For daughters, their dads are their first loves; and for sons, their father is their first best friend. Whether or not you are close to your dad, one can’t deny that they make a huge impact in the lives of their children.

More than providers, they are often the rock, the anchor, and the pillar of the family. It’s comforting to know that you can always run to Papa, if ever you get a scraped knee or a broken heart.

Challenges of Being a Dad in Today’s World

But fathers are humans, too. They’re not perfect. They make mistakes – some, bigger than others – and they usually distance themselves intentionally from their loved ones. There’s nothing that time can’t heal though. With the right words (and the right timing), fathers and their children can still repair the bonds broken by circumstance.

While a mother’s role with their kids is pretty straightforward, the relationship dynamic between children and fathers are more complex. Dads have a tendency to ‘show’ their love rather than be vocal about it. Hence, certain resentments grow simply because dad never said that he was proud.

Another challenge for the men in the family is hitting the balance between providing and spending quality time. On one hand, they may see frequent overtime at the office as beneficial for their loved ones. But the other party may not think so. This disparity, when left unresolved, could result in hidden bitterness, anger, and frustration that will eat away at the core of his relationships.

How To Make Dads Feel Loved

You don’t need to spend lots of money to fly dad to a paradise resort, or buy him a gold watch. Believe it or not, fathers long for and appreciate small, everyday gestures.

For example: tell him that you appreciate all his hard work and that he’s doing great at being a parent. If your dad has trouble expressing his emotions, be the one to say ‘I love you’. Inasmuch as moms yearn to hear compliments, dads are, too! Don’t underestimate how your words can affect your father. He may not look like he wants a ‘pat on the back’ – but he does!

Simple, homemade gifts are also big on his list. Remember when you were 8 and you gave him a macaroni frame? He still has that on his desk. For special occasions, try baking him a cake or writing him a letter. He’ll appreciate it more than a Rolex (although that’s not a bad idea, either).

You don’t need to wait for his birthday or for Father’s Day to make him feel loved. Listening to him when he wants to tell you something, thanking him for picking up the groceries, or asking him about how his day went, are all good things to do to make dads feel cherished.

Not sure what to say? For those with dads celebrating their birthdays, pick out some warm wishes and messages from the list below. He’ll love reading them in a handmade card!
