A Hug for Fathers đ
To the Fathers Who Read These Words
This Fatherâs Day season, I wanted to offer you something simple, but full of meaning:
A hug in a poemâfor all you fathers who show up, quietly and courageously, every day.
A Hug for Fathers
By C. Lynn Williams
This is your moment, just take it inâ
A breath, a pause, a whisper within.
You do so much, you give your all,
You show up strong, though you may fall.
You carry weight no one can see,
But still you lead your family.
With quiet hands and thoughtful eyes,
You teach your children how to rise.
Whether you’re changing diapers, making meals,
Coaching from sidelines, or making dealsâ
Whether your home is full or your heart still waits,
You are a father, and thatâs something great.
So hereâs a hug tucked in this rhyme,
A thank-you for your love and time.
For every âyes,â for every âtry,â
For being thereâyou are the why.
Keep leading, loving, growing, too.
The world is better because of you.
From my heart to yoursâHappy Fatherâs Day.
And to my own dad, whom I miss every dayâthank you for showing me what love looks like. đ

How Your Child Feels about A Back-to-School Workspace
Think back to your first day of school? What was it like?
I remember having a new pair of shoes and school supplies. I also remember having a desk and meeting new classmates.
At home we had after school routines to follow. They werenât new because we followed them all the time. One of those routines was – DO YOUR HOMEWORK 1st!
I shared a bedroom with my kid sister. We didnât have a desk in our room, so we did our homework at the kitchen table. There were a few times that homework was not completed before dinner, but that happened once I got to high school.
Fast forward to 2021!
We have operated in a remote learning environment for the last 15 months and many of you have opted to continue home schooling or having your son or daughter attend school remotely.
If your child is attending school remotely, be sure to establish a specific place in your home for them to attend school and complete their homework. đđ
Help them understand how important this space is, and most important- how excited you are for what they will accomplish and learn during this school year.
If they are attending school in-person, that dedicated space will still be necessary for them to complete homework and projects.
Remind them to keep it neat and organized.
By the way, let their brothers and sisters know that they are not to âborrowâ (or destroy) any school supplies without permission.
Have a wonderful, successful school year with your child.
I help parents build the kind of communication and trust that allow parent-child relationships to grow and feel better. đ
