YOU are the biggest influence in your son’s life—you are almost indispensable.
•
Fathers have been endowed with a huge generational power/influence to impact their
children’s lives for good or evil (sometimes for hundreds of years) just by the
things they do and don’t do or say or don’t say today.
•
Boys learn how to be a man, a husband, and a father by observing male role
models (good or bad ones). Be their role
model.
•
Boys learn self-respect and respect of others by being respected by their
fathers and the respect they see him give others.
•
Character traits like nobility and honor are passed directly from father to
son.
•
Men and boys long to live lives of significance—they hunger for adventure.
•
Your sons (and daughters) may be the only people in the world who want to love and respect you without
your having to earn it first.
•
You need to resolve any issues between you and your father, before you can grow
to become the kind of father you want to be and that your children deserve. If not, it’s very difficult to break negative
generational cycles from being passed along to your son.
•
The greatest gift a man can give his children is to love their mother.
•
Teach your son (or daughter) self-discipline by holding him accountable for his
actions and decisions.
