5 Qualities That Make the Best Dads
I recall the overwhelming sense of obligation I felt when my wife and I welcomed our first child into the world, realizing that I was now a father, responsible for this new little life and raising this child to become the person God intended them to be. As a mom, I'm sure you understand what I'm talking about.
“I want to be the best dad I can possibly be,” I said to myself at the time. However, I had no idea how to be a good father. I'm grateful for having a wonderful father to learn from, as well as many lessons learned through trial and error during my first few years as a parent. Although there may be more items on this list, here are five qualities to consider.
1. They have a strong but gentle demeanor.
Dads are the foundation of the family. For their family, they must have tremendous emotional and sometimes physical strength. This necessitates their ability to work under duress, make difficult decisions, and remain firm when necessary. Every good father, on the other hand, knows how to be a gentle giant. He recognizes the importance of gentle touch, a warm embrace, and a kind expression.
2. They understand how to have a good time.
Homelife can be the most enjoyable place on the planet, and nothing makes it more enjoyable than a father who knows how to have a good time. Kids enjoy joking around, laughing, wrestling, playing outdoors, playing games, and watching movies, and they particularly enjoy doing so with their fathers. One of the best gifts you can offer your children is to be a dad who knows how to have a good time.
3. They're not afraid to let their imagination run wild.
Children have incredible imaginations. Don't forget that both fathers were once children. So, if they dig far enough, they can use their imagination as well. In the eyes of your kids, going to imaginative places with your children, constructing lego empires, or transporting yourself back in time to the days of cowboys and Indians will make you the best dad. Kids enjoy using their imaginations, and they adore a father who does as well.
4. They are able to take on the role of the villain when necessary.
Although becoming a father can be a lot of fun, let's face it: it's a lot of work! Your children need a parent more than a mate. This necessitates acting as their parent when necessary, even if it means becoming the villain. It's what God intended for us to do. It can be difficult at times, but it's all part of the high calling of fatherhood.
5. They understand how to deal with women.
The best fathers know how to handle their daughters and wives, and how to teach their children to do the same. This begins with how he handles his wife and daughter at home (s). The best fathers understand how to handle their daughters physically, mentally, and verbally.
Every child deserves to have the best father possible. And any child can do it. But it's entirely up to you and entirely up to me. We get to decide whether or not we have the qualities required to be the best father our children want and deserve.
