    I wish my dad was like this, but instead he was the opposite. But I will be the best father to my children than he ever was. Great speech!

    His approach to parenting is technically positive psychology in a snowball scheme. Indeed a life-changig, game-changing and world-changing concept. Just Imagine the compound impact regarding the grandchildren and so on...

    I love this! You express exactly what I chose to do, nearly 9 years ago. My son is definitely the person I wish I was. It definitely works. I'm happy to see I'm not the only person helping their young people in this way :)

    Daughters may have their father's heart. But, the sons have that special bond with their grandfathers.

    As a parent, we can give what we have and what we don't have, is something we need to work on to learn it with our children. Else others will teach them for sure 😜

    Wow thank you!! Challenge accepted!
    Some times common sense, especially when it comes to parenting is not common practice. And in the simplicity of a message you find a powerful seed that grows deep and Strong root and at the same time becomes the most Tall.
    1-have a visión, 2-be the example 3-focus on the person not the action 4-keep the line of communication open by projecting this message: I will listen I will take you seriously I will respond.

    • @martinshuudeni5247
      @martinshuudeni5247 Před 3 lety

      Great question, a great father is measured by the standards of who is the source of Fatherhood. The creator of heaven and earth

    Kids will do as they wish, so drink, be bad. A good dad would be one whose kids even talk to him.
