While there is nothing quite like a mother’s love for her child, that child’s father is often in the shadows and his impact on that child’s life isn’t as pronounced. We live in a culture that often depicts fathers as second best, distant and sometimes violent. The reality is, that a good father has a profound impact on the growth and development of their children. When a father is taking a hands-on approach to raising his children, the influence he has in their lives is simply irreplaceable. Today, we are here to talk about the important role fathers have in the development of children.
Role of a Father in Child Development
There are numerous studies that have clearly demonstrated the large and key role fathers play in their children’s’ successes. In fact, when the father is playing an active role in his child’s life during the first year, those children show signs of being more curious and explore the world around them much more. When fathers are active in the lives of their children, those children are far less likely to commit crimes and drop out of school.
Importance of Father Involvement
When children feel valued and loved by their father, it gives them a confidence in who they are that is simply irreplaceable. When a child is supported by their father, they have higher self-esteem and aren’t as likely to fall to peer pressure when they are placed in certain social situations. This can have a dramatic impact on the overall quality of a child’s life.
Dads Provide a Different Perspective
Many children lean heavily on their mother to teach them about the world around them. When a child has an active father in their life, it gives them a different perspective that the child simply can’t get from just one parent. There are many different ways that fathers look at the world that varies from the way that a child’s mother might see things. Fathers can teach their children several different life skills that may come easier to them than it does to the other parent.
A Father’s Love for His Son or Daughter
The biggest reason it is important that a child has their father taking an active role in their life is love. When a child is constantly being encouraged and supported by their father, it is an act of love that the child will carry with them throughout his/her life. Just like a child can learn to love by watching his/her mother, the father plays just a role that is just as vital to this important part of life.
