    I’m often asked about raising six kids, and being productive and achieving goals and changing habits in the midst of raising so many kids. But here’s the thing: I do all the other stuff, the productivity stuff, because of my kids.

    They, and my wife, are my reason for being.

    It is my lifelong goal to be the best dad possible, and while there are many ways I can still improve, I think I’m a pretty great dad already, when I sit back and think about it. I know there are some readers who are just starting out in their careers as dads, and this post is for you.

    How can you be a great dad? As always, my list of tips: Read more

    Well, try to understand the needs of the children rather than understanding the wants of them.Also maintain a strict disipline as far as their basic life style is concerened. Dont go by the world's standard.

    I'm walking into a relationship where the woman already has a kid.... But her mate was unfaithful to her... So I really want to be the best dad for her little girl as humanly possible... The little girl was so young when I started dating her mom, (she was 5 months) that I was pretty much the only father figure in her life. I really don't want to screw up at this.

    World's Standard sucks, I'm 18 and my parents never stabbed me or something and I'm pretty much well educated and ready to the world.

    And i find it nice that your goal is to be the best dad possible, your kids might be happy about it :)

    Pretty sound advice. The only thing is, it's one thing knowing what you need to do, and quite another having the patience to put it into practice consistently after a hard day's work. And you must have to work pretty hard, if you have all those mouths to feed.

    I think the best tip you can get is this: spend time with your children and love them from all your heart.

    As long as you follow that tip, then you will be the best dad. :)
