Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all fathers.

Isabel made a orange paper tie for me from her playgroup this year. The one on the right is from her children care center when she was almost 2 years old.

Now I proudly display the ties for all to see in my office.

She even got a song for me this year. It goes something like this:

This is a special day,

Now its time for me to say,

For all things you did for me,

Thank you Daddy, I love you!

Heart melting ya?

Few points for the fathers and would be fathers...

1) Attention

Always give your children your undivided attention. They need to know that you are there for them. Communicate with them, understand them...what is their interest, their likes and dislikes.

Attention = Love

2) Approval

Children need to know that they are doing right, they need to have your support in the things they do. Your approval means more than all the appraisals their friends can give him. They like to do things to please you.

A smile will go a long way for them.

3) Affection

Chinese don't show affections like the western do, many of us comes from family that never said a single time "I love you". But your children need love and affection to grow up healthy and sound in the mind. Start telling them you love them... it means a lot to them

4) Assurance

Children need assurance for your presence, your provisions. Knowing you'll be there no matter what happens is an important sense of security in their growing up years.

Well... its that simple... Happy Father's Day
