10 Ways To Be A Better Dad 

Respect to all single dads , I’m one ,

My oldest is 4 and a half. I was abusing weed and spent most of the days locked in my room. I decided to be a better father and currently have goals and plans to take my kids and myself to a on a journey full of success. Keep me in your prayers.

Just found out a couple hours ago I’m going to be a dad. Found this inspiring. Thanks

Im 18 and I found out the other day that I'm goin to be a dad and i want to be the best father I could possibly be

Best advice I was ever given as a dad was from a pastor friend of mine. He said to me "I told my children early on that I have Plenty of friends. But only two children. We can be friends, but I will always be your father. Dont forget that." In other words...I'm your dad...not your friend. In doing that his kids wound up with something better. An authority figure who was their best friend.

There are some who didn't grow up with Fathers and now we're here trying to learn how to be one. Good job to all of you who are in that position, and ALL Fathers who are in their kids lives

Wish I had seen this 12 years ago. My girl is turning 15 in a few days and I feel like I’ve failed in a lot of these areas. Thanks for posting.

Exactly brother, we want our kids to find their own genius.

I'm not a father yet, I'm single as of now. I'm watching this to give my child/ren a better life than previously mine. My dad wasn't desirable but I'm greatful that he did his best, so I'll become better. The best I give you all!

Thanks for this video. My previous step dad was a narcissistic abuser for 9 years, and I'm atm talking to a woman who has a daughter, so I'm watching this so I can be a good dad ❤

Being a dad is awesome....tough at times but awesome best thing I could ever experience.

That is one of the most beautiful/manly/ well groomed beard I have ever seen.

I’m 38 years old and I want to be a dad so bad, and until I saw this video today, I was worried that I won’t have what it takes to be a good father. I feel more confident now that I still have a chance to be a good parent.

I’m 20 years old and just found out I’m going to be a father. I want to be the best father I can possibly be. God give me wisdom! Give me patience! Help me be a great role model for my kid.

I don’t have a kid but thanks for the cheat codes to parenthood

21 years old here, have a 3 year old turning 4 the end of this month, what a rollercoaster! I was down for some time thinking im a bad dad if i dont teach her enough, but watching this, im really not, and you shouldnt either, theres just always room to be a better dad and thank you for this video💪🏼

Just graduated high school and gonna be a dad in about 7 months. Excited and scared, just hope I can be a good dad and give them a happy life. I know I’m no longer just me and I know I am now part of this kid. I love you Dexter or Anastasia. Can’t wait to hold your hand and hug you and go on vacations and bring you to school and be there when you fall down. I’m always gonna love you dex or Ana. More than you will ever know

Find it so fascinating this video was in my RU-vid feed minutes after a long conversation with my 9 year old son about life, adversity, and love. Fatherhood has been the most challenging event in my life yet also the most transformative. It has strengthened me in ways I couldn't have imagined before. To all the struggling dads, may God give you the strength you need to keep moving forward. If you're religious, pray for strength to find the way forward and not the way out.

I’m a professional in my 40s accomplished lots in the business/personal world but the one thing I’m most proud of is coaching my sons soccer team and winning the championship we had such a great time I also highly suggest doing it if you can’t be the head coach just go and help out I’m telling you the kids are so happy when they see dads taking part in what they enjoy doing

Love the energy... I get judged for these morals daily. My two boys are a riot, but are respectful outside of our home. Great video!

The wife and I spent all our time with our kids, our family circle is super tight, our kids ain’t going anywhere away from us, and it’s guaranteed they will take care of us and not throw us away into a lonely rest home. Time flys so start spending your time with them now! Be in their life and don’t let the USA system screw you into thinking you have to work and keep up with Jones. Live cheap and simple so you don’t end up enslaved and miserable. Rich folks EAT YOUR HEART OUT!

The one thing I’ve learned after being a father of a boy and a girl for 22 years… listen more than talk when it comes to your kids. If they want your help they will come looking for it. I have always tried to push wisdom and experience onto my children and as helpful as it may be, it also makes your kids not want to be around you so much. No one wants to be preached to all the time. I should have just listened more and spoke only when necessary. I know they love and appreciate me, but I think they see me as this constant mentor rather than a fun dad who they feel comfortable opening up to.

thanks bro for your video,im a father of one four yr old boy it seems like it never gets easier but I don't know where id be without him they grow tooooo fast peace everyone.

Been a father for the last 4 years... I'm still learning and im so glad I found this video, im subscribed and ready to learn even more. Self growth and rebuilding and this helps me so much.

