Parenting here are ten tips that will help dad be a role model for the family.

Children need structure. Structure includes consistency, reliability, and meeting expectations. Children need to know what time dinner will be, what time bedtime will be, what the rules are for homework, and the rules are playing outside. Dads can be flexible occasionally, but children need parents to set the structure and stick to it.

The way a father treats women, even their daughter, teaches the latter what they can expect from men in their lives, and it teaches sons how to treat women. Treating women with respect, even if their behaviour is disagreeable, is a way of treating the children with respect.

Fathers must be role models when it comes to making healthy choices. If they get to a good place with all that they do, they can get to a good place with the children and set expectations for them. Dads have to walk the walk before they talk the talk.

Role model for children than life is not all black and white, there is a lot of grey in it and room for improvement. No man is perfect; no father is perfect. If dads try too hard to be perfect they end up teaching the children that it is not okay to struggle and sometimes fail. They also need to role model that relationships between adults are not always smooth but often can be worked out.

If dads are spiritual, they need to share that. Spirituality is not related to any one religion. It is related to a belief that something unique lives within us that can spark others and live on for generations. It is a belief that there is something bigger than us that can be harnessed for healing. By being spiritual, they are helping to raise the next generation.
Being a good parent does not always mean trying to toughen up the children or being a strict disciplinarian. It does not always mean putting on a tough face inside the house when a tough face is needed outside the house. Fathers can teach children to be a warm and loving to others.

Err on the side of love in raising children. If a father is ever unsure about which path to take with the children, they can choose the side that involves love and generosity. Assume the best and not the worst, about outselves and others.

Find good friends. People with friends live longer, healthier, happier lives. Find good men who are taking care of themselves and keeping their commitments. Being a friend means being understanding, loyal, dependable, and trustworthy these are also good attributes for fathers.
Even as fathers teach children the value of working on long-term goals such as education, career advancement, and relationships, make sure to focus on one day at a time. Few things come to people without working for them, but fathers also need to make each day meaningful when they are with the children.

No matter where a dad is and what his situation is, the children need to hear from him and know that he cares. If a dad feels ashamed of his situation or ashamed of something he has said or done, avoiding the children will not make it better. Being a man and a parent means being able to deal with what comes your way.
