The head coach of the Montenegrin women's handball national team, Dragan Adžić, told "Život" that, considering the role of a father to be the most important in life, he decided at the age of 40 to form a family and to realize himself as a parent. He has two sons: David is two years old, and Teodor is three months old.

"I belong to those fathers who spend all their free time with their family, trying to ensure that their sons grow up in the love and attention of both parents."

About what his biggest fears are as a parent, he says that he tries not to think about bad things so as not to attract them, especially when it comes to family.

"Health is a prerequisite for everything, so even a low temperature creates great anxiety for me, but we do everything to ensure that our children get everything they need in terms of nutrition and health."

When asked what values ​​he tries to pass on to his children, he answers that in today's modern times it is the most difficult thing to teach children to respect the right values.

"Given that I worked a lot with children, I saw that the great effort of parents and dedication to children still pays off even today".

He states that he was brought up to respect elders, to be humble, hardworking, persistent and humane.

"So I will try to make sure that my sons also adopt some of these values".

When it comes to raising boys and girls, Dragan says that, if he had a daughter, he would not make a difference in the relationship and upbringing, "because in today's time of full emancipation of girls, you should prepare your children to respect themselves equally, whether they are boys or girls ".

About the most difficult period so far when it comes to parenting, he says that his sons are small and he believes that the smaller they are, the fewer problems there are.

"However, it doesn't seem that way to us parents until a certain period of childhood has passed. The most difficult period for us was the arrival of our younger son Teodoro, because David was too young to accept his arrival in the right way2.

He points out that with great attention to both of them, they manage to overcome the small gap between the two children. He states that if he is not traveling or training, he is with his children and wife.

"It makes me fulfilled".

He says he is glad to see more fathers spending time with their children.

"Only in this way will we have emotionally stable people who will know how to cope with all the big challenges of growing up today", adding that this is exactly his message to other parents - to spend as much time as possible with their children.

He emphasizes that, in order for children to grow up into stable and mature personalities tomorrow, they should have both parents at every stage of their upbringing and great respect between their parents, because this all reflects on their particularly vulnerable emotional stability.
