Week 2: Sky's The Limit

This is my Sky's The Limit Post!

A Shout Out To All Of The Involved Dads!  You Are Making A Difference In Your Child's Education!

I came across this very touching video the other day and I wanted to share it.  This is MY shout out to all the DADS making a difference in your kid's life.  We all need a Dad in our life even if that 'Dad' is found in an uncle, grandfather, neighbor, etc.

Many of the kids in this video talk about what makes their Dad special: it is the fact that he is always there and involved or present!  Just being there for your child is what truly matters.  I am grateful because my husband, Erran is always there for our children: Faye, Quinn and Dane.  They are blessed and so am I.  He's present at all of their sporting events (even coaches some of the teams), he's attentive and listens to their problems and helps them figure out a solution.  He's there for each of them emotionally, too.  He's also there for them when it relates to their education.  He's in each of their corners cheering them on to success with their schooling.  Some days can be challenging with homework or preparing and studying for tests, but he's there telling them that their hard work pays off.  We also have a saying in our house, "Zinzers never give up!"

A father's involvement in their child's education is a key component to his/her success.  Research has shown that fathers, no matter what their income or cultural background, can play a critical role in their children’s education.  When fathers are involved, their children learn more, perform better in school, and exhibit healthier behavior.  Even when fathers do not share a home with their children, their active involvement can have a lasting and positive impact.
