How To Make Maximum Impact As A Busy Dad

Are you a busy dad?

Is your life anything like this:

Commuting to or from work, business travel,scheduled
and unscheduled meetings and attending to files even
as you close the door behind you in your master bedroom?

Most busy dads hardly have time for their children,they
work so hard that they tend to end up unwittingly denying
their children a valuable time which should have been
positively used together as a family.

Well, you don't need to worry for too long because here you
will be learning how to make maximum impact as a busy dad
in the life of your children.

It is possible to raise the kids you want in the time you have.
You needn't feel anyway guilty with yourself.

Simply follow these steps and see how much impact you
would be making in the life of your kids as a very busy dad:

* Be involved in your kids' schooling - Try attend
the child's"Back-to-School Night" and other activities once
in a while,or even every time since such things don't happen
every day.

* Give your child a few minutes to play together,no matter
how short,everyday before leaving home for work.Your kid will
definitely appreciate the few minutes.
* Build relationships with your child's teachers.Teachers appreciate it
and communicate more with parents they have met physically.
The consequence is that your child won't get away with anything
because he will surely be reported.
* Plan a trip with your child.There are always some work-free
days that would involve both you and your child.So, while not
plan a short trip together?You will be glad you did as your child
will forever thank you for it.
* Develop the habit of listening to your child anytime he talks to you.
I don't mean that you should just pretend that you are paying
attention while you are not.Deliberately pay serious attention and
let your child be convince that you are.

These are just a few of the things you can do to make maximum
impact as a busy dad in the life of your children.You need to be
fully engaged in the development of your children regardless of how
busy you think you are.

Take action right now and see how your parenting life will improve for
the better.


Happy Parenting...
