FRESH PERSPECTIVE
Anthony Markland
I write about Fatherhood, healing and building relationships, and the everyday wonder & struggle of living your best life.
The way to your kids' heart is to listen.
You don’t always have to behave like you’re smarter than them. If they thought you were dumb, they wouldn’t be bothered with you.
Remember… Genius…
Kids invent labels and the ones they don’t, they perfect. They don’t care if you are, just don’t remind them they aren’t. Give them belief-in themselves. And that starts with listening.
Sometimes lectures seem like violence. It makes you seem like you lack intelligence and abuse your child for therapy.
Learn to sit in peace. Rest in the feeling that your child wants to be near you.
To all the fathers wondering "HOW THE FUCK DO I DO THIS?"
My advice is "JUST DON'T PULL OUT!"
