Being a good father means something different to a lot of people, but
to Andrew Konomanyi it means showing a good example and passing on
certain values. It is not easy being a father, especially when you have
to be away a lot. On one hand you are doing what is expected of you,
creating the financial means that will help your children in short and
long term. At the same time, you cannot expect them to understand the
importance of certain values if you are not there to show and teach
them. It is a constant struggle but you have the means to figure it out.
Taking Advantage of the Internet
If you are a businessman who travels a lot, you have to find a way to connect with your children even when you are not home. If they are old enough to be communicative, you can use different messaging and video apps with them. Being there often means listening to them, sharing your thoughts and you don’t necessarily have to be there for that, if they can see and hear you, they will be able to share their thoughts with you.
Planning Ahead
If you are away a lot, plan fun endeavors with your child, often weeks or months ahead. A birthday or a big game, or maybe even a vacation! Andrew Konomanyi notes that until you are willing to put in the effort when you are actually there, as well as letting them know that you’re thinking about them when you are not, children will be able to handle being apart.
