Preparing Kids for Life's Challenges
Our job as fathers is to raise kids tough enough, loved enough to deal with what life is going to throw at them. Suffering and pain are inevitable parts of life, and we cannot spare our kids from experiencing them. Our responsibility is to toughen our kids up and prepare them for the uncertain and challenging times that lie ahead. Frederick Douglass's words remind us that it is easier to build strong children than to repair broken adults.

"Oh how you wish you could make sure they never suffered. Oh how you wish you could have prevented these last couple weeks. You don’t want them to be scared. You don’t want them to hurt. You don’t want them to miss out on anything. To tell them they can’t see their friends. They can’t go to prom. To have to say, as many dads are having to say, 'Sorry, we can’t afford that right now.'
But guess what? That’s not possible."
