We all make mistakes and saying sorry is not easy, especially to our children.
However, it is important as it helps gain their respect and strengthen our relationships with them.
Here are steps to frame a meaningful apology to your children.

Apologies can be overused which make them less meaningful.
Give your children the knowledge to decide when an apology is appropriate and when it's not required.

Apologising is hard and more so if we apologise to our children as it may come across as a sign of weakness.
However, experts have said otherwise.

Parenting, as a father - and particularly a new one - can be a confusing, stressful, and even isolating time for many new dads.
So how does a father handle loneliness?
Here are suggestions to consider:
⭐ 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: Parenting children, especially newborns, can be all-consuming. If parenting can be a bit more cooperative, it is less likely that either partner will feel isolated and very likely that the marital bond will feel stronger as well. When both partners understand that they each bring strengths and weaknesses to their roles as parents, they can more easily support each other and function as a collaborative team.

It takes a village.
Even the best fathers cannot do it by themselves. As the adage goes, it does take a village to raise a child.
As boys grow up, they need other men in their lives, besides their own fathers, as male role models. What a father is able to demonstrate to the boy is only one version of what it means to be a man. As hard as he might try to be all things to his son, a father has limited knowledge, skills and experience.
Manhood is nuanced and a boy should be exposed to as many sides of it as possible to find the perfect balance for himself. The familiar and trusted voices of a group of men will add value to the boy's life in ways that a father alone can't.
So you see, it only takes a village to raise a child, it also takes a village to support a father. Message us to find out more how to start or join a DADs for Life father group!
