Being a dad to a 5-year-old boy and a 3-year-old girl is truly something special. Every day, I’m reminded of how much they reflect who my wife and I are, and sometimes, it’s surprising how much they pick up from us.
My son copies everything I do—how I talk, how I move. There was a time when he said, “I’m busy, I can’t play,” just like I sometimes say when I’m caught up with work. It made me pause and think—am I really showing him the right way to be?
Then there’s my daughter, who’s full of energy and always curious about everything. She reminds me to find joy in the little things, but when she’s upset, it’s like looking at my own reflection when I lose my temper. It’s a real eye-opener.
These kids see everything, and they don’t just pick up the good stuff—they catch the bad stuff too. It’s like they’re holding a mirror up to my face, showing me the things I need to work on. Sometimes, I feel like I’m the one learning from them, figuring out how to be a better person, a better father.
But at the end of the day, it’s all worth it. When I see them being kind, laughing freely, or just being themselves, I feel incredibly proud. It makes me want to be the best example I can be so that when they grow up, they can look back and say, “My dad showed me the way.”
These kids are my everything, and knowing they’re a reflection of me makes me want to be the best I can for them.
Children a reflection of the Parent