I found out I was going to be a Dad in the middle of a tattoo appointment. I just remember a felling of both shock and happiness. My son is due in 2 months. I'm 22 years old and even though my son came as a suprise, I can't wait to be the best dad I can be for my boy.

Although I'm not a father yet, I intend to be one, one day. Still, I'm having a wonderful opportunity of working with young kids (ages 6 - 8) and that has been giving me a good insight of what being a father might be like. And for that reason I ran into pretty much the same tips pointed out on this great video.

Very good Sir. My wife showed me your video. May God Bless u keep the good work going

Great stuff mate.. Im a newly father of a 10 week yr old boy...big hello from Sydney Australia..

You nailed it BROTHER!! Great advice

Much respect to you and yours. My only hope is that more people can see things the way we do and cherish these values.

I love this. I am a proud dad of 3 amazing kids. Being a dad is easy to do badly and hard to do well. It takes lots of comprises but ones that are worth the reward. For all the dads and dads to be, I wish you love and patience.

Excellent list, I appreciate all 10, I’d like to add that to be a good dad we have to remember what it was like being a kid. Empathy helps us to practice patience, communication and further increases the effectiveness of those teaching moments.

This restores my hope. Thank you for this video. And thanks to those here seeking this advice.

*Why wouldn't anyone not want to become a good dad* ? Excellent points, I want to be the best dad i can be someday.💪🏾💪🏾

I got 2 kids and I’m still learning everyday thanks for the tips.

I subscribe to your channel awhile back and it showed I was unsubscribed. The devil doesn’t want us men to encourage each other to become great fathers. Manny blessing to all you dads out there.

I see a lot of fathers-to-be in the comments that have long been fathers. I wonder how they're doing? I myself have 2 girls and 2 boys; ages 9, 7, 5, and 6 months. I think it's important to reflect on your parenting and adjust as necessary. I'm glad I got most of these covered but there's always room for improvement! Fatherhood is truly the best.

Thx for sharing this video, me as a single dad with twins, this channel looks like pure light ❤️

Man I love you . I actually watched this video with mu kiddo , excellent conversation afterwards. Many thanks may i curse you with Superior Health and Triumphant Joy . Blessings to you and your loved family .

I honestly am astonished and dumbfounded as to how you have not had more views. Don't get me wrong, it is still a substantial amount of people that have watched this and potentially have changed or improved their life as a result. However, taking a step back and watching what the world deems as important (as an example, I typed in, "how to be a better father". Yet when I got to, "how to be a b" the very first suggestion was....."bad bitch". Seriously?!?!?! But I digress. Man, I don't know your name, but I thank you for putting up this video. My son is 6 years old, and for the past 2 years I have vigorously been searching within myself to be the best father I can be. It is nice to see other father's searching and figuring out ways to create a better world for their children. Especially with the direction this world that we are presenting to them is heading. If you happen to read this, I currently have only watched 2 of your videos. Yet I want to say, keep making more videos! This world needs more enlightened people such as yourself. I have been saying for the past year that I want to make videos. However, I lack the appearance, courage, and the ability to construct verbal thoughts well enough to do so. Keep at it bro, I hope all is going well for you and your family!

Thanks for the awesome advice bro, my daughter will be here in 4 weeks time and im nervous and anxious as hell...but this lifted my spirits ✊🙏

My son is going to be 2 soon. And I’m constantly trying to improve as a father. I was raised by only my mother. And unfortunately my son is going to be raised by his dad only.. But I’m determined to raise him to be a respectable, honorable man.

Thanks for the tips, Tormund!

Thank you for the great video. I'm not a Father yet, but, when the time does come, I want to be the best Father that I can be. Thank you for the great points.

downloaded this (thanks to youtube premium) and watching it whenever i need it. thank you for the encouragement

Great video! Thanks

Awesome video, thanks for taking the time to make it. I got two boys and this has been enlightening. You are great 👍🏻. God bless.

Man bro as a man....you said it and preached like no other...see the thing is many of us knew this but didnt know how to blueprint it so to speak ...thank you first of all for trying to give help and surely it helped many men....especially with kids who arent your own and who are yours ....you're right every kid is unique but it's the influences around that can alter things and as long as you're apart of it and are willing as a mentor a father you will learn and teach...that k you for your video you're a real man beyond what others pretend to be

Thanks for this video, I'm a dad and I needed this. Thank you.

