Article: Fathers connecting with their children.
1: Quality vs Quantity. Studies show that HOW much time a father spends with his children is not as influential as HOW or WHAT they use that time for. 15 minutes of high interactive activity is better for a child than hours of being in the same room but not being "together".
2. Consistency. A Father's support and love should be unconditional. If it comes and goes, his child may emotionally vulnerable or unsafe at times.
3. Improved self control and sense of capability and confidence.
4. Promote self reliance but provide back up support.
5. Teach by example. Living what you believe, and expect for your children is the best lecture to give.
