Whether you understand it or not, to your child, you are Superman. At least it starts off that way. When it comes to fathering there is nothing sadder than a Dad falling from grace. Being a Dad means managing a daily cluster of different hats – much like Superman. Your daily report card is visible to us all. The way your children behave is a direct reflection on you and your wife.
When children go out in public they behave the same way as in the home. They don’t know to act differently because to them it’s the same as being in the house.
You have a responsibility to your children to be understanding, spend time with them, build a relationship with them, and be one of the first mentors in their life. That is what it means to wear the cape – taking the enormous responsibility that has been entrusted in you and never letting your children down. Your children have high expectations and it is up to you not to disappoint them.

I would love to contribute to your blog. Just let me know when.
I agree and disagree with this.
Yes, being a parent means setting an example. Simple, true.
However, my kids generally know to leave their pants on when they leave the house. Conversely, they usually don’t tend to cry and yell for that new toy they just have to have riiiiiiiggggggggggggggggggght now when we’re at home.
Sometimes, the outside environment can overwhelm them to the point that they act nothing like the well behaved creatures @ home, and turn into public monsters.
