A FIRST TIME FATHER

2. !
IT’S IMPORTANT TO MAINTAIN
The Perception of Control
As a new parent, you need to get control over
something, no matter how small it is. It could be
getting control of your health, your relationship,
or your work schedule etc.
3. Presence is everything. If you want to radically
change your behaviour, you must first radically
change your environment.
4. SECOND
Don’t raise
your kids how
your parents
raised you.
They were
raised in a
different time.
5. THIRD
Observe…
!
Sit back and watch, don’t be
quick to correct. Let them
discover life through their senses
not your own.
6. !
One of the most powerful gifts I
can give my daughter, is to
reinforce her positive response to
an unfavourable event.
7. !
“Between stimulus and response there is a
space. In that space is our power to choose
our response. In our response lies our
growth and our freedom.”
–VIKTOR FRANKL
8. FOURTH
Know your
role. Dating is
easy. Marriage
is hard. And
parenting just
adds a whole
new layer of
complexity.
9. FIFTH
Your calendar is a refection of your values
Where you allocate your time lies your
deepest desires.
10. SIXTH
As an adult you’re a
product of your
decisions. However, a
child is a product of
their environment
11. “No written word, no
spoken plea can teach
our youth what they
should be. Nor all the
books on all the shelves,
it’s what the teachers
are themselves.”
–ANONYMOUS
12. PROXIMITY IS POWER
I know that what I eat, what I tolerate,
what I accept and, the standards that I
set, will become the software that my
daughter will operate from.
13. Lead by example. At the end of
the day, you aren’t just raising your
children. You’re raising your
grandchildren as well.
14. Parenting isn’t easy. Your child
will test your character and
develop it at it’s outward
edge.
15. With that said… nothing will
bring you more depth than
being a parent.
