It can be hard to find the time and ideas to keep them engaged or excited. Finding the balance to juggle work and family can be difficult. We indeed work every day to provide stability for our families, but fatherhood is more than earning a paycheck. ModernDayDads is here to help! Take a look at these Top Guydeas for Father-Son Bonding:

The percentage of self-care within the men population has increased dramatically in recent years. Men visit barbershops for hair, beard care, and facials more regularly. Barbershops are great bonding moments because they are full of other men sharing stories and exchanging memories that can provide diversity for our youth. Not only will you bond together, but making the barbershop visits a common occurrence, teaches young men the importance of self-care and confidence.
