This holiday is our chance to appreciate the father figures in our lives, but truthfully, their dedication deserves recognition all year round. Think about the countless times they’ve patiently helped with your homework or been your go-to for sound advice. So, show them love whenever you can. To celebrate on our part, we’ve collected some of the most wholesome dad moments we’ve found on the internet that are funny, touching, and everything in between. Plus, don’t miss our chat with dad coach Ian Dinwiddy, who shares his valuable tips. However, it only became a nationwide celebration in 1972, when President Richard Nixon declared the third Sunday of June a federal holiday for dads. It took Dodd 62 years of lobbying everyone from presidents to retailers to make this day happen. He told us his greatest joy as a parent comes from “creating the time, space and opportunity for [our] children to develop into great humans.” He also loves seeing the world through his kids’ eyes and appreciating their fresh perspective. For instance, Ian recalls one of his kids’ favorite memories when they were around 6 and 3 years old. They all went to a coffee shop together, and it was raining on one side of the street but not the other. Almost a decade later, they still treasure this experience. “Special moments are all around us,” Ian insists. One more dad shared, “I remember… crying on the bus on the first day. So, a combination of just being sleep deprived and really not wanting to be there when I was at work, I felt pretty rotten.” “Gender stereotypes dictate that men should be stoic and self-reliant, which are seen as signs of strength.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
