A dad blog by a geek dad with two geeky kids.
Lately, I have been missing posting on this blog. This is not because I am running out of blog ideas, but because I find it challenging to manage my blogging time. I am a Dad, and that means that I have to devote my time doing some parenting duties and making a living to support my family. Add some more household work and you get the picture. ;) Right now, I am doing baby steps to manage my time for my family, household duties, work and blogging activities. It may sound so basic, but I'm currently writing a list of the things that I need to do on a daily basis. This will really help me make more time to blog and record the milestones that I have as a father and a blogger. While flicking through the channels one late night, my attention was caught by the statement 'Daddies are role models not only to their sons but to their daughters as well' spoken by a psychologist. It got me interested to know why. And so, I watched the rest of the interview with the psychologist. He explained that daughters learn how to feel about their bodies and abilities from what their fathers say about them and do while they are around. If you talk negatively about their appearance and their skills, they are more likely to end up insecure. What's more they could be marrying in the future a man who will just boss them around. The same level of impact can be seen among their sons. When son sees healthy behaviors being displayed by their fathers, they are more likely to perform and act in a positive way without having to punishing or rewarding them according to what their deeds deserved. Oh, well. I might really have to be mindful of the words coming out of my mouth this time and the actions I do as well. 'Got to make sure they all have positive impact on my kiddos. |
