Never yield to unreasonable demands of your child. You DO NOT have to buy her everything she wants…you should not teach a kid to ask for the moon.
Never hit or verbally abuse your child. Never scream, shout, beat, and/or harass your baby because you have been shouted at by someone. Vent elsewhere. If you have none to vent at, then get online and chat with someone.
Never miss dinner with your kids. As long as you guys are at home, make sure you eat dinner with them. Dinner is a time when everyone mellows. Be there. Talk less, counsel lesser and judge none. Just listen to what they have to say. DO NOT JUDGE.
If your kid is doing something wrong, have a soul-to-soul chat. And you cannot have such a chat if you are not buddies with them! To become buddies you have to become less of a task-master. Chillax and calm down yourself first…
Just be there for your child. If problems hit, she or he should not have to run to others. You must be there for your kid for ever. Simple. If you knew your folks were with you come fire or rain, you know what I am talking about.

Nice list – I think the last one is most important. It’s easy to forget, but parenting changes as your kids grow but the basic fundamental should never change.
Hello,
I would like to introduce you to http://www.DictionaryforDads.com . Having experienced many dilemmas as a father of three I made a very clear assessment that there is very little quality literature available for dads today. Our roles as fathers at times become so complex and I personally could have used some direction. Our websites’ primary goal is to assist fathers in raising healthy and happy children and nurturing a great relationship with them. As per statistics 50 percent of marriages fail and we address issues as it pertains to Fathers Rights, Custody, and How to Discuss and Protect our Children Through The Divorce Process.
Dictionary for Dads arose amid concerns of every day fathers who sought to promote their knowledge, education ,experience and resources as it pertains to becoming an excellent father. As an organization our goal is to assist Dad’s in raising happy healthy children.
Our belief is that Dictionary for Dad’s will provide resources and information which will be fundamental in helping men make informed decisions based on education, research and practical experience all provided by Dictionary for Dad’s. In doing so this will not only reinforce the male role model in our society it will increase the social welfare of children throughout the world.
We understand that parenting is often complex and confusing with many variables including but not limited to nutrition, medical, psychological, developmental, environmental, marital, social and academic. It is our aim to provide every dad with education, information and resources for all dilemmas when they occur.
Dictionary for Dad’s believes that the label of a “dad” is one which is earned not one that is provided through birth. If you like the site feel free to add us as a link.
Sincerely,
