Father's Day is this Sunday. It's the perfect time to show some extra love and kindness to the special dads in your life. To celebrate, we asked a bunch of kids to talk about their dad. Here are their sweet (and funny) answers:
How does your dad show you kindness? How does he teach you how to be kind to others?
"When I was sick, my dad stayed home with me and took care of me." Kamila, age 3
"He does the right thing. And ... he tickles me and does silly things like pretend farts." Isaac, age 5
"My dad goes out of his way for me and serves others in community service projects." Ellis, age 12
"My dad does things even when he doesn't want to (like ride roller coasters)." - Kaelyn, age 15
"He carries me upstairs at night. He tells me to be nice to all the kids at school." Alaina, age 8
"Daddy works and makes money so we can have food." Devin, age 5
"He lets me stay up an extra 30 minutes. He reminds me to treat others like the way I want to be treated." Garrett, age 11
"My dad is kind to me by playing with me and starting fires for us. He doesn't really teach me to be kind … mom does!" Charlie, age 8
"Dad plays with me all the time … even while watching TV." Evan, age 3
"He gives me hugs and teaches me to be nice." Ella, age 5
"He tells me that if I trip someone, I'm supposed to help them back up." Travis, age 6
"Dad takes me to school every morning and is my Cub Scout leader." James, age 8
"He shows me he loves me by leaving me alone." Ryan, age 6
"My dad teaches me to be kind by waving and saying hello to people." Caleb, age 12
"Dad teaches me manners and comes to my soccer games." Clara, age 10
"He honks my nose when he says good night, and it makes me feel good. If he misses a night, he honks twice the next night." Jenna, age 10
"Dad helps me give money to street performers when I don't have my money with me." Jackson, age 13
"He comes to my school events and helps me play soccer. He always tells me to say please and thank you." Abby, age 10
"My dad is kind to me through the little things in life. He gets me what I want for lunch and lets me choose what I want to do. He's taught me to be caring toward anyone and everyone." Drew, age 14
Darling, right? Out of the mouths of babes! We would love to hear what your kids say about the dads in their lives. Drop a comment on our Instagram or Facebook posts.
And thank you to all the men who show us love and kindness, and teach us how to do the same to others. Happy Father's Day!
