When I got my 1st baby, there's an instinct that I should be on his side at all times, to PROTECT him in mosquitoes or other insects who want to bite him or people who want to touch him without spilling alcohol in their hands. This is how I protect him physically. So being a Good Father you must protect your kids. Protection means a person or thing that prevents someone or something from suffering harm or injury. By the way this is the way I felt when I was in love with his Mother. So therefore you as a Good Father, should PROTECT them at all times.

2. Father is an ADVISER

While my kids are growing I see that there are things that I need to learn. I need to know how to be a good ADVISER. Children always make mistakes while they are growing, correcting them in a bad way will reflect when they grow and have their own families. So it's so important that you need to have some guide and standard for your advice. So being a Good Father I chose the word of God. Because the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. And no one will be a Good Father unless they have the correct clone which is The Father Himself.

3. Father is a PROVIDER

Will in fact, being a Good Father is not just seeing your kids grow . You need to be a Good PROVIDER. When, we started to build our family. Me and my wife are working in BPO. But when we received our 3rd child in 2017. I told my wife to stop working and just focus on our kids, which she accepted. Even though it's so hard for both of us, of course I need to stand as a Good PROVIDER. I started to pray and look for a company that will provide the salary like my wife is also working and I thank Jesus we found one in 2018. Right now I'm still working with The Company while doing training with Filipino Virtual Assistance, and I learned a lot like optimizing my Facebook Page, turned my Instagram to a business account, tweeting more of relevant ideas about freelancing and discover new social media platforms like LinkedIn. I believe that we don’t stop learning so I’m adding additional skills to be a good provider and of course to be a Good Father that can provides all things my family needs in life; proper education, clothes, foods, shelter etc.

4. Father is an ADMIRABLE

Well not all the fathers are on the same page. There are some fathers that don't want to be fathers at all. Being an ADMIRABLE Father it starts when you keep in touch with your children. When you correct them, look at them in their eyes and explain what is right and wrong. When you pray at night you should be there to hold their hands and kiss them after praying and tell them that you loved them. When they watch funny clips on YouTube you laugh with them. When you are working from home make sure that you ask them what they need when you are on break. And that's how you as a father being an ADMIRABLE to them. I encourage you Fathers who are reading this to be a Good Father to your kids. They are not always kids. You will see after 20 years they are fully grown and they will remember how their Father treats them as their Good Children.
