Daddy Superman

The precocious innocence of children allows fathers for a brief moment in time to be supermen.  We become faster, stronger, bigger and smarter than anyone else on the planet in the eyes of our children.  We have an opportunity to take part the overpowering glow of a child’s love. 

How we embrace that love will forever mark how our children will treat there children and relate to parents as an adult.  Our ability to form rational and appropriate relationships based on honesty and integrity with our children will allow us as parents to respond to our children from birth to adults.

Kids are just little people after all.  They absorb the world around them like a sponge.  They study our every nuance and gesture, rapidly forming opinions and mannerisms as they grow.  Our children are an assemblage of the opinions and mannerism of everyone they are in contact with.  Those that they spend the most time with have the greatest impact on there development.

In many ways our children empower us to be the best we can be.  They give us every opportunity to impress upon them the wonders of life.  Our failures as much as our successes as parents have a deep long lasting influence on the adult they eventually become. 

We have an opportunity to experience what we were unable to experience as children through our kids.  The laughter, tears, and scrapes all make up the fabric of childhood.  Woven within the tapestry are all the successes and failures, friends, family and all the love a kid receive from those most important to them; their mother and father.  As a father all we can do is live in the finite window in our children’s lives were we are their superman.
