The role of the Father in a child’s life
The first thing I would like to start with in this article is that children love their ♀️mom and ♂️dad equally, despite their different roles in the lives of children. In this aspect, there is no secondary or dominant role, but depending on the situation, they can either come to the fore or recede into the background. In no case should there be competition between father and mother, you should try to act as a single well-coordinated team 💡 But I think you are our readers, conscious people, and if you didn’t know this information for sure, then you guessed it intuitively 😉
And so, let’s talk about the role of a father in a daughter’s life 👧🏻
The main role of the father is that he is a friend, a teacher, an example, but by no means an eternal holiday. Only in the process of daily everyday communication will a father be able to show the child the world of a man. So he will help the girl learn to understand people of the opposite sex.
A father’s involvement in a daughter’s life is crucial, as it helps her develop self-confidence and a positive attitude toward herself. To do this, he must verbally encourage his daughter, respect her feelings and listen to her thoughts, and also take an active interest in her hobbies. This will help her get rid of self-doubt and strengthen her self-confidence.
It is the father who shows the girl what respect and love mean. Using the example of his attitude toward her mother, he demonstrates how a man can relate to women. The daughter sees and remembers how her father communicates with women, no matter how respectfully he does it.
The relationship with her father shapes her perception of what to expect and what is acceptable in a relationship with a romantic partner. Research has shown that mature women meet and build long-term relationships with men who remind them of their fathers.
Fathers are involved in both the financial and physical well-being of girls. The latter consider their dads a symbol of material stability, physical and emotional well-being. The daughter of a caring father is more likely to be healthier and more financially stable, and therefore more successful.
Although fathers are indispensable in the lives of their girls, mothers are no less important to them. They set an example for their daughters on how to behave in relationships with adults and how to care for their children.
If the role of a father in a daughter’s life is so important, then how about the influence of the father’s role on the life of a son 🦸🏻?
For a son, dad is the first and main person to follow. It is the father who sets a positive example of male behavior in certain situations, doing it by his own example, in everyday communication, participating in the purchase of food on weekends, or, for example, if dad cleans the house along with mom. In all cases examples that you will show your son, he will act in the same way in adulthood.
Through communication with the father, the child develops critical thinking, motivation, social skills, autonomy, and independence. Such children grow up to be more empathetic, have better relationships in society, and are much more effective in coping with stress and disappointment.
The fact is that men differ from women in many psychological aspects, in particular in their approach to games, spending free time, etc. Dads love active activities more, they prefer tactile contact to verbal, often games with them are more emotional and dynamic. Many psychologists believe that daddy’s “noisy” play style helps children better explore their emotions.
The role of a father in the upbringing of a son or daughter lies in the quality of time spent with the child. Psychologists advise is to be with the baby from birth and take an active part in his life. At first, it will be walking around the house and on the playground. When the baby grows up, dad can accompany him to kindergarten or school, take him to circles, or various events. It is useful to arrange joint days that the father spends only together with the child. For example, you can go hiking together, play football or any other games, spend a day at an amusement park.
All this forms the boy as a representative of the male community.
And that is why this difficult, responsible, but honorable duty is placed on the shoulders of the pope – to introduce his son into the world of social relations, to teach him to respond like a man to the challenges that life throws, to help him manifest and realize himself as a man. This is one of the main functions of a father in raising a boy – but not the only one 😎
