Anas (ra) said, “I have never seen anyone who was more merciful to his children than the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.” In a few words, Anas (ra) describes the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, with his family and children. He ﷺ says to Fatima when she comes to him, “Welcome, my daughter,” then he kisses her and sits her on his right or left. Then, if he fears for his children and grandchildren from envy and the evil eye, he says, “I seek refuge for you in the perfect words of Allah from every devil and pest and from every evil eye.” He also takes care of his children and advises them, saying, “O Fatima, save yourself from the Hellfire, for I do not possess any material thing for you from Allah.” How great is the Messenger when he guides us to teach our children the matters of their Deen, saying, “Teach your children the Salah when they reach the age of seven.” In the days of ignorance, girls were buried alive. He came and said, “Whoever has three daughters and is patient with them, feeds them, gives them drink, and clothes them from his wealth, they will be a shield for him from the Hellfire on the Day of Resurrection.” A fatherhood that never made him forget, and he gives generously. His children, with all this tenderness, directed their attention to the afterlife and to the lofty matters. He would hold them close to his chest, smile at them, and play with them. At the same time, he would not turn a blind eye to any neglect of their affairs regarding the afterlife.
Yes. Indeed in the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, you have an excellent example

الرّسولُ الابُ
مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا كَانَ أَرْحَمَ بِالْعِيَالِ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ بكلمات معدودات يصف أنس رضي الله عنه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مع أهله وعياله يقول عليه الصلاة والسلام لفاطمة عندما تأتيه مرحبا بابنتي ثم يقبلها ويجلسها عن يمينه أو عن شماله في مجلسه ثم إذا خاف على أولاده وأحفاده من الحسد والعين قال أعيذكما بكلمات الله التامة من كل شيطان وهامة ومن كل عين لامة كما ويحرص على أبنائه ويقدم النصح لهم فيقول يا فاطمة أنقذ نفسك من النار فإني لا أملك لكم من الله شيئا وما أعظمه من رسول عندما يرشدنا إلى تعليم أبنائنا أمور دينهم فيقول علموا أولادكم الصلاة إذا بلغوا سبعا وفي جاهلية کانت تئد البنات جاء يقول من كان له ثلاث بنات فصبر عليهم وأطعمهن وسقاهن وكساهن من جدته كن له حجابا من النار يوم القيامة أبوة لم تكن تنسيه وهو يعطي أولاده كل هذا الحنان أن يوجه أنظارهم إلى الآخرة وإلى معالي الأمور فقد كان يضمهم لصدره ويبتسم لهم ويداعبهم وفي الوقت نفسه لم يكن يغض طرفه عن أي إهمال لهم حول شؤون الآخرة نعم لقد كان لكم في رسول الله أسوة حسنة
