From the lens Become an involved and active father..

    Great lens. Lots of great tips but a few things: I think that it's good for kids to do things that they don't like sometimes because its part of real life... in moderation of course. Also, I think that you should add another option to marital status. I am not married but have 2 kids and a woman that I have been with for 9 years, we will be married within the next few years... I would have liked to be part of your poll but I am not married, single or divorced. Really good lens, you should definitely keep expanding this one.

    I appreciate your insight. I added a non married couple option to the poll. I can't believe I overlooked that originally. Thank you for you comments and suggestions, they mean a lot to me.

    You're a very lucky husband and father, as are your family. Children grow up far too quickly! Enjoy every day, even the bad ones.

    Loved reading your story. Well done.

    This is very true, a big problem with kids these days is a lack of parental involvement in their life which hurts their self-esteem and need to be loved. I have kids myself and I also read to them everyday, encouraged their imagination, and helped them with their homework.

    Nice read about importance of dads being in the lives of their children. Doing a great job and that influence will help them later on in life.
  • crstnblue Nov 13, 2011 @ 3:04 am | delete
    Great lens and sensitive topic.
    Everything counts in life - after a while... you'll be the winner out of your diligence and care.
    Thumbs up for you for thinking, feeling and sharing this way! :)

    #1 on my list of things for my life is to be the best Dad I can be, followed closely by best husband. :) Like you said - the return on time you spend with your kids is infinite, especially when they're young. I'm willing to pay or give up a lot of $ for that time. Can't wait to see what its like to have #2 in 5 weeks or so.

    I think you kids are very lucky to have such an affectionate & caring father... great job! I know they will love you more than ever as time goes on.

    My Dad was a really involved Dad, spending most of his free time playing educational games with us, driving us to our activities and lessons, being the lifeguard while we swam in our family pool etc. It's great when a Dad spends time with his children.

    What a blessing you are to your boys, and all who see you interact with your little guys. They'll grow up and be just as loving. And neat how you and your Dad are close now; your boys were teachers for you in that way. Wonderful to read about, many thanks -:)

    You share so many terrific ways dads can engage with their children. Blessed by a SquidAngel ~

    how I wish more children had fathers who want to be involved with their children. Wonderful to see your determination to be a good father!
  • JDWheeler Dec 21, 2010 @ 10:28 am | delete
    Becoming a father changes your life forever. You will never be the same. It's not about you anymore. My favorite fatherhood quote is "A father carries pictures where his money used to be..."

    My boy friend should see this. It's helpful for us in the future.
  • ClinicallySignificantProductions Nov 21, 2010 @ 6:58 pm | delete
    What a great lens! As a single father I know what a challenge being an involved father can be. I need to work on the whole patience thing myself. Thanks for a fantastic lens!

    The joys of parenthood. Found your quit smoking cold turkey lens and figured I would check a few more of yours out. I love the personal touch you put in the lenses. Not all copy and paste jobs like some lensmasters.

    Nice squidoo lens. I can relate to raising kids. When they grow up then you can spoil the grand kids

    Fathers rule. Its a hard job to be a good one and just when I think I have it figured out I don't.

    Have 2 kids of my own. Its hard getting time with work and all to spend good time with the kids but its worth it.

    Im sure you're a good poppa. Mine are grown up now but when young are the best times. You'll miss that in 20 years. Like your help on Blujay and about how to promote and stuff.
