A dad’s words can shape a child for life. Don’t hold back from telling your children you love them, believe in them and are proud of them.

Twenty-five years on, "Band of Brothers" still reminds us of the courage, brotherhood and leadership forged when ordinary men rise to extraordinary challenges.

The patterns fathers establish today can shape their families for decades. Thinking ahead with small, intentional choices now can build stronger relationships, lasting faith and a legacy worth passing on.

A young mother's line — "he's got some growing up to do" — is a fair description of some men today. Here's what maturity looks like for a husband and father.

David Maywald's new book, "100 of the Best Books for Men", is a curated guide honouring authors and thinkers who illuminate manhood, character, and purpose.

Dad, your children don't need you to be perfect; they need you to pay attention — to them, to yourself, to the moments fatherhood keeps bringing your way.

When co-parenting feels like war, "just cooperate" isn't enough. Here's how to break the cycle, protect your kids, and play the long game after divorce — even if she never changes.

When your kids push your buttons, Dad, how do you respond? It starts with that inner attitude of respect, Dad. When they're at their worst, that's your moment to be at your best.

As institutions adopt new cultural norms, parents can no longer outsource character formation. The home, not the system, is now the decisive arena shaping strong, resilient sons and daughters.

A teenage boy’s heroic swim to save his family becomes a powerful reflection on courage, faith, fatherhood, and the kind of character our culture should celebrate and cultivate.

They believe that being a father is the greatest privilege given to any man, and so take their fatherhood seriously.

Single dads often carry tremendous weight. Some of the toughest times in my entire parenting journey happened when I was a single father. But I have also experienced joy in my life that, apart from being a parent, I never would have known existed.

I watched as my toddler's head gently touched the floor. And right on cue, with impeccable timing, she wailed: “I hurt my head!” — before summoning her best crocodile tears.

The princess longs for a good man who adores her, the knight for a lady worthy of such worship. Romance of this sort builds character and makes for better men and women.

Why do some dads obsess over sports errors their kids make? Few will ever be pro. No matter which team wins or loses, we should be rooting for all these kids to post great numbers in the character stats. Because I guarantee the boy who does well in this will likely succeed in life.

Dads4Kids and the Men’s Leadership Summit are deeply committed to helping all men stand for the better way, the masculine way. As the great Billy Graham said, “Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.”

Every father wants to be a hero in his son’s eyes. Every father dreams of leaving a lasting impact, of being the guiding force that shapes his son into a confident, capable leader. This program is an invitation to intentionally invest in your relationship with your son in a way that will echo for generations.

One of the key ways fathers shape their children is through play. Studies show that dads spend a larger percentage of their parenting time engaged in play, often favouring more physically active, rough-and-tumble interactions, like me with Squish at the beach.

As we cultivate our character, we become the man we can be. And our children will thank us!
