LEARNING TO BE A DAD
Though I still let my boy get away with a lot, I’ve since learned other ways to show him he is loved and valued. Every afternoon when he gets home from school, we spend a couple of hours talking about his day and working on his homework. I keep in touch with his teachers, always trying to be on top of his performance at school. And I am always trying to figure out whether his behavior (which by most standards is quite good) and his schoolwork (which is average to good) are symptoms of something else. Does he have Attention Deficit Disorder, or some psychological damage from the divorce? Or, as I am often told, is he just a boy being a boy?
