Embracing the Reality of Parenting

Parenting teaches the concept of unavoidable reality where control shifts from the parent to the kids. This newfound life involves accepting the unpredictability and constant changes that come with raising children. Fathers learn to embrace these moments such as waiting during dance practice, comforting a sick child, or engaging in endless stories. Regardless of life stages, from school to having families of their own, the role of a parent remains one of support and presence, where being on call and actively participating is key.
