Dad tip: Take your kids with you on errands Yes it may add a few minutes to your total errand time, but you more than make up for that for two reasons: 1) your kids see you interacting with the world, even at a young age. They're laying down a mental roadmap of how you behave

A massive percentage of marriage problems would be solved if men behaved as if they were dating/courting their wife Don't be the bum who's 10 years into a marriage and sits around on the couch all day Be the guy you were when she met you. Be the guy who made her fall in love in

I don't know who needs to hear this but read to your kids. Read to them more than you think you should. And then read to them even more. And finally, for good measure, read to them a little bit more than that.

The formula for being a great dad is simple, but not easy Protect: This one's first for a reason. You're the first line of defense (and the last line). You have to be dangerous, and you have to be capable of sensing danger. The stakes are too high to leave your family's safety

Lead by example because "Actions speak louder than words" You hear this a lot And it can be helpful, but it's not entirely true Because you actually need both. You need words and actions as a dad. If you don't reinforce your behaviors with verbal lessons, you're leaving way

So "Fan the flame" of effort. Tie effort and intentional practice to success. This way they'll have the tools to become competent at whatever they try. And they'll learn the most important lesson about success: It doesn't matter how much of a "natural" you are if you don't
