This message is dedicated to all the fellas who uphold the role of SUPERHERO to their children. We have the unique privilege to be larger than life and the men they look up to. This should never be taken for granted and we as fathers need to earn this title every day.
It's so important that we play with our kids and demonstrate to them how to live life to the fullest. Numerous studies have shown that rough and tumble play has significant impact on our children's development. This creates confidence and a sense of adventure in kids that Dads have the opportunity to foster in them. I can personally remember with great detail the roughhousing I did with my father and how beneficial it was in my life.
One of the many joys of being a parent is that you get to be childlike all over again. You get to share with them everything you learned growing up and have a front row seat to their growth. This compounds the joy you experience even more so than when you were their age. Gentlemen you as a father are vital to your children's lives and offer lessons only you can show them. I'll close with one of my favorite quotes:" My father didn't tell me how to live; He lived and let me watch him do it."
