How Dads Should Love Their Kids

Dad love is a different kind of love

The reality of men and women being different is seen in how they interact with their children

OUR VOICE

• As men, we must speak our love and affirmation to our children
• It must come from a place of sincerity
• Sincerity is us being ourselves, but showing them our love to them and believing in them
• Our words of love and affirmation hold incredible power over our children
• We may have to do extra work to learn how to do this, especially if it wasn't modeled to us

OUR ATTENTION

• Our attention as men is what you do to show love
• This is the most natural for many of us as men because we are doers
• Pursue them and be a student of them
• Serve them love ala carte
• Give it to them in the way they receive it
• Men are great at doing and we don't want to waste our energy
• We want to focus it so our kids know how much we love them

OUR CHALLENGE

• One of the main reasons kids need their dad with them in the home is to challenge them with love
• You challenge with Discipline and Coaching
• Discipline is love
• You are lovingly challenging them to be better
