The Importance of Father and Son Dates [One Minute Feature]

If you have a Facebook account, I’m sure you’ve seen a video or two promoting father/daughter dates. These videos typically depict a father dressing up and taking his daughter on a “date,” in order to teach her how she should be treated by a man. You’ve probably also seen advertisements in your children’s school promoting father/daughter dances or breakfasts.

The Importance of Father and Son Dates [One Minute Feature]

As important as these father/daughter bonding moments are, where are the events for fathers and sons? When is the last time you saw a video depicting a father/son fishing trip? Or heard about a father/son event at a school or church? Father and son time is crucial to your son’s overall development, and there are countless benefits to making time for just you and him.

Why Father and Son Time is Crucial to Your Son’s Development

We hear a lot about the value of daddy/daughter dates, but, as important as they are, let’s not forget our sons. I have such a burden for young men, because we really do have a crisis of manhood today. So dads, I encourage you to consider daddy/son dates. You’ve no idea what they would mean to your son. This is especially true if you’re well respected in your church, business, and community.

Too often, men who are well-respected outside the home tend to be a bit absent inside the home. Dads, our first ministry should be to the future fathers who live under our roofs right now. Taking time for a date with just you and your son will tell him just how special he is to you. It can also be an insurance policy against delinquency.
