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.Teacher 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
