I know most of us have had some sort of experience of seeing fathers or husbands mistreat their families and would never want your child to grow up becoming such a husband.
Well, I dont want that for my son, either; that is why I am putting this together to help parents, especially mothers, in the best way to raise their sons to become the man they will be very proud of.
Personally, I have seen a lot of fathers and wonder how they were brought up; it is becoming disturbing to see such fathers be very common these days.
For some, they leave all the responsibilities on the mother and disappear, never to be heard from again. Others beat up their kids at the least opportunity they get.
This, in the long run, ruins the lives of the children, with some growing up to become lawless, drug abusers, and so on, with some also growing up to become just exactly like how their fathers were.
This article's purpose is basically to guide you and teach your child to become the perfect husband when he grows up.
Here is what you should be doing;
1. Use good language;
How do you talk when you're with your son? Do you use vulgar words or shout at people?
Kids learn from what they see, and so if he sees you doing that, trust me, he will grow up using such manners and not feel ashamed about it.
You should be seen by him always being friendly when talking to people and exercising patience in every situation, even when angry.
2. Learn to forgive;
Well, this is one difficult habit that most of us find very difficult to develop as a lifestyle, but it is good we learn how to forgive and let go of all bitterness.
Teaching this to your son will go a long way in helping him become the father you'd want him to be because a forgiving father builds a strong home.
3. Be helpful;
Teaching your son how to always offer to help will go a long way in making him become a responsible man for himself and the woman he will end up marrying.
He should be able to learn some basic skills at home to help his future wife take care of the house (I'm not saying women's role is to take care of the home).
Teach him how to wash the dishes, clean the room, do the laundry, and so on.
4. Work hard;
Teach him to know the importance of hard work and not to see it as a punishment.
A hardworking man never lacks money, making it easy for him to cater for his wife and children.
Ask him to join you or his father when you have work at home.
The best way I go about this when working is not to make it look stressful to my son but rather look like fun which entices him to join.
Play his favorite songs and let him see you joyfully working whiles enjoying the song; I bet he will rush to join the fun.
5. Teach him how to apologize;
Marriage is the union between two people, and both parties will not always agree on the same thing.
There are sometimes when there will be disagreements or quarrels, and the only way forward is for one or both parties to apologize to make everything okay just as it used to be.
Teaching your son how to apologize will help him find it easy to admit when he is wrong and take responsibility for his actions.
Thanks for reading, and I hope this helps.
