1. My dad is so special because he works so hard it is not even human.
2. My favorite thing to do with my dad is go to the park.
3. I love the way he comes home and doesn’t express his tiredness.
4. One way to learn about your child is to go to the park. You can go out to eat and talk! Spend some time together! Also, you need to love them, just like my dad does!
Antonia G., fifth grade
1. The most important thing that my dad does is that he takes care of us. My dad always cooks delicious meals and he makes sure we are healthy.
2. My favorite thing to do with my dad is have a daddy/daughter date.
3. What I love most about my dad is that he really gets me. I mean that, if anything is wrong, he knows what to do.
4. Some advice that dads need about kids is that we are crazy! When we say, “I’m fine,” or “Yeah, I’m happy,” it doesn’t all mean we are OK. You should really put detail in how we say it. The last piece of advice is that you should always get involved with things, like secrets and crushes.
