What Fathers have said about the course so
far:
Now I’m
able to
-
consider my children’s comments and actions differently
-
think more cleverly about my role as a father
-
talk openly to my four kids
-
improve the way I interact with my children
-
understand my children’s problems better and appreciate
their world as well as my own
Now I
know…
-
That my role as a father is very important
-
I can change and improve for the better
-
That children react emotionally up to a certain age… I must
try to remember that when conflict arises
-
Parenting each child is unique
-
I need to play more with my child
Now I
feel…
-
More confident as a father
-
I can do better
-
Hopeful, aware, confident, blessed, and there’s work to be
done
-
I will be able to talk to talk to my spouse and kids openly
and honestly for the first time ever
Now I
have decided…
-
Praise, thank, and talk more with all the family
-
To take a more active role as a father
-
To try and improve as a father and person
-
To share some of the things I have learned today with my
spouse. Working together should make things easier
-
To read further
-
To be aware of my children’s growth, development, and needs
What I
have liked most about the course…
-
It is very practical, with down to earth examples, some
from your own experience
-
The idea that I can be a GIANT and be the launch pad for my
daughter achieving her goals whatever they are.
-
Dealing with sexual interactions with children
-
The topic is real with regard to actual family
relationships
-
Good, quality speaker
