The Father Of A Million Children

Fathers play a vital role in children’s lives. They help in the emotional development of a child and also build social skills. They give their children emotional security by playing the protector’s role; they educate their children, inculcate important values, discipline, and manners. They act as friends to their children, play catch and share gossip; they counsel them, train them, etc. A child always tries to copy his father’s interactions in society, which ultimately decides his own social interaction patterns. An involved father plays a crucial part in the cognitive, behavioral, and general health and well-being areas of a child’s life.

The absence of such a pivotal figure in a child’s life can alter their life’s direction altogether. They can grow up to become emotionally vulnerable individuals and sometimes even bullies. American YouTube video creator, Rob Kenney felt this gap in his life since the age of 14 when his father abandoned him and his seven siblings, and he had no guiding hand on his path to adulthood. Rob knows first-hand what it feels to be all alone without that doting shelter on his head and was solely raised by his mother. When his own marriage was in jeopardy, he sought out answers in the Almighty, which led him to forgive his father upon his death in the 80s ultimately and have a successful marriage of 29 years where he brought up two well-adjusted adults. After going through his childhood ordeal, Rob felt sympathetic for kids who have lost their parents or had absent parents and thought that he should give something back to them. His kids had all grown up, and he had a lot of free time on his hands, especially during the lockdown, and he realized that he still possessed a lot of wisdom, learning, and insight on useful tools that can help such kids.

Hence, this devoted father started a YouTube channel called ‘Dad How Do I?” through which he shares tips on essential everyday activities, right from tying a tie knot to changing a flat tire to unclogging a sink. He wanted to pass on the wisdom of doing everyday tasks through his channel to encourage people. This simple endeavor has resonated with the common public in a very emotional way. His practical tips have touched his audience in the most positive way, an audience that is now 2.81 million strong and ever-growing. He has reached out to share these simple DIY tasks with many people so much that his heartfelt ‘Thank You’ video notched up 1.7 million views!

Despite becoming a YouTube sensation with his daily tips and tricks videos, Kenny remains humble and maintains that his tips are not the best out there in the webspace. He emphasizes the importance of seeking forgiveness and the need to be kind to each other. His dad-like positivity, practicality, and care have left an impression on many people on the internet and has re-iterated the importance of father figures in one’s life. This kind American man is now father to over 2.8 million people and keeps on bringing smiles to their faces with Dad How Do I? and joy to their lives!
