BEING A FATHER
What defines a good relationship between a father and his children?
Perhaps one of the happiest moments in a man's life is when he discovers he's going to be a father. It's an exciting adventure, but in most cases, it becomes a path filled with doubts and insecurities. Will I be able to handle the situations that arise? Will I be up to the task? At Roberto Ley, we know that the perfect father doesn't exist, but we are clear that being a good father is a matter of desire and determination. That's why, in today's post, we show you the characteristics a good father should have and how to improve in some aspects of parenthood.
Be empathetic
Every person is unique, and that includes our children. Despite being raised with the same values as us, there's a clear difference between their upbringing and ours, with the resulting disparity in our way of thinking. We may not understand the reasons for certain things at first, but that doesn't mean we can't put ourselves in their shoes and try to understand the reasons that led them to react that way. Empathy is an essential characteristic for a good relationship between parents and children.
Be an example
There's no point in wanting our children to behave a certain way if we ourselves are unable to achieve it. Consistency is a fundamental element in raising a child, as is learning to properly utilize emotional intelligence. It's vital to be a source of knowledge for them, so that they see us as a role model. To achieve this, we must be clear about the values we want to instill in them. Tolerance, respect, kindness, and understanding can be some of them.

My name is Rafael Lacarcel, I am the owner of the Roberto Ley brand. I have two children, aged 19 and 17. As an entrepreneur, I have dedicated practically my entire life to the business, including many business trips. This has allowed me to survive to this day, with many problems and worries that I unfortunately carried and continue to carry back home, with the corresponding emotional burden that is almost always borne by those closest to me. I can't afford to give any advice, but I assure you that time passes very quickly, too quickly. The most important thing we have is family. In these difficult times, when life, due to strange circumstances, has given some of you the opportunity to be with your children, you should take advantage of it, enjoy them, play, talk, listen to music, have lunch or dinner with them. You will appreciate it, and they even more so.
