5 Lessons Every Father Must Teach To His Son

Dads, are you living like your kids are always watching? Whether talking on the phone, interacting with the cashier or waiter, or just relating to your family at home – your child is always watching. Your sons will especially pick up on how you treat women. Here are 5 things you can teach your sons about how to treat girls.

* Treat everyone with dignity and respect

Follow the Golden Rule and treat others the same way you would like to be treated. This includes the way you speak to each other and how you act because actions speak louder than words.

* Recognize everyone is unique

Each person is uniquely made with wonderful gifts and talents that make them special. Teach your son to recognize and honor these qualities in others.

* Communication is KEY

Listen, you don’t always need to try and solve a problem. So listen twice as much as you speak because everyone wants to be heard. Try these three ways to achieve eff­ective communication.

* Be a Gentle-man

Be characterized by putting the needs of others before your own. Look for ways to be helpful. Be motivated by compassion. Be selfless rather than selfish. Seek to make each situation better for everyone.

* No means no

Always respect the boundaries of others.Understand their boundaries. Be an ally in upholding their boundaries. Establish your own boundaries.
