It\u2019s what you\u2019re doing while your kids are at school, or in other cases, while they\u2019re asleep at night. Great dads (and healthy people) aspire to what we call \u201cwork life balance\u201d which only further perpetuates this silo. Work is not supposed to intersect with your time with your kids.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The problem? Well, where are you kids supposed to learn the importance of work ethic? How are they supposed to know what a hard working dad looks like if they never actually get to see it? How are they supposed to learn what work looks like at all?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is an old Latin expression <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A bove maiori discit arare minor. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The younger ox learns to plow from the elder. That\u2019s because the oxen would be harnessed in together. The kid would not only get to see their dad do what they do, they\u2019d be literally strapped into it together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obviously good boundaries are important. Obviously you don\u2019t want your work life to overwhelm or interfere with your home life. But make sure that striving for this balance doesn\u2019t accidentally deprive your kid of an important example\u2014Dad, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the provider.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Dad, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the protector.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Dad, the hard-working guy they can hold up as an inspiration. It doesn\u2019t matter what your profession is, whether you\u2019re a CEO or a stay-at-home dad or you\u2019ve since retired. Show your kids your work. Show \u2018em how much you put into it.
