A father is every son’s first hero and every daughter’s first love. That, in itself, is proof that your father is an awesome person and he deserves a medal. He brought you into this world and has done everything in his power to make your life better. He has kept the family together and stayed strong against all odds.

We always feel a child requires the mothers more, fathers are equally important. Fathers and mothers, both are two important pillars in the development of a child’s emotional well-being. How often do we say ‘I Love You’ to our fathers??  We need to tell them as we tell our mothers too.father

Fathers are said to set the foundations of a home. Children look to their fathers to lay down the rules and enforce them. They also look to their fathers to provide a feeling of security, both physical and emotional. Children want to make their fathers proud, and an involved father promotes inner growth and strength. Studies show that if your child’s father is affectionate, supportive, and involved, he can contribute greatly to your child’s cognitive, language, and social development, as well as academic achievement, a strong inner core resource, sense of well-being, good self-esteem, and authenticity.

The importance of a father’s involvement cements the role of a father in the family, given that the responsibilities of a father at home is not limited to making provisions. The responsibilities of a father at home extends way beyond financial security, the responsibilities of a father at home includes setting the proper emotional tone as well.

Fathers and their daughters

Young girls depend on their fathers for security and emotional support. A father shows his daughter what a good relationship with a man is like. If a father is loving and gentle, his daughter will look for those qualities in men when she’s old enough to begin dating. If a father is strong and valiant, she will relate closely to men of the same character.

Fathers and their sons

Unlike girls, who model their relationships with others based on their father’s character, boys model themselves after their father’s character. Boys will seek approval from their fathers from a very young age. As human beings, we grow up by imitating the behavior of those around us; that’s how we learn to function in the world. If a father is caring and treats people with respect, the young boy will grow up much the same. When a father is absent, young boys look to other male figures to set the “rules” for how to behave and survive in the world.
