1.See your kids as capable

The achilles heel of many fathers is to see their kids as “not good enough.” Your kids will feel this, and they’ll live up to these expectations. The more you approve of them, greater they’ll be!

2.Make time for your kids

There will always be more work, but you won’t always have chance to be with your kids. Are there ways to include them in chores around house? Your kids will know if they matter to you by effort you make to include them in your day.

3.Use positive forms of discipline

Punishment is not very effective. It tends to create more of very behavior that fathers are seeking to eliminate. Use natural and logical consequences instead—if you don’t pick up your toys, they get put in a bag and taken away for awhile. Give them choices. Positive discipline methods help kids learn responsibility, punishment helps them learn to dislike you.

4.Have a great relationship with you wife

You are main role model for your kids, and this is main source of information for them about how to have a close relationship. They’re watching very closely to learn how to do it.

5.Be aware of your kids lives

You ever notice how on programs like "The Bachelor" most of their dating episodes are via limousine escort?

They travel to lavish destinations amid scenic splendor. The sunsets are so beautiful you can almost hear nature singing its own rendition of, "Love Is A Many Splendid Thing".

You rarely ever even see a rainy day.

In "Sleepless In Seattle", audience was left "Speechless in New York" atop Empire State Building. The climactic romantic interlude that followed is one that will be etched in memory of movie-lovers for a long time to come.

In "Sabrina", audience feels eloquent charm and ambience of Paris.

"You've Got Mail" spammed us with scenic elegance and grandeur of all that's good in and around "The Big Apple".

If you really want to be depressed, sit and watch some of work out programs that abound. Watch as brisk morning breezes enrapture velvety clouds tracing horizon from backdrops of scenic vistas and ocean views. Who couldn't be motivated to work out?

We easily become captivated by "Lifestyles of The Rich and Famous", "Cribs", and latest craze of "Extreme Make Over-Home Edition", dreaming if only...

Watch a few of music videos that abound at VH1, MTV and BET. You will see more money, lavish diamonds, fancy fashions, flashy gold jewelry, expensive limousines and other fine automobiles watching these music video programs for one hour than most people will see in average lifetime.

All commercials seem to have same goal in mind to make us feel that their product is missing link to our imminent happiness.

We live in a Black Tie Affair World!

No wonder so many people struggle with comparisons.
