Traits That Make a Good Dad

A good father can make a great impact on a child's life. Unfortunately, most dads don't strive to be one. They think that providing for all the needs of their little ones is more than enough. If you aim at being a good dad for your children's sake, here are the top traits which you must strive to achieve.

A good dad accepts that his children are not the same - Most dads compare their children in order to motivate them to behave well or perform better.  A good and wise dad understands that children are born different from each other. With that, he helps each of them to become better in accordance to their strengths.

A good father is a disciplinarian - A good dad disciplines his children to become well-behaved and productive people. He strongly disapproves misdeeds and takes the effort and time to raise his children the proper way.

A good father is open-minded - A good dad understands that things and standards change through time. He understands that the way he was raised may no longer be applicable today. Thus, he talks to his children and looks for the best way to raise them.

A good father spends quality time with his children -  A good dad knows that his presence is important to his children more than anything else. He manages his responsibilities at work and at home well so that he can spend at least a couple of hours each day with his children.
