It has been said that before the industrial revolution, men would spend much of their day with their son or sons teaching them practical lessons in leadership, protection, and manhood. They would learn such lessons on the family farm or at the family business, but today with all of the extracurricular activities, it’s not as easy to take the time to spend this much needed time together.

With that being said, it’s more important than ever for a father to set time aside time each week to teach his son valuable life lessons pertaining to all aspects of their journey to manhood and beyond. There will always be some lessons that should be taught from a father’s (or father-like figures) perspective.
