So today's topic we are going to talk about what I learned from my children in the past 3 years of being a father. Like every other person, it feels good to be a Dad or Mom for the first time, although there are challenges but even at that it always gives joy.
So within this 4 Years of being a first time Dad, I have discovered somethings from my children and I am very happy that these things are great things and at the same time give me joy to see them, also it has become part of my life too.
You know children at this age bracket don't talk something very much understanding within these years sometimes it's from 4 year upward that you will start understanding a child very well, I am not trying to tell you that the child taught me these things verbally but it was done through body language and it was well understood.
1. I discovered that in life actually, you doesn't need physical power or muscle in order to successfully be in charge or exercise authority over those under your care or subordinate to you. My baby made me to understand this clear because whenever I speak to her like I am the father and you have to follow my instructions, it doesn't sink well with her, but talk to her with smile and calmed voice, she will smile back at you become obedient immediately.
2. It's always important to be patient just because you can't do everything at the same time no matter how smart you are, even machines do things one after the other. There was a day I sent my son to get me cold water from the fridge, yes he went to get it but he can't be fast like me if I am the one going for it, I rushed to get it by myself and eventually hit my leg on a door post. If exercised patient for my son to get it for me, I wouldn't have hit my leg on the door post. So it's cool to be patient at all times.
3. Always control your temper especially when dealing with a child because if you angrily discipline that child you will not really correct him or her well simply because your voice will be echoing and could lead to fear instead of the child respecting you.
4. Don't put fear in your children thinking you are training that child, instead make them to respect you and the best way to achieve this is by being friendly with them even if there are offenses.
5. Love your spouse well, your children should see that you are happy with your partner their father or mother.
Be the parent your children will always be proud of being their children both at home and in public.
