want to hold on to.
