ANYWHERE WHERE YOUR KIDS DESERVE YOUR FULL ATTENTION!!

Just a reminder that as a dad, it’s ok to experience the following:
- not always being in a good mood
- not always wanting to play with your kids
- not feeling like socializing
- not being patient
- raising your voice
- not having energy
- wanting to crash on the couch
-etc

The world would have a lot less problems if parents just did their job right. Raise your kids, prioritize them, love and support them. Always be there for them no matter what. Listen to them.
Good people produce good kids who then do good in the world.
You yell at your kid.
You feel awful afterwards.
You grabbed him a bit too violently out of frustration.
You regret it for days.
Maybe you even hit him when you lost control.

Yeah, she dances on my tongue

And I could never get enough

It's a craving, not a crush, huh"

I confess:
I wasn't always sure I wanted kids.
I never had much experience with kids. Usually stayed away from them, didn't come naturally to me to play with them or interact at all.
Was handed a friend's baby once. Wasn't sure how to hold him.
I had my first child years
6) Giving party gifts at birthday parties
Seriously, what the f&*! is this ridiculous tradition?
If it's not your birthday, you don't get a gift. Period.
Kids need to understand that they don't get a gift for no reason.
3) Stop giving them dessert after dinner
Some people actually have dessert every day.
Outrageous!
And then we wonder why kids are fat, lazy and have behavioral issues.

2) You excuse their behavior
Anytime they do something bad, you give lame excuses.
"Oh, he's just full of energy hahaha".
Nope. You just don't want to deal with the behavior.
You're soft.

The solution:
Sherwood Kids is bringing back wholesome entertainment, 100% free from ads and propaganda.
Their titles showcase classic values and highlight characters we actually want our children to imitate.
Sherwood promotes active minds and imaginations, not passive viewers
4) You cave every time they whine
You have to build your resilience.
To be able to tolerate when a child is crying or complaining.
Get used to it and don't give in!
Everyone has a surprised look on their face when I tell them I workout 3-4 times a week, with a family and a 9-5 job.
Guys, it’s not complicated. I do basically 6 exercises throughout the week:
- Overhead press
- squat
- bench press
- rows
- deadlift
- pull-ups
That’s it.
Our priorities as parents:
Our children’s health
Our children’s happiness
Guide them. Lead them.
Help them be strong, resilient and motivated.
Teach them kindness, generosity and honesty.
How you get this done is entirely up to you.
7) Too many sweets at birthdays
Kids these days have cupcakes, lollipops and cake at birthdays...
Are you TRYING to get them addicted to sugar??
It's a birthday? Ok, here's a piece of cake. That's it.
Our kids will turn out the way we show them to.
If you're a bully, your kid will be a bully.
If you lack respect, so will they.

8) Having too many kids over at birthdays
(Can you tell I love birthday parties? 😆)
Why are you inviting the whole class??
Your kid probably only has 4-5 good friends MAX
Make it a small affair, your kid will still have a blast.
Plus you won't go too crazy.
3) Be careful
How many times do we say this one! We're basically telling them they should be scared of what they're about to do!
Instead, let's try saying "Ok, go ahead, but focus!"
2) Empathy
If a kid is alone at the playground, teach your kid to ask him if he wants to play.
If that's your kid all alone, wouldn't you want that?
Teach your kids to care.
How to be a present father (5 moments of the day you DO NOT want to miss):

4) Be there for dinner
5) Be there for bedtime
Each one of these is so special in their own way. They
1) You cave when they cry
You're often avoiding undesired reactions from your kids.
When they cry, you let them have what they want.
They throw a tantrum, you cave.
You're soft.
1) Respect
You need to teach your kids to respect others.
It's not debatable.
Teach them to treat others the way they themselves would want to be treated.
1) Overstimulating TV shows
Think Paw Patrol or Cocomelon.
Bright colors and too many action scenes.
No downtime in the show.
These mess up your kids' attention spans.
This life is so strange.
Go to school. Graduate. Get a job. Get married. Have kids. Retire. Die.
“Life is short”, they say.
Yet they continue to follow society’s predetermined life steps.
“Spend time with your family”.
Yet we send our kids to daycare and school while we
4) Sexualized content
Don't get me started on the LGBTQ agenda...
Avoid anything that hints at it.
Avoid music with sexual innuendo.
You may think it's funny, but it's not for kids.
Punishing your kids is not the best way to raise them.
Spanking, timeouts and yelling at them are all outdated methods.
If you're unable to evolve, your kids will suffer!
