Action Points

ACTION POINTS for Committed Dads

● Go out of your way to intentionally affirm your child in his pursuit of something he enjoys.

● Tell your children about a time in your youth when you received advice from a father or father figure that changed the course of your life.

● Be a regular “taxi driver” for your children and their friends. It’s a great way to be available and learn about what’s going on in their lives.

● No matter what your child’s age, involve him or her in daily tasks around the house that you can do together—cooking, cleaning, maintenance tasks, etc.

● Make it a habit to say those 3 words that can be life-changing for you and your child: “I love you.”.

● Read a chapter from Proverbs with your kids (or pick out one verse, if you have younger kids) and talk about how all of you can apply the truth.
