What is he like — a modern Superdad?

What should a modern dad be like? What makes him the best for his child? Who are the modern Super Dads, and what qualities do they possess? In this article, we’ll try to answer these and other questions.

Spider-Man once said, «With great power comes great responsibility.» This quote has been repeated thousands of times, and it fits perfectly for men who have young children. And not just because dads are responsible for new life. The truth is, they are our superheroes. All kids believe their dads are omnipotent: they can run faster than the famous athlete Usain Bolt, lift heavy objects like the Hulk, and even have eyes on the back of their heads. That’s why the #SuperDad campaign, celebrating our “everyday” superheroes, is becoming increasingly popular online.
