Fathering Rec's - Daddy to Son

[Dr T]

Play catch with him and show him how to throw a curve ball.

[Dr T]

I know it's not always easy but remember, "He will learn from you."

[Dr T]

Remember he watches how you treat your father.

[Dr T]

In your interactions with him, consider whether or not your treating him with kindness.

[Dr T]

Sit down and eat Oreos with him. See how and likes to eat them and tell him your favorite way to eat them.

Hey! There is only ONE way to eat them! It's the dunk and bite. Let's make sure we raise the children right.:D:D

[Dr T]

Hahahaaha! That's right! I dip the most of it (so my fingers don't get wet) then when it's not too soft or hard and then put it all in my mouth! SO GOOD! :)

In Australia we have yummy choccy biccy (aka chocolate biscuits) called Tim Tams and we have a 'naughty' way to eat them called a "Tim Tam Slam".

You bite both ends off the biscuit and use it as your straw to drink a glass of ice cold milk. The cold milk coming up the centre of the biccy makes the chocolate on the outside hard and the biscuit inside soft and soon it gets saturated. That's when you quickly SLAM it in your mouth before it falls apart. The chocolate crunch and the soft biscuit melting in your mouth with the milk is simply out of this world:D:D:D

Great way to introduce the missionaries to their new Aussie Ward/Branch.

Probably considered uncouth to teach your sons but who cares it tastes soooo GOOD with the ice cold milk!!!!!mmmmmm

[Dr T]

Those actually sound good. Send me some so I can taste them need4peace. Thanks

[Dr T]

Work out with him when he's ready.

[Dr T]

Every generation, us inclueded, all come from families that are dysfunctional in various degrees. We cannot allow those flaws to be excuses for our failings with our son's and not treating them as they ought to be treated. While it's true that we are not to blame for others' actions against us, we really need to assume responsibilityfor our own actions and weak spots.

[Dr T]

Show him forgiveness.

[Dr T]

Teach him to care to somebody else by buying him a pet and putting in charge of a it. (I might have already used that one-if so, sorry)

[Dr T]

Teach him to tie a tie. :)

[Dr T]

Take pictures together.

[Dr T]

Teach him family values early so he can carry them with him when he's an adolescent.

[Dr T]

Be there for his sporting events so when has asks, "Daddy, did you see me?", you can say "Yes, I did and you did great!"

[Dr T]

When he's young give him piggy back rides.

[Dr T]

Pray for his friends.

[Dr T]

Be aware of your sarcasm and change those to being positive with him.

[Dr T]

Remember, when he's little he's like a little bear or lion cub. He'll like to wrestle and rough house a lot. :)

[Dr T]

Do not pass out consequences in a willy-nilly fashion. Be consistent.

[Dr T]

Teach him to swim. If you don't know how, get him lessons.

[Dr T]

Build models with him
