Being present and attentive to your children's needs is paramount from "summary" of The Expectant Father and the New Father by Armin A. Brott,Jennifer Ash
As a father, one of the most important things you can do for your children is to be there for them, both physically and emotionally. Being present and attentive to their needs is not just a nice gesture, it is essential for their well-being and development. Children thrive on attention and love, and when they feel that you are there for them, they will be more likely to feel secure and confident in themselves. Being present means more than just being in the same room as your children. It means actively engaging with them, listening to what they have to say, and responding to their needs in a thoughtful and caring way. It means putting down your phone, turning off the TV, and giving them your full attention. When you are truly present for your children, they will feel valued and important, and they will be more likely to open up to you and share their thoughts and feelings. Being attentive to your children's needs means being aware of what they are going through and responding to their needs in a timely and appropriate manner. It means noticing when they are upset or struggling and finding ways to support and comfort them. It means being attuned to their emotions and being there to provide guidance and reassurance when they need it most. By being present and attentive to your children's needs, you are showing them that you care about them and that you are there to support them no matter what. Your presence and attention are powerful tools that can help your children feel loved, secure, and confident in themselves. So make it a priority to be there for your children, to listen to them, and to respond to their needs with love and compassion. Your children will thank you for it, and you will be creating a strong and lasting bond with them that will carry through into the future.
