MUFASA AND SIMBA

FATHERHOOD; STRONG – ALWAYS REMAIN POSITIVE, CONFIDENT AND RESPECTFUL IN FRONT OF YOUR KIDS. WHEN YOU MAKE DECISIONS AS A FATHER, STAND FIRM IN THEM. WHEN YOU SAY YES, IT MEANS YES. WHEN YOU SAY NO, IT MEANS NO. YOU ARE “THE DAD”. PRESENT – YOU ARE THERE FOR YOUR KIDS. YOU GET LOTS OF FACE TIME WITH THEM. BUT, REMEMBER THAT BEING PRESENT IS ABOUT MORE THAN JUST PHYSICALLY BEING AROUND YOUR KIDS… A FATHER MUST BE PRESENT MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY TOO. WHEN YOU’RE SPENDING TIME WITH YOUR KIDS, THEY GET YOUR FULL ATTENTION. REINFORCE THAT THEY’RE WORTHY OF ATTENTION. ENCOURAGING – A GOOD FATHER IS CONSTANTLY UPLIFTING HIS KIDS. HE WANTS THEM TO BE CONFIDENT. HE WANTS TO BE A CONSTANT SOURCE OF POSITIVITY. HE ISN’T CYNICAL OR NEGATIVE. ALWAYS LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO ENCOURAGE YOUR CHILDREN… AND NOT JUST GENERIC ENCOURAGEMENT LIKE “GREAT JOB!” OR “YOU DID AWESOME!” LOOK FOR SPECIFIC WAYS TO PRAISE YOUR CHILDREN. LOVING – PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD ONE HERE… A FATHER LOVES HIS KIDS AND HIS KIDS KNOW THAT HE LOVES THEM. THIS IS COMMUNICATED THROUGH BOTH WORDS AND ACTIONS. LEADER – FINALLY, A GOOD FATHER LEADS HIS FAMILY, AND HIS KIDS SEE HIM AS THE FAMILY’S LEADER
