Derek Markham has put together his own list for ‘100 ways to be a better Father’ – and we think it is great! Here are his top 10 but you can check out the rest on his website ‘Natural Papa.’ Or, work on your own list & let us know via the forum.

• Say I love you. A lot.
• Laugh at yourself. All the time.
• Do something wacky and unpredictable in front of your kids.
• Fall in love with your wife. Again.
• Drop your change in a jar each day. When full, open a savings account for your child.
• Give yourself a break. I haven’t met a father yet who doesn’t make mistakes.
• Unplug the TV and pretend it’s broken once in a while. Or hide it.
• Find out about your family history and start sharing it with your kids.
• Learn some really corny kid jokes and use them often.
• Remember, they’re never too old for piggyback rides.
