1) men do love attention
2) men are emotional beings
3) men do desire the affirmation of a physical touch.
If our sons are going to be better fathers, we the men, need to be aware of these truths; that our sons don't just need toys, they need our time; that physical touch with your son does not make you or him less a man; that a hug is not a feminine act bt a huMAN experience. That telling your son "I love you" is not a sissy thing to do but it takes a man to say I love you to his own son.
Take a walk with your son, take a drive or go out for breakfast, help him with his assignments for a change, just the two of you.
A simple touch will affirm him when his world is crashing and assures him, for that touch simply says"its ok". Don't you dare miss his sports day and other activities! Your first call is not to your work , business or ministry but to your family. Failure to do this,you are no different from an absentee father.
Our sons need our love and our time, make a choice to be a better father who is always there so our sons can be better fathers than us!
