Shaquille O'Neal's Role as a Father

 

In recent times, Shaquille O'Neal has spoken about being a father and making sure you provide for your kids, defend them at all costs when they need it, and above giving everyone unconditional love.

His parenting style is one of tough love what with wanting his kids to “work as hard for everything we have” and in a prior PEOPLE interview back in October.

Shaq is not shy about spoiling his kids with gifts, because he says there's a lot of money coming in and joked that he's the "made-up version of Santa" -- calling himself Shaq-a-Claus during an interview... but it seems they rage pretty hard too!

Of course, Shaq mentions his zeal for hard work and expects the same from his kids who must show him something concrete to share their business ideas.

His desire for them to be responsible, as well as their entrepreneurial instincts, is illustrated through this approach.

Shaquille O'Neal has a strong bond with his children, which he tries to convey through public appearances and interviews.

His son Myles, who he's been able to bond with thanks in part to their mutual interests like DJing and finding ways which Scott has then used throughout the world.

Shaquille O'Neal doing this for all of his kids in sports, academics, or any profession cements how supportive he is as a parent.

So, to wrap it all up — Shaquille O'Neal has six kids, and two of his children are grown now and have their careers with unique skill sets. And no one will ever doubt him being a present father, due in large part to how he is around his kids and the values that he instills in them.
Dedicated dad Shaquille O'Neal was able to balance his successful career and fatherhood, paving the way for them as well as many others with his genuine passion when it comes to family.
