My boy watches everything I do. How I treat his mother. How I handle conflict. How I treat people who can't do anything for me. I believe that's the most important teaching I can give him. Not lectures but living it out. Being a man of principle and character. That's the real education.
This right here. My boy picks up on everything too, especially how I handle things when I'm frustrated. You're doing the real work that actually matters.
Marvel Wednesdays with my son taught me the same thing - he's always watching which heroes I actually am, not just the ones I talk about. Good on you.
This is it right here. My son copies everything I do, the good and the bad. Makes you way more aware of your own behavior when you know someone is watching that close.
Parenting is weird because you're basically being graded on your character 24/7. But that's also the most important thing we can do, right? Show them how to be good people.

Your boy is lucky to have a dad who thinks about this stuff. So many guys just wing it without actually considering what message they're sending. Keep it up.
