The rise of the modern day dad – summary

written by DaddiLife 28th October 2016
modern day dad, summary

Here’s to your success dad.

What ‘being a dad’ means has undergone amazing transformation in the last 2 decades, and though there’s been a lot of progress, there’s still much work to be done. For instance those dads who come out the wrong end of a relationship separation, or for gay dads to have the universal acceptance that stay at home dads are striving for too.

The modern dad era is just starting…

The good news is that the era of the modern dad is just getting started into a new phase, and with that, there will be more focus, attention and desire to energise this new parenting balance.

To all dads, new, to-be, or vastly experienced, we salute you. You’re on a journey that is now more multi-faceted than ever before, and in an ever changing world where our children are exposed to so much so quickly, a dad’s voice really is crucial in setting them up for the grown ups they’re going to be.

We’ll leave the final words for Jamie Day from @adayinthelifedad, who pretty much sums it all up…

“I recently stumbled across a quote from Oscar Wilde which nails my parenting beliefs right on the fontanelles; ‘The best way to make children good is to make them happy.’ And, I believe it’s true. Any modern day, hands-on dad can teach their child to sleep through or use a potty, but has a child ever been better behaved than when they’re happy? Perhaps not. Just for a moment, forget everything and go and climb a tree with them, plait their Barbie’s hair or shower some messy masterpiece with glitter. You’ll reap the rewards, but more importantly, so will they.”
