NO GIRLS ALLOWED
BE EMOTIONAL
Plan father-son
activities without Mom
or sisters. Take time
to do "guy" stuff.
let your son know you hear him.
Ask questions about what's going
on in his world. Then turn the
tables and allow him to ask personal
questions to you.
5
GET OUTSIDE
Throw the ball around,
go on a bike ride, take
a hike or set up camp.
The fresh air and
physical activity
creates opportunities
for bonding
moments that
your son will
carry with him for
years to come.
7
BE PRESENT
Remember it's not
what you buy him, but the time you spend
with him that he'll cherish. Make time for
fun, to listen and be silly.
