  • For me it is being there for your child or children no matter what,not like mine he did a bloody runner.
  • Doing what is right for your child and not what is convenient for you.
  • Putting your childs' needs first, before yours and doing what's right for them.
  • In simple terms, accepting and handling the responsiblities in front of you, and putting your family, wife and child, at a higher priority than yourself. When the money is tight you make sure they eat before you eat. When there is only enough money to buy your kids clothes, you make sure they are dressed and warm and you go to the good will for your clothes if neccessary, you make sure you have a job and medical benefits for them, you carry some form of life insurance in case you are no longer around to make sure their needs are met. You always make sure everything is taken care of, that is a father. TOo many of these youngsters today allow all of this burden to be carried out by the mother, which is a total crock of s**t to me.
  • Truly loving your children and putting their welfare first and foremost. Doing what's best for them even when it hurts, or takes time from other things, or is difficult to execute.
  • Being a good father is the same as being a good mother. The material things don't matter - teach your children that. Love, support and teach them right from wrong. Nurture them, take care of them, keep them healthy, love them unconditionally, teach them about morals and respect and dignity, make sure they get a good education, make sure they know what's really important in life. Keep them away from drugs and alcohol. Make sure they have a healthy self-esteem about themselves. Boost their spirits and praise their good deeds. Punish when needed, but not to excess. Above all else, teach them to love themselves and others. Being a good parent comes from being a good person - parenting is the toughest but most rewarding job in the world - wait until they grow up and be successful, respectable adults with children like them. That's what a good parent looks forward to.
  • i guess a provider, protector and lover...
  • Love, patience, kindness, teacher, discipline, selflessness, respectfulness and good emotional and financial support are all the things needed to be a good father or mother. If you start with selflessness it will help lead you to the rest.
  • Taking time out for his child/children. Being a good influence so that they can grow up to be a decent adult. Talking to them when they need someone to turn to. Being strong willed in his teachings, but never a downer to his kids. Most of all, telling his children he loves them and then showing it through actions!

  • Be there, teach lessons and values that will help him make a life, be a life coach, take an interest in what he's going through and coach him. FUND HIM. And be a good example.
  • Being there for your child. Physically and emotionally. Being involved in everything that concerns your child. Every day of your life!!
  • I really don't know mine was never there and my stepfathers were molesters so I'd say as long as he's there and not having sex with the kids that'd be a good start
