I think one of the most important things a dad can do is get down on their level every single day and play with their kids. He needs to become a fireman, a police officer, a pilot, a monster. He needs to get down there and play with their kid on a child's level. There are lots of reasons for this, but the biggest reason is that parents who play with their kids, know their kids. They know if their children are feeling justice or injustice within the family. They know if bullying is going on. They can get a sense of what their child is doing in day-to-day life. For that reason, dads get down and play with their kids. They make sure they make time for it every single day. No matter what is going on, no matter how busy life gets, they always play with their kids. It's one of the most important things a dad can do with their kids. They always make it a priority.

Dan Pearce

Blogger & Single Dad

Dan Pearce is the divorced father of four year old Noah, who came to him through adoption. Dan is also the author of The Real Dad Rules and Single Dad Laughing: The Complete Second Year, and his blog, Single Dad Laughing. When he started Single Dad Laughing in the summer of 2010, his then-wife had left his life almost as quickly as she’d come into it, and he was feeling about as valuable as a dollar-store sweater (and unraveling just as quickly). He started the blog because writing has always had the power to heal him in his darkest of moments. His goal is to spread worthwhile ways of looking at things. Before becoming a writer, Dan worked in retail, in the corporate world, and as an animal artist.
