being a good father

Being a great father means being there for your child. Supporting your child in everyway your child needs. No parent is perfect, but to be a great mom or dad, you learn from your mistakes and you are there for your child. You teach them about life and give them unconditional love, that is being a great parent.

Patients, respect, and understanding you have to know when to be their for your child in their time of need and to spend time with them doing things they enjoy and if your lucky like me your son will share similar intrest with you.

It takes wisdom, maturity, patience and above all love, to be a good father. A good father is the protector of his wife and chldren. He's the provider of his family. A teacher, mentor and guide to his sons. He is also the 'hero' of his wife and daughters; and the 'superman' of his sons; because to his sons there is nothing that their father don't know; and nothing he cannot do. So, in taking all things in consideration, a good father is everything his children would want in the man who treats their mother like a queen, his daughter/s like a princess/es, and his sons like best pals.

My friend, I have something to which,if you give a proper judgement will help you to know what it takes to be a good father.I AM A PROUD FATHER OF 2 WONDERFUL KIDS(A BOY &A GIRL). Few years back.I had to do with an old man who was sorely afflicted by a wastrel son.One day at the market he met a neighbour who asked how the boy was doing. "Very bad,"he replied:"worse than ever." "How do you put up with him?"said the neighbour."If he was my son ,i'd turn him out." "Yes,"said the old man,"and so would I,if he was yours;but,you see,he's not yours:he's mine." This is the heart of a father I experienced in life which made me realise what it takes to be a good,tolerant & great father.

A great father will always be there no matter what kinds of wrong choices the child may and will make. A great father will actually listen and take the time to find out what his child likes, who their friends are. and a great father will love his child unconditionally. and be patient with the child as they go through the learning process.....

Depends on the age of child... Father has to play a role of friend, care taker, teacher, role model in some areas, trustworthy, responsible and the list will go on. The most important is your attitude towards your child. If a child is less than 1 year u will some time feel irritated and would like to escape from ur fatherhood. There will be lot of tough times while parenting a child. But its the attitude that will decide your course of action and the good attitude will make you a great proud father.

Being a model is being a good father.Like father like son.So it becomes your duty to become a role model to your child if you are are a esponsible father.

Lots of love, dedication and the desire to be a good father..that is my opinion;)

It takes a lot to be a good father! I remember and recall when I was a kid! I used to have my father as my role model! I used to admire every action of his! I used to feel very bad if some one said anything against him! I think same things must be exoperienced by our kids ! First and fore most thing is that we need to understand that Father is a role model for their Children! So there are many responsibilities on the shoulder of a father! He must be well mannered and behaved infront of their children, he must be optimistic and bold in facing the day today problems. His language should be smooth and he should avoid using abusive language! He should love their Children and wife, together with all other people of the society including the numb animals and pets! He should take care of each and every need of the child, the needs may be mental or physical! He should always be cheerful, hinest, attentive to his work and truthful to ones children and to his wife! These things have direct impact on the children and practical way of the learning is a best of learning! Then the kids will automatically develop good habits and they tryu to copy the fathers qualities! If we are open and frank with our children then they will come up with their problems to us for the discussions and this will build their confidence in their father! Never scold, shout or beat them unnecessary! Be stern and strict when ever necessary but let them realise why you are so, so that they won't repeat the mistske in future! Encourage your children every time and don't expect that he/she should always excel in the class. Every child has its own IQ level and his/her areas of intertests are differtent! Here comes your role as a father to identify the intersts inwhich your child is really interested and guide him accordingly! Thus in nut shell present your self as a best role model to your kiuds so that they will feel proud being your children! All the best!

To be a great father, you have to be able to connect to your child through communicationa nd being there for them To understand and to listen whenever they need you. At the same time, you should know how to discipline and correct the wrong things that your child is doing. It is a very difficult role. You have to know the right amount of everything. You can't be too strict or too lenient. Being a parent is really hard. And you are holding a very delicate thing in your hand. Your child, his or her developmnet, and their future. You have to be able to provide your family's needs. Some fathers make a mistake about thinking that being able to finance their family's financial needs is enough. You have to be emotionally present and put your family on top of your priorities and make quality time with them.

my parents separated when i was in 4th year highschool.about 6 yrs ago.and my father were separated to us.my mother was the one who is taking good care of us,until now.I used to visit him and he always told me how worst he is to be my father..he always told me that he was so sorry for letting us live for so many years without him.and he's not deserving to be called our father.he doesnt know,that for me,he's one of kind and i am so thankful and blessed to have him as my dad.yeah,he's not with us for about 7 years,and my mom was the one who takes good care of us,and supports us in all the things that we need.but for me,he was still a great dad!he changes a lot for us.he works hard for us.and he always let us feel that he loves us so much.eventhough we are not together,i know that,he always includes us in his prayer,and that he loves us with all his heart..and that was enough proof to call him a great dad!
