That means giving your partner some downtime and appreciated everything that she does to remember. You kids want to be with you. They want your attention, your ear, your opinions, your focus. They just want to be with that. She used three instilling young child with a love of reading is one of the best ways to ensure that they will have a lifetime of growth. These are the six and father's three tips of the day use them, right? Um, that message brought to you by fixing fathers incorporated the father, and father's going to be better. Um, okay, so today's show, right?

Speaker 3:

We are going to focus on the 24 seven dead curriculum. And I wanted to talk to you about, um, five of the traits of a 24 seven dad. Um, so we're going to start off with self-awareness the, the 24 seven dad is aware of himself as a man and aware of how important he is to his family. He knows his moods, feelings, emotions, capability, strengths, and challenges. He is responsible for his behavior and knows that his growth depends on how well he knows and accepts himself. 24 seven dad also knows, uh, that his ability to be with his children is affected by the, he has made. And he accepts the responsibility for his choices. Number two is, uh, caring for yourself. Now, the 24 seven, that takes care of himself. He gets his annual physicals. He eats the right foods. He works out and the, he works out and he stays in shape. And he learns about the world that he lives in. He has a strong connection to his family and the community, and he chooses friends who support his healthy choices. The 24 seven dad is a model for his children so that they will follow his lead and make the right choices. Number three, fathering skills. Now the 24 seven, Evan dead knows his role in the family. He knows that he is a role for his son, and he knows that he is a good man and a father for his, he, he emulates what they should look for in a father and a husband. He knows that if possible, he should be involved in the daily life of his children from, from, from getting them up in the morning, to dressing them and feeding them, uh, in the mornings to, uh, attending, uh, parent teacher conferences, supporting them in their sports and their, uh, interests in their activity. Um, from that to, to, to helping them with their homework and, and tucking them in at night. Number four, uh, parenting skills. Now the 24 seven dad nurtures his children. He knows how his parenting skills help to develop their physical, emotional elect, intellectual, social, spiritual, and creative needs. You know what I want to say that again, he knows how his parenting skills helps to develop their physical, emotional, intellectual, social, spiritual, and creative needs his children trust and feel safe with him because he cares about them. And he notices STEM through proven parenting skills, skills. Those that you learn at this curriculum that we have entitled 24 seven dead. Yeah, last but not least. Let's talk about relationship skills. Now, the 24 seven dad bills and maintains healthy relationships with his children and his family. He knows and values how relationships shape his children's lives. The 24 seven dad knows how these relationships are. The 24 seven dead knows how the relationship with his wife or the mother of his child affects his children. And he does his best to create a good relationship with her. For the sake of the children. Listen, the 24 seven dad always, he is always looking for ways to improve his communication skills. So there you have a gentlemen, these other five traits of the 24 seven dead this from the 24 seven dead a M curriculum, listen, guys, this is like 12 sessions, right? Um, you are going to really get so much from this. So I hope that you, if there's some gentlemen out there that are some fathers out there that are fathers to be out there that are interested in taking this program, I am so excited. Why? Because, uh, you know, we're doing it now. And it's just, uh, you know, the gentlemen that were doing it now with the, you know, the fathers that were doing it now, what, they're just getting so much from it. And I get joy out of that. I'll be honest with you. I don't think you, you, I don't think you guys really get it. I just get joy out of it. You know, you see these big burly men, right? You see these big barely men, right. And it's talking about love and it's not going to vote. Um, um, and it's all about nurturing and it's talking about just trying to become better dads and, um, for me, right. You know, I mean, some guys like to drink beer. Some guys like to hang out all night in the street or whatever it may be for me, it's this, this is what gets me. This is my thing. You know, this is what gets me and we all have our thing, you know, and this is what gets me. I just think that it's amazing that when you're talking to dads and you learn so much, it's like, I'm learning so much from them. They're learning so much from me. And this is not just me talking and teach and teaching and teaching and teaching. Um, you know, I learned so much from them too, about what they're going through and how they've resolved issues. Uh, so it's, it's just like a two-way street of just, you know, uh, just learning. And it's all about being a better dad, a stronger father, a stronger individual in the community. Um, it's all about that. Just being better, just bettering ourselves as men and how many courses are there out there that just focus on you on being a father and being a better man, uh, being better in the community, in assisting in the community and trying to better us. How many courses are there out there that focus on men? This is all about, this is all about an all for you. So I don't know you sense. My excitement. It's real. It's real. It's real. And, um, I just want you guys to all remember, you know, listen at the David Lee's show. Uh, we live to laugh. We live to learn and we live to love our children by any means necessary. Listen, I said it and I'm going to stick by it. And, um, I will catch you guys next time and thank you so much for joining me today. I'll talk to you soon. Bye bye.
