Dad, Start a New Habit, Like One-on-one Time

An article on Fathers.com contributed by Carey Casey

A great story about how a tradition started two decades ago is now being passed on to another generation. 

"To finish Gary’s story, his kids are now in their early thirties. His daughter is married and has two children of her own, and they still live nearby, so Gary still has a regular “lunch date” with her.
And that’s cool, but you know what’s even better? Gary’s daughter’s husband is doing it, too! Inspired by his father-in-law, he takes his 7-year-old daughter out to lunch on Saturdays."

Some other good advice:
Schedule the dates
Boys communicate "sideways" during activities
Get out of the house
Fit their schedule when needed
Make it special
