Small Wins Add Up

Vince Lombardi once said, "The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary." That applies to fatherhood just as much as football.

If you want a strong relationship with your kids, it takes work—there are no shortcuts.

So, next time you're in the trenches of parenting, remember: greatness is built through consistency.
