Fakers. Worst part is they know enough to hide it. They know how to fake showing the right thing. It's not ignorance. It's a choice. #faker #choosewisely #father #sunday #100dad https://www.instagram.com/p/CoAR4OeONx0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

✔Integrity. Don't lie. Don't ask them to lie for you. You lose credibility. You show you lack integrity. ✔Truth. Don't manipulate your kids. They are not puppets. Encourage, guide, and sometimes force them. If you have older kids with brain cells, they will figure out you're manipulating them. It wrecks the relationship and means you didn't teach them how to live on their own. ✔Respect. Honor your commitments. Simple. Do what you say you are going to do. No need to find loopholes and excuses. You earn a lot of respect this way. ✔Showing kindness and compassion and some humility. Key components to a content life. You do not regret that you were too kind. You do regret when you were a dick when you didn't need to be. ✔Don't hide it when you take an L. Dads not perfect. I lose. I take hits. People abuse my good intentions. I get back up and live the next day. This demonstrates reliance, humility, and that never give up attitude. Kids need to know it's not always easy. ✔Wisdom is the one that requires work and is less easy. Keep learning. Keep pushing for knowledge. Admit when you don't know and get back to them after you give it some thought. #100dad #gooddadgang #gooddad #greatdad #superdad #amazingdad #bestdad #Louisiana (at Henderson, Louisiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbJdPxMOMJE/?utm_medium=tumblr

Kids in this age group crave attention. They respond to attention. We are quick to point out what they do wrong, spend time explaining what they did wrong, giving consequences for what they did wrong, and giving them our attention when they are wrong. If we can take those same skills and apply it to positive behaviors we can incentiveize being good. Address it when it's happening, tell them exactly what they are going good, give them praise and rewards, and they get out attention via a positive action. Consistency and repetition are key. Giving less attention to the negative things really helps. #100dad #positivity #discipline #parentinghacks #kids #dadwin #tuesday #blue (at Saint Augustine, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca2o6qmO9hd/?utm_medium=tumblr

This perspective really helps shape how you make dad decisions. Because it comes down to how well you are modeling fatherhood. Are you a dad that your kids want to emulate? Did you raise competent adults that can function well as parents and raise grandkids you can be proud of. How will you be remembered as a grandfather? Great grandfather? Are you going to be the legend? The dad who always had great wisdom? The dad they never want to be like? Multi generational thinking can really help paint a picture for the kind of dad you aim to be. #daddysboy #100dad #dadwisdom #dadlifeisthebestlife #nextgeneration (at Gambrills, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXueAKUrdh1/?utm_medium=tumblr

The relationship you had with your father impacts who you are, your instincts, and ways of thinking. The good news is this in 2 directions. ✅You know what you want to do and 🚫You know what you don’t want to do. Your relationship with your father is something that should be discussed with your spouse and vice versa. It really opens a window into why you function the way you do and gives your spouse a better and deeper appreciation for who you are as a man and a father. And of course vice versa. ❓How was life growing up? ❓What was normal to you? ❓What caused happiness? Fear? Worry? ❓How was love displayed? ❓What were punishments like? ❓What behaviors and actions do you find yourself doing that are carbon copy, your dad? ❓Which of those things are you happy with? ❓Which of those things do you wish you would stop doing? It's even worth talking about some of those things with your kids. Life and wisdom is all about perspectives. You had a different perspective and experience growing up. Tell your kids about it. Let them ask questions. Family history is an interesting dynamic…its something a lot of us have a deep natural curiosity for…and we find satisfaction in knowing the history. #100dad #dad #dads #father #fathers #fatherhood #Iowa #monday #relationships #parenting #deepquotes #realtalk #life #motivationmonday #betterlife #blackandwhite #perspective (at West Des Moines, Iowa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUVvmSKrtBu/?utm_medium=tumblr
