The Berg's love getting out together (Not to mention Berg Family Fun Nights)... And Court and I LOVE having "Daddy-Daughter"/"Mommy-Son" Dates!! Do you!?
*A lot of dads like the idea, but they don’t know where to
start. Here's a quick blurb from dad and blogger Jay Payleitner.

Here is Jay’s simple advice for that challenge: Enter her world and enjoy your time together.
Jay continues: “You can’t force deep, meaningful,

Jay provides about a hundred different great ideas you can
carry out with your daughter at her age—and I know at least some of them will

“The primary purpose of dating your daughter is making
memories and cementing your lifetime connection. But there’s another huge
benefit to showing up on time, opening her car door, treating her with respect,
and handling any mishaps with grace and a smile... You’re modeling for
your daughter the way any boy should act when she goes out on any date at any
time.”
Also, I think one of Jay’s suggestions will really surprise
you: “In the middle of your time together, hope something goes terribly
wrong.” More ...
Since every father-child relationship is different, what
ideas do you have to add? Maybe you can help another dad bond with his child. What are your secrets?
