I want my son to have a happy childhood like I did, but I also want him to do well at school, play sports and learn empathy and respect. Sometimes it seems like a tall order. Maybe in his little world he is happy entertaining his own dreams. In the end, I may never know. And all I can do is be a dad who cares, and trust his personality, trust my guidance, and trust his school’s teaching, and believe that he will learn and grow and be a good person. And when that happens, maybe I’ll finally start to believe that I am actually a good enough dad.
