History class on Father's day. In 1909, Sonora Smart, a lady in family of six raised singly by their father after their mother passed on, began canvassing her community in Washington for annual observance of Father's day. In 1966 the US President Lyndon B Johnson issued a presidential proclamation declaring that the third Sunday in June be celebrated as Father's Day.

What are your responsibilities as a father in raising children besides providing for them? Be kind, nurturing and genuinely connect with your child without distraction. Express love in healthy ways. Take good care of yourself both physically and mentally and model into them appropriate behavior. Be understanding and forgiving.

It is a message from your son or daughter that is the most genuine expression of love of all. Comparable to this love is the mark a present father leaves in his child's view of life: indelible.

Happy Father's Day, from all of us at Natrali.

One of the most important keys to maximizing command/ instruction response (compliance) is making sure that kids are getting the message you’re trying to send. When it comes to parenting, sometimes the way instructions are given can be just as important as what you’re trying to communicate.

Child Mind Institute (https://childmind.org), which delivers free resources to millions of families and training to hundreds of educators each year, recently shared ways to present information to your children to make it more likely that they’ll hear you, and comply:

Be direct. Make statements rather than asking questions: “Please sit down,” as opposed to “Are you ready to get out your homework?”

Be close. Give instructions when you are near the child, rather than calling out from across the room.

Use clear and specific commands. Instead of “Go ahead,” say, “Please go start your reading assignment.”

Give age-appropriate instructions. Speak to your child at a level he will understand. If your child is younger, keep things simple and use words you know he knows: “Please pick up the ball.” With older children, who are so often keenly aware of not being “babies anymore” it’s important to be clear without being patronizing.

Give instructions one at a time. Especially for kids who have attention challenges, try to avoid giving a series of instructions: “Please put on your sneakers, get your lunch off the kitchen counter, and meet me in the front hall.” Try one command at a time.

Keep explanations simple. Giving a rationale can increase the likelihood children will listen to a command, but not if the commands gets lost in it. For instance: “Go get your coat on because it’s raining and I don’t want you to catch a cold.” Instead, try: “It’s raining and I don’t want you to catch a cold. Go get your coat on.”

Give kids time to process. After you give an instruction, wait a few seconds, without repeating what you said. Children then learn to listen to calm instructions given once rather than learning that they don’t need to listen because the instructions will be repeated. Watching and waiting also helps keep adults from doing what we’ve requested of our kids for them.
