Involved Dads
In this day and age, moms are not the only ones who are expected to care for their children. Dads are -- rightly so -- getting more and more involved.

A father matters. He can give a child a sense of who they are and vital strengths and skills for life.

So, if your husband not that involved, here are a few tips on how to bring out the super dad in your husband:

- Give him an assignment. Not only will it lighten your load but it will also give him a chance to interact directly with your child and you.

- Let him do it his way. You may have your system which works but, let him work out his own. It might work, too, you know.

- Let him distract the kids. Playtime with dad could give you that time you need to relax or do something else.

- Involve your husband in night time routines.
