Topics A Father Must Discuss With His Son

No other statement sums up fatherhood better.  “Any man can be a father but not every man can be a dad”. There are some men out there who have ditched their God given  responsibilities because maybe, they didn’t know HOW to be a dad and show their son the way. The following are a few pointers for current and potential.
1. Sex As Discussion.
This can be a weird subject to bring up, but those who have sons, this is an absolute necessity. With teenage pregnancies, unwanted pregnancies, and sex being misused altogether.
A woman’s body is a temple, not a sex machine. Your penis isn’t something to just stick in anything. Not to mention the fact that STD’s are running rampant in society. I’m not saying show your child porn at 8 or 9 years old, but an honest, in depth, no holds barred conversation about sex is a must. If your son asks, be real.

2. Personal Hygiene
Too many teenagers, grown men too, walk around smelling like who done it and why. Before he hits puberty this is a conversation that should be had. The use of deodorant and powder is beneficial. A fancy body spray covering up funk is a no bueno on all levels.
Taking a shower a few times a week is NOT OK.  Brushing teeth and showers should be daily, for some twice a day. If you have to demonstrate how to wash and where, do it. Washing your hair should not go unmentioned. More importantly, let him know that just running the water for a half hour without the use of soap does not constitute a shower. Especially if you want to attract the fairer sex, no self-respecting woman wants a brother who is brain dead when it comes to hygiene.
3. Being A Gentleman
In a time when chivalry is seemingly on life support, it is vital that your son knows that being polite and a gentleman goes very far in life. Things like holding the door, pulling out a seat, opening the car door manually and even helping someone with their bags always works.

4. Friends
When children grow up they use this phrase a lot, “that’s my friend…”  This could be one of the hardest to instill, because even as adults, we seem to get the lines of friends, associates, and acquaintances mixed up. Children need to know about false loyalty as well as who his true friends are. Will they have your back no matter what?  Because when they become teens, they’ll really start to see and feel the difference. Once he can differentiate friends from associates, it’ll work for him in the long run.
5. Keep Your Word
Sometimes all a man has is his word.  This could not be any more true. When you make a promise, keep it. When you say you will do something, do it.

At the end of it all, no one (especially a future wife) wants a man who is always unreliable and undependable.
6. Respect Women
How YOU treat women, especially his mother, will always have a lasting effect.
Female dogs, garden tools, or any other degrading insulting phrase or name used for a woman should NOT be in his vocabulary. While sex is a good thing, a woman’s vagina isn’t his, nor is he entitled to have it anytime he wants. In addition, help him understand how he would feel if someone disrespected his sister, mother, or any female member of the family.
