As a father, one of the most important things you can do for your child is to provide them with the best start in life and do whatever it is you can to ensure they are successful in their adult life. How a child starts out greatly affects their quality of life they will enjoy and their chances for success in later life.
1. Spend quality time together
One of the best gifts you can give to your child is the gift of your time. By this, I do not simply mean spending the day or large amount of your time with them, but engaging with your child with a focus on doing specific things together. Some of these things could be initiated by your child, such as looking for small crawling bugs, working with playdough or reading a book. The important thing is that you do it together at the child's pace and you are both having fun.
