Be a Man

A hard lesson all fathers should teach if they can, to their impressionable sons is how to be man. Make sure from the very start, it is Christian values that you impart. Instill in him all the tools he will need, so he will be sure to succeed. Teach him to fear the heavenly father above, yet know of his unquestionable love. Strongly discourage the act of telling a lie, thus the truth he should never deny. There is no shame in crying some tears, or admitting he has certain fears. Treat others as you would expect, with unconditional love and respect. No matter how mad he may get, a girl he should never hit. Be thankful for what he has got, versus what he has not. Encourage him to learn as much as he can, but most importantly how to be a man.
