Rules for fathers of sons

It is from you that he will learn how to be a husband. Be compassionate when necessary, love with all your heart and respect her. He is watching you every moment, be the kind of husband you want him to be.

2. Teach him to fight

Teach him how to be brave, how to stand up for himself. Wrestle with him, let him show you how strong he is and show him how strong you are. Most importantly teach him when to stand up for himself and when to walk away.

3. Tell him you love him

Tell him all the time that you love him even when you're angry...especially when you're angry.

Because all boys need to learn.

Let him pretend to be you, because there's no one else that his mom wants him to be like.

It's okay to teach them to be strong and manly, but they also need to know its okay to cry.
