"Oh those boys are much too much! Those boys are much too much!"

Now I not going to say too much about the Dad’s “body language” in this commercial (cause we all know there are many “like him” who are dad’s too). Anyway, the commercial is too cute "Oh those boys are much too much! Those boys are much too much!"

According to the Ad council “More than 79% of Americans feel "the most significant family or social problem facing America is the physical absence of the father from the home." Research shows that the lack of a father in the home correlates closely with crime, educational and emotional problems, teenage pregnancy, and drug and alcohol abuse.

In an effort to show dads the critical role they play in their children's lives, the Ad Council has partnered with the National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse and volunteer ad agency Campbell-Ewald to create a new PSA campaign that communicates to fathers that their presence is essential to their children's well-being. The campaign provides fathers with the information they need to become better dads.

While Dad’s body language is questionable the underlined point is that being a parent is really about being in the moment with your children. Being in the moment simply means eliminating the distractions, yes distractions such as talking on phone, perusing the internet, and yes watchin YOUR show. The great thing is that these moments become great teachable moments which turn into lasting moments that your children can carry on into adulthood.

I remember walking home with my dad from school and when it was COLDDDDDD! He would pop the collar of his coat and say “Baby we gotta hurry up and get home cause the hulk is out” Every time he said this I swear I starting looking for the incredible hulk to jump out somewhere. It wasn’t until sometime later that I realized “the hulk” was the cold wind. But I remember our walks home as fun and full of sixties lingo.
