Writing letters to your children offers fathers a way towards a new, honest conversation.
This Father’s Day, start a new tradition, by taking the time to write letters to your children. It will open up a new conversation.“Don’t take for granted the love this life gives you; When you get where you’re going, don’t forget to turn back around; Help the next one in line, always stay humble and kind.”In an attempt to admit my own misgivings about my parenting skills, I once told my older son, “I’ve never been a father before,” to which he replied, “I’ve never been a son before.
I encourage dads to give themselves credit and admit we are OK, not perfect, and make mistakes. I’m a former teacher, and as one of my students put it, fathers, though imperfect, unsuspecting and forgiving, are heroes. Our voices are important. But who listens? Our words are essential. Who do we tell? Telling our sons and daughters and dads we love them, and are proud of them, can heal wounds. How do we make it happen? How can we provide a lasting impact?
