Happy Father's day - fatherhood stages

18 JUNE 2017, 11:47 AM There's a stage for a father to tell his child, to not do so, so and so. The kid is usually too young and immature to understand at this point the consequences of his/her actions so pops dishes out orders. Then comes the stage of explaining to them why they shouldn't do so so and so. At this point you want to help them manage their erroneous perceptions of invincibility and of being infallible. Then there's finally a stage to tell them why you did so so and so. That is a stage of vulnerability for the man but it is when the child is matured enough not to judge amiss but to appreciate that pops is human after all and forever to be cherished as dad, daddy, old boy or oko man. Happy Father's day to all we men irrespective of the stage(s) you are going through with your kids. ©Uncle's corner
