“A Dad’s Point-of-View” is my column which I’ve self-syndicated for less than a year, to stellar results and penetration. My name is Bruce Sallan and I hope you’ll take a moment to consider its value to your website. “A Dad’s Point-of-View” is this dad’s opinions on various parenting topics, all from a male perspective. I believe, fervently, that this subject is overly dominated by women and needs the balance that I, a man, present. Obviously, you’re doing this already so I don’t know if you want other submissions/bloggers/columnists?

My self-syndication efforts have resulted in the column being carried in over 75 newspapers and websites throughout the U.S. and internationally, including the U.K. and India. Please visit my website – http://www.brucesallan.com – to access a partial list of links to sites and papers that carry my column, as well as reader comments, and a large archive of both my “A Dad’s Point-of-View” columns and other writing.

Would love to connect regardless. I’m on Facebook. Haven’t done Twitter yet but I guess it’s inevitable!

Sincerely;

Bruce Sallan

Patience is HARD, definitely one of the hardest for me. I do my very best for sure, but there’s no doubt – it is being a dad that has enabled me to find the patient man inside myself. You WILL be a good father. Why? Because you are taking things into consideration pre-zygote, something remarkably few are willing to do.

Thanks for the compliments, buddy.

This particular line struck a chord for me. “Practiced composure is like that single drop of super serum that turns that skinny kid into Captain America.” How true. My biggest weakness is that I lack patience that I should have learned as a child but did not fully form.

That aside, it is the aspect that I am working on most right now to make myself better and more able in preparation for having children of my own. These are all great guidelines which I will most certainly reference as I respect your writing, your advice, and your experience. Thanks.

Jarkko: Thanks, man! I get the feeling you are quite the reader, so I’ll gladly take that as the high compliment I’m sure it was meant to be. Big smiles.

PJ Mullen: There are few things that warm my heart than the way my son treats his mom. I know he’s doing his best impression of me and that makes me happy. I know I did my own best interpretation of my father growing up, and often still do, to my mother. This is not necessarily a good thing, though it has helped me to be especially mindful of my own interactions, especially in front of their eyes.

Trina: Yes, and you can expect more in the future. I hear they do quite well in social media, though this one only got 6 tweets. I think part of it is that people don’t expect me to do them at all, so I need to work hard to improve the impression a bit, which I will start trying to do. Thanks!

W. Sterling: NO ONE IS PERFECT. Never before and never in the future, but we can always try harder. I know when I need to try harder, and most days there is at least one thing I could have done better. That’s what the next sunrise is for.

Cindy: I wouldn’t be half the dad I am if you weren’t the mom. I mean it times ten, baby. I love you.

Susan: Absolutely. This could easily be a parenting list and not a dad list, but since I’m Writer Dad I thought I should roll with the flow. : > ) Thanks Susan!

Joel: This can be normal, but she still needs to show you respect. If she’s showing a preference for mom, kindly kiss her on the forehead and have confidence that it will pass. However, if she is being disrespectful then have mom back you up by not going into the room. Let her understand that there is a right and a wrong way to get her needs responded to. Otherwise you are teaching her that that sort of disrespect is acceptable. Hurting your feelings intentionally is NOT okay.

Kool Aid: I couldn’t agree with you more. Our daughter had a birthday party scheduled that included pony rides, I kid you not, and we took the party away from her two hours before it was time to go because of her disrespectful behavior. Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do. YOU are a good mom!

Scott: Yup, they will never be little us’s, so we should help to make them the best of themselves we possibly can.

Leonard: I can’t even imagine. I’m not really afraid of getting old, but I do look at the eldest generation in awe and wonder about all they’ve seen. My grandfather passed last year at 99, and I have wondered long minutes away thinking about how the world had changed before his eyes during his lifetime. I realize I digressed, but your comment made me think. Thanks!
