• be a hands-on dad instead of a passive dad
• handle disciplinary matters yourself, without any yelling, nagging, hitting, or passing the buck to mom
• talk to kids (and adults too, actually) about problems in a calm, business-like manner, acting neither like a wimp nor a bully
• avoid doing what most parents unwittingly do that escalates conflict
• train kids to respond to just two words, to put an immediate halt to misbehavior
• avoid anger, frustration, and embarrassment at home or in public
• discourage bad habits and prevent the formation of new ones
• help kids learn how to manage impulses and resolve negative emotions
• respect your children and promote their good self-esteem
• watch out for bad influences and sinister characters
• cultivate good relationships with your kids, and avoid the mistakes that lead many well-intended dads to heartbreaks
• encourage performance and personal growth
• reclaim your place as an integral part of the family
