General,
Tips 
I’ve really been out of action for quite sometime since I have mainly been working on a new business venture and setting up a company for it. Now that most of the initial work is done, I sat down to reflect on how much time I might have actually lost with my wonderful young kids. Even though its just been a few months, it just cant be replaced. Being a dad comes with its own set of challenges since I have to balance work and family life every single day. I really want to make sure that I am there for my kids at least 1 hour a day.

Tips Although I have always had fun going shopping with my eldest to shop for toys (nothing beats the pleasure of seeing that look on her face), I haven’t been very lucky in getting her to clean up her toys. It always looks like a warzone once she ha finished playing with her toys and turns her attention to the TV. My poor wife has to try and convince my daughter to pick up her toys and it always seems to be a battle she loses.

Tips Well it’s always been a challenge getting my eldest daughter to finish her food or milk during feeding time. I’m sure a lot of Dads and Moms out there would agree with me.

Kids are getting smarter and it just looks like some of these traditional methods don’t work - no offense to Super Nanny.
