What is the role of father?

Show Acceptance

Accept children for who they are, not for what they do. Do not look for constant successes or push them into high achievement. Instead, support and encourage them as they search for the life that they desire. If their self-esteem is solid, they will push themselves to achieve and succeed.

Nice tip! I do sometimes err on the side of pushing my kids to achieve... so I appreciate this reminder - to just let them be kids and grow and learn... excel some... but grow and enjoy being young while they can, none-the-less.

Thanks!
