Key Message:
Being a great dad isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up, being consistent, and building trust with your child. Your presence, love, and attention matter more than anything else.

Discussion Points:

• Your child doesn’t need a perfect dad—they need a present dad.
• The lasting impact of small, consistent actions in your child’s life.
• Letting go of guilt for past mistakes and focusing on the present and future.

Video Prompt:

Title: “The Father They Need”
Length: ~6–7 minutes
Script Example:
“Your kid doesn’t care if you’ve got the fanciest car or the biggest house. What they care about is whether you show up. Do you listen to them? Do you cheer them on? Do they know you’re in their corner? Being a great dad is about being there—fully and consistently.”

Action Steps:

1. Reflection Exercise:
   • Write down three things you’ve done recently to show your child you’re there for them.
   • Identify one area where you want to improve (e.g., listening more, spending more time together).

1. Daily Check-In Practice:

1. • Start a daily check-in ritual with your child. Ask:
     • “What was the best part of your day?”
     • “What’s one thing you’re excited about tomorrow?”
   • This builds trust and emotional connection.
