I just became dad last month. So from more experienced fathers: What are best ways to express love to your family?

    Find out what each person wants that makes them feel most appreciated:

    • praise them (for kids praise things they can control like effort rather than attributes like being smart)
    • spend time where they are the focus of your attention
    • give hugs, cuddles, high fives, tickles, etc.
    • do things for them
    • give them gifts

      I have a fire cracker of a 6 yo. He wicked smart; mega sassy, bored easily real tough to parent because of it. We butt heads a lot. His thing? He L O V E S quality time. Just me and him. Take him to do something special and he’s a really sweet kid.
