Mel Feller Suggests Things Loving Fathers Do for Their Children

Mel Feller writes from his heart as he thinks about his four kids and his former wife. It is important to maintain a good family unit and communication with both your kids and their mother. I know personally that I still have a lot of love and respect for the mother of my children. She went through a lot to bear me four great kids and four wonderful grandchildren.

Loving fathers… love their children’s mother

Love your wife without reservation you cannot do much more for your kids than that. If you are divorced, treat your children’s mother with respect, even if it is not reciprocated. Never return disgrace with disgrace.

Love them unconditionally

Make sure that your children know you love them no matter what. Do not confuse this with permissiveness. Unconditional love does nothing to encourage the wrong kind of behavior. In fact, kids who are secure in their father’s love tend to act out less, not more.

Grow up

I am talking about us here, not the kids. Children do not want another friend; they want a dad. They want someone who thinks things through, makes tough decisions, and engages life with responsibility. Someone they can count on.

Be there

“Quality time” is fine, but it has nothing on quantity time. Make the time. Everyone has the same 24 hours available. Make yours count.

Provide

As best, you can. Material provision can be tough when jobs are lost and tough times hit. However, you can always provide a stable home with love and affection.

Discipline

Children appreciate an even hand, balance, accountability, and love-drenched discipline. It is called consistency and, without clearly defined boundaries, it is very difficult to grow up.

Value education

Do not just read to them; read with them. Do not just fuss about grades; get involved with their homework. Do not just talk about learning; be a hands-on advocate. Be a presence at their school by joining or starting an All Pro Dad’s Day Breakfast.

Raise them to leave

The simple goal of being a family and parenting our children does not look any more complicated than this: Raise them up well equipped to leave home and to establish faithful lives.

Teach them to take responsibility

Kids who learn how to duck responsibility and avoid cost will eventually fall flat on their faces. Loving fathers make sure their children know how to own up, clean up, and move forward.

Teach them to love this life

The best predictor of happiness in children is happiness in their parents. If we learn how to love this life and then give that blessing to our kids, they will be well prepared for satisfaction.
