One father has gone to great lengths to bond with his daughters and has gotten attention for it.
Children, while growing up, will explore and try out many different sports and activities. Playing little league, soccer, basketball and football are some of the more popular things children do. Parents may enjoy their children's chosen activities. Unfortunately, there will be other things kids want to do that mom and dad hate with a burning passion.
However, for one father, his children weren’t interested in soccer or basketball. His two daughters wanted to cheer. So, being a loving, caring and attentive parent, Michael dove headfirst into the competitive world of cheerleading.
Michael and his two daughters – Annabelle and Josie – appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show, where they talked about their dad supporting their interest and love of cheerleading. Videos even show Michael learning and performing the cheers with his daughters!
Michael explained that his daughters got involved in cheerleading a couple of years ago and he has since come to love and appreciate the sport.
“I taught myself how to teach them how to do cheers,” Michael said. “Every day we’ll go outside, we’ll stunt in the front yard. I’ll help them with their tumbling, and it’s really been a bonding experience between all three of us.”
Annabelle confessed that Michael has come a long way and is getting better at the sport.
“He’s getting better every time I teach him because when we stunt in the yard and work on our flexibility,” she said. “And he’s a great dad.”
Josie mentioned that Michael is a supportive and dedicated father who never misses one of her cheer competitions.
What a terrific example of an incredible and loving father! Those two young girls will remember for the rest of their lives the memories their father created with them while cheering.
