How Dads Should Love Their Kids
Dad love is a different kind of love
The reality of men and women being different is seen in how they interact with their children
OUR VOICE
- As men, we must speak our love and affirmation to our children
- It must come from a place of sincerity
- Sincerity is us being ourselves, but showing them our love to them and believing in them
- Our words of love and affirmation hold incredible power over our children
- We may have to do extra work to learn how to do this, especially if it wasn't modeled to us
OUR ATTENTION
- Our attention as men is what you do to show love
- This is the most natural for many of us as men because we are doers
- Pursue them and be a student of them
- Serve them love ala carte
- Give it to them in the way they receive it
- Men are great at doing and we don't want to waste our energy
- We want to focus it so our kids know how much we love them
OUR CHALLENGE
- One of the main reasons kids need their dad with them in the home is to challenge them with love
- You challenge with Discipline and Coaching
- Discipline is love
- You are lovingly challenging them to be better
