ALT-1 Fun Fathers Day Activities for Kids
My father was relentless. He never ran out of things that we should be doing. Fun activities with my father when my sister and I were kids was when he would get home and look at us with wonder... that he knew how he was conducting his life would benefit us. His future was in our future. If we wobbled then he was there to stand firm and solidly upright while dictating what we should do to steady ourselves. My father taught me to ride my first bicycle. My first bicycle was enamel red and new; braking it was by stopping the pedals with my feet and hopping off. He knew we would grow up and need to be resourceful of our world, so he made sure that we listened to what he could teach us. Most of all he taught us to regard him very highly, as he conducted his life with religious work ethic and proved an exemplary model of mind over matter. He was able to learn how to adjust to everything he wanted to accomplish, and he did not leave anything undone. He was very knowledgeable about a variety of mechanical fields: He could weld, retool a broken part on his lathe, and manufacture ingenious devices in his shop which he could then use to advance his work efforts. He worked in Construction as a contractor, which he only decided would be his job after we immigrated to the United States and he was able to help a cousin of his establish his building business. Finding that this would pay his bills, he maintained this as his job for 40years. So what activites should kids be involved in for Father's Day? How about consciously making an effort to honor your father? A father that provides for his kids cares something about the family's welfare. The question you need to ask yourself is what does your father care most about? Reward him for it, but certainly not with something so indifferent that if he were to receive it, he would sigh, "another father's day dealt with". Help him especially relax doing easy light happy things that could be memorable in years to come. If your father is a laborer what is fun to him? Tired people who live by their own motivation are not easy to move in doing unnecessary activities through which they feel as though they are going to be slacking in their serious approach to life. Playing in-between working was too lax for my father, its as though he was cheating himself by not challenging his mind (and what a mind, his mind was photographic) He did take vacations though, but everything had to be in regimental order before he left and his workers needed to know what they should be doing during his absence. One needs to assign his purpose to himself continually and to his kids objectively. Perhaps in california one can take his kids to the beach. Other activities depend on kids age and the working pulse of the home environment.