Grrreeeeaaatttt dad!!! I learned a couple things humbly and I hope others do too.. it’s tough. Real tough being a single dad. Thanks man. Keep the vids going

Im a 42yr old 1st time dad. I was worried my disconnected, boomer era sports mancentric upbringing may adversely affect my boy. I feel relieved that my personal plan aligns with this to a T. Hes almost 2 and is already proud to push the swiffer behind me while i sweep. We dance or share an apple afterwards as a reward, he chooses. Simple magic tricks are his favorite engagement. Any older guys wondering "can i do this" the answer is yes. You bring wisdom and forethought to the longest, best game you will ever play. You got this.

Growing up without a father....I needed this. Thank you.

Absolute GOLD. Thank you 🙏

Thank you so much for putting this together!

Thank you for sharing sir!

Great video dude!! Your kids are fortunate to have such a committed and involved father!

I love this! Best RU-vid video I’ve ever seen

Well said! Becoming a father also makes you a better man in general! I used to teach kids at school when I was younger, now that I’m a father myself I know I would be much more patient and caring towards other children as well, I would definitely be a better teacher...

Everyone should watch this at least three times.

Awesome, Keep em coming bro

Amen. We all need to look for ways to be a better dad.

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!! I HAVE a 3 & 4 yr old boys!! I have to admit I was confused as hell until I accidentally stumble upon your video!! Thank you!!!!

I know on the internet opinions are cheap, but the best and brightest kids I have ever met are the children who were never baby talked! And explain answers to children so they keep asking questions. I will be honest with my daughter and tell her I don’t know an answer but that I will help her find it. She is so incredibly smart and I just want her to have a wonderful life! Hope this helps someone!!

As a dad of 3 beautiful baby girls, im happy to see this❤

I’m actually a single mama trying to be a better single father for my son. I know it doesn’t make much sense, but I have to try for him.

Darn right! Having a daughter soon and hope I can instill strong values for her!

Definitely some good advice appreciate it brother!

Father of a 3 year old daughter - I loved these tips and a few definitely rang true that I need to work on. Thank you for putting this video together.

Thanks my man 🙏 I appreciate the vid

Thank you brother. I needed that. 👊🙏❤

Thank you sir. Crazy wonderful times ahead

Hell of a message and video. Thank you sir!

I have two two boys aged 2 and 1. The hardest yet the best things ever.. thanks man

great video thank you for posting this

I’m glad to be a proud father.

Father of two, 8 year old with split household and a 1 year old. Hardest thing in the world is not being able to be there physically all the time with my 8 year old while her mom is not there mentally but has custody. Breaks my heart having to fight a parent who just wants my money and not what’s best for her.

Thank you 🙏🏼. great advice

Excellent video. This is what we need in our homes and our society. This video helps me see that we can do better, that we want the best for our children, and also help our marriage.

10. point is awesome lesson! Nice video!

Best version of ourselves - so perfectly said. Thanks man

hey man thanks for the upload. appreciate your effort. It's been helpful, currently strugling after not seeing my son for over a year due to family court. he is almost 10 and is lacking many skills and has a few social problems. Like you suggested i guess the first step is for me to be the best man i can be.

Great stuff amen brother

This is such an awesome video!!!! Give yourself a pat on the back because this is one of the best videos on youtube in my opinion

Thanks for helping me be a better dad brother I appreciate it. Subscribed.

Great video, brother. The things you have discussed . Especially, with coaching soccer games with my two girls this year. Exactly, correct. Dad first , friend second . The value with hard work and life is not easy. It’s hard, doing through struggles and for them to figure it out on themselves. God bless.

Epic video!!!!💪💪💪 7 months to go still

Great video Thanks for the insight

Thank you so much.. You probably won't read this or understand the impact your list will help me become a better father, but ultimately, help my children become self sufficient adults.. But I really appreciate your video and I aspire to be as great as a parent as you seem to be. Thank you so much and god bless.

Well put!

Awesome video. Thank you

Good message!

Give your children law (expectations, consequences) and gospel (grace and love when they fail). That is how God grows us up into full humanity.

I needed this. Thank you I have 3 kids 8yr Boy 3yr old girl and 1 month old, and everything you said is on pont👏

EXCELLENT! Thank you.

Thank you

Growing up it was just me and my mom for the most part never a dad. I’m going to be the best dad I never had.

This is hands down the best Dad video. I learned alot and understand what he's saying. 🤘🤘

Bless you sir, its heartwarming to see a good Dad

Excellent video! I am a new father and really appreciate this information. My son turns 9 months next week!

I am glad I am On the right track. It’s natural instincts.Good job Dads!
