#He gets on well with kids

I know of women who can’t even handle the very tiny newborns as they are afraid they’ll drop them as newborns are so tiny and fragile-looking…so for a man who will visit friends or family who have just had a new baby at the hospital and hold the baby in their arms is a sign that he’s good with children. Also if he gets along well with children and the kids love him right back…great dad alert!

#On a good day he can let the kids from upstairs be kids!

Kids have extra energy hence they can play for days when allowed to. You need patience and tolerance on another level to live with them. So if once in a while he can let the neighbors’ kids just be kids and play around tapping the floor without him going to complain to their mother about the noise and disturbance, then he can totally handle children .

#Once in a while he’s a goof ball :

Kids have so much energy and yet they get bored easily, so when handling them you need to pack on some tricks up your sleeves and be ready to be a little silly. If he is always ready to goof around and be the cookie monster or the tickle monster or batman, or super man or humpty dumpty and have a good laugh doing it…then for sure he’ll make a great dad.

If there are three words you wouldn’t want to hear your child say, it would be…“My dad sucks!” So if you are that guy who dreads visiting his sister because her kids “are just too much” then be very worried for yourself.

So now that you know some of what it takes to be a good dad, does your man qualify or are you now worried?

PS: It’s Father’s Day this Sunday…do appreciate your dad a little 😉
