My sense of humor comes straight from my dad. Sitting at the dinner table or driving in the car, I’ll make a quick quip, and my husband will call it a “Wally Joke”. I’ve learned that some of the jokes were passed to my dad from his dad. Now my sons are starting to make “Wally Jokes” as well. Generations of folks make laughing an important part of the day. Playful dads come in many shapes and sizes.
Some dads are dancers, some play basketball, others are writers, builders, or passionate video gamers. Be sure that whatever kind of dad you are, your kids are watching, listening and learning about life. They are shaping ideas about what is important and who they will grow up to be. In this busy, ever-changing world, it is sometimes hard to know how to be a good dad. Today I offer a great resource: Joe Kelly. He is a father – and writer, blogger and activist working hard to help build strong families with engaged, responsible fathers and stepfathers. Check him out at http://www.thedadman.com
Fathers are a powerful, yet largely untapped resource in our society. On this site, you will learn how men can be better fathers, and how everyone can activate fathers to help enrich and strengthen our families, communities, organizations, workplaces, and schools.
If you ever tried to watch a major league sports game with your daughter, and were embarrassed by all the racy commercials for beer, Joe Kelly has great advice. If you are a dad who is deployed, divorced, or for some other reason away from your child, he has 12 Tips for Live-Away Dads. His blog posts include great titles such as Real Dads Play Dolls. On so many dad questions, he is outstanding.
Happy Father’s Day!
