I’ll agree on a couple of them.
Part of leadership is collaboration.
Being a good father means being able to relate and communicate with your kids. Sometimes (rarely in my case) it was with discipline such as a spanking, more likely a “time-out”, or restrictions on TV, etc. But all forms of communication.
Most effective was setting the ground rules, the consequences, and then immediate follow up. (communication)
“Okay, if you can’t calm down you can’t go to the zoo. One more outburst and that is it, and you have to stay at home.” Ended up taking the other two kids and left her at home. I don’t recall ever having to do that again - it made an impression.
Although the following week I took just her to the hardware store and stopped for ice cream to get some one-on-one time with her. She didn’t know I tied it in to the zoo trip thing - just doing normal things with a dad who loves her.
Yup. That’s how you do it.
If your word means nothing you’ll never succeed, raising kids, or anywhere else.
