Involved Dads

Filed in archive Parenting on March 27, 2006

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.
