Dear BAMBI families,
This month’s issue honors fathers, and for very good reason.
The role of dads has evolved significantly. Gone are the days when fathers were seen solely as breadwinners. Modern dads are actively involved in their children's lives, playing a crucial role in their upbringing. As a wife, I get to witness firsthand the incredible impact my husband has on our children.
My husband has a demanding job that involves a lot of travel during the week, but he consistently makes time for our family when he’s away by talking to our children daily on video calls. Over the weekends, he prioritizes time with them and loves teaching our daughter chess and enjoys taking her swimming, to play areas, and on shopping trips.
Despite his work commitments, we work together to make decisions about our children's upbringing—schools, extracurriculars, classes, planning their birthdays, and more. Sharing these tasks is extremely important, and having a supportive partner makes a world of difference. My husband is always there to listen, offer advice, and provide a shoulder to cry on when needed.
My husband is also a wonderful example for our children. In treating everyone in our household with patience and kindness, he teaches them the importance of honesty and respect for others. His approach to discipline is firm but fair, always giving them the opportunity to solve their problems peacefully. He always encourages them to try new things and cheers them on, no matter how big or small the win. He even teaches them to say things like “I'm strong, I can do it!” to themselves, which boosts their confidence.
To my husband—we are all so grateful for the active, involved, and wonderful father you are. It’s no surprise that our children look up to you with admiration. Thank you for being you.
Turning to BAMBI news now, I’m excited to share that our famous Halloween party will be happening very soon! Have a look at our website and socials for more details. It promises to be a great event for the whole family to join.
We’re also looking for new volunteers to join our team in various roles. Volunteering can be a wonderful way for moms and dads to help shape our organization and spend quality time with their little ones while they do it. Turn to our Call for Volunteers Page for more information, or drop us a line to chat.
With best wishes for a fun month ahead,
Ritika
