Dear Dad,

Great dads celebrate their wards. I deserve celebration dad. I may not have achieved so much  but the lot I have achieved is so much for your celebration. I deserve some picnic treats, and some nice gifts. I deserve to be treated like a king sometimes dad, especially when I have performed well in any task I have undertaken.

When you celebrate me, you spur me towards achieving more. I acknowledge the fact that you acknowledge that and I do feel a sense of belonging in associating with you. Growing up in our kind of society today could be very challenging. The society is becoming increasingly complex dad, and for today's children, we have to go through enormous challenges. Dad, I will do well when I realize you acknowledge my challenges and my success at overcoming them.

Some dads are of the opinion that when they celebrate their wards, it could go into their heads and they may act in contrary ways to what they had been heralded. This is not often true dad. Research has shown that children tend to do better when they are heralded. They often want to show that what they have done is no fluke.

Experience has shown that children from homes where they are celebrated often stand a better chance of coming through life as achievers. They often have their eyes sight at the reward because they know there is a reward for hardwork.

When you celebrate me, you give me many reasons to celebrate you. I see a necessity to do just the way I have seen you do. You are teaching me there is joy obtained from celebrating each other and the gain is the good development of the family.

I should be your number one celebrity. You have to raise me towards being a person you can look up to and be proud to be a father. All your best wishes you want should be seen in me. All the qualities you celebrate in other persons, you have to strive to see that I also develop those qualities that you can celebrate about them.

There is real beauty in having children who can celebrate you and you in turn celebrate them. Such bond is cherishing and you sure want that strong bond between you and me.

Find that good reason for a celebration, and find it in me!

With Love

 Your son.
