A child's perspective

Children perceive things differently than adults do. While we may consider an event sressful, they may simply consider it fun. Planning birthday parties are stressful but children do not consider the stress involved, at least not all children do. Likewise, how we men display our characters around our children can be perceived in a completely opposite way, than what we intended, by our kids. While we might be trying to act "cool", they can perceive it as acting "silly" or "childish". It is quiet alright to play around and have fun with your children by acting silly, cool, or childish but it is not beneficial to either party if you display youself in a childish manner on a daily basis. At some point in our lives, preferably after marriage or before having children, we must realize we are men and are called to act like men. That means provide, protect, and love your family whom God has blessed you with.
