Share- Role of Father in Raising a Child
Continue reading to understand more about the father’s role…!
Many people agree with me, parents are those who play an
important role in the overall development of their children. Both father and
mother play an equally important role in their children’s life. Anyone can be a
father to their child but being a dad is something magical in their life. No
matter whether the child is a boy or a girl, the father is a role model for
them. Every boy thinks that he wants to become like a daddy and each girl
thinks that her father is the smartest and handsome man in the world. Kids always
enjoy spending time together with their dad – not just when they are kids, but
even after becoming adults too.
What is Involved Father?
An involved father is the one who is answerable for all the behavior
towards the child including – emotionally occupied, physically accessible, and
providing support in the child’s need. Father always tries to do their best for
their children. The most important aspect of dad’s contribution to their
children is different parenting styles because mom’s parenting style is
completely different from dad's. Sometimes dad's parenting style works well in
their children’s life.
Father always welcomes their child to take up risks in their
life. He physically and mentally prepares them to take up the challenges in
their life. He provides different options and suggestions to deal with any kind
of problems in their life. He also pays attention to their academics,
communication skills, and physical development.

Are Dad’s as important as Mom’s
Simply yes. The love, care, support from the father is very
important for a child’s mental health and social well-being. How much a dad is
involved in their children’s lives and how much they both interact with one another
gives numerous changes in children’s life including:
--> Dad teaches
to solve the problems differently which results in them used to think twice or
thrice before taking any decision and approaching differently any problems
-->They build
their ability to take up any new initiatives
--> Children’s
with actively involved fathers will experience less depression, distress, and
therefore the negative feeling
-->They perform
well in academics and develop their communication skills. Of course, they have
better social skills.
Father’s importance in Child’s Growth
1. He Improves Confidence
Father, who is focused on their child’s emotional health. By
interacting, help your child to understand how much you valued and loved them.
Children with supportive fathers are likely to be happier and they have high
self-confidence.
2. He gives a different View
Usually, children are loaded with a bundle of questions.
However, father and mother both approach those questions differently. Active
parents with different parenting styles help kids to create their capability in
problem-solving and therefore the ability of thinking. Father always features a
unique parenting style including – he shares his view on life, and teaching
different life-handling skills to face the challenges in life.
3. He makes you feel Secure
The support, love, care, and affection from your father give
you a secure feeling and high self-confidence. While growing, children face a
lot of struggles in their life. In all the tough times, a dad gives a strong
and supportive hand to face all the struggles.
4. He makes you believe in Yourself
When a father spends time together with their children, he
tries to motivate and encourage them to follow their goals, passion, and give
support to do their activity on their own. Always he will be there on your side
to achieve your dream.
5. He prepares you to face Real Life
Reality is not always like how we would like it to be. As we
all know, mom always tries to guard her children against any kind of struggles
as much as possible, but dad is quite different he always encourages his
children to explore and to learn how to overcome all those struggles. He knows
well when to be strict with them and he also helps their children to learn
different skills which will be needed in their future.
Father’s involvement in different stages of Children’s
1. Father and New Born Baby
Usually, babies easily get attached to their parents and they
expect constant attention from them. Generally, a mom provides emotional
stability whereas a dad provides security and more physical attention. When a
baby cries, he does the essential care like feeding and changing diapers. By
doing these things the baby easily gets attached to him and of course, the baby
feels his dad’s comfort. Babies who grow old with actively involved parents
especially with fathers are more likely to be well-personalized, active, have high
self-confidence, high self-control, and at last successful individuals.
2. Father and Toddler
In the toddler stage, dad plays a role called guide because
the curiosity level in children will be more to explore new things. Dads who
help their kids to explore and learn all those things besides with he set
boundaries to limit them. Usually, at this stage mom will be busier with
household chores, planning and preparing a meal for the family, and many
others. So obviously dad turns into a playtime partner for their children.
He always teaches and encourages them to be more confident
and strong enough to solve their own problems. He helps them to understand
their strengths and weakness. He also helps them to improve their
problem-solving ability and also helps them to build their emotional and social
bond in the way both personally and socially.
3. Father and School-going Children,
Adolescence
Once children are started going to school he or she may
face a lot of challenges – dad always supports and encourages them to face all
those challenges in their life and also helps them to succeed in that.
At this stage, dad support and allow them to be more
independent and confident to take any new decision for their life. Father’s
involvements in teens lessen the risk of mental health problems including –
actively involved father raise his boy with fewer behavioral problems and girls
with fewer psychological problems.
Children of any age observe, learn, and behave the way of
their parents doing particularly they follow their father's behavior exactly.
So, parents always are cautious in front of children. Children who grow old with
actively involved parents are likely to be more confident, intelligent, and
emotionally secure than others.
Final Thought
As we all know, moms are completely related to love, care,
affection and protection whereas dad encourages them to take up risks, to
explore and learn new things, take up the opportunity, to overcome all the
struggles, and to stand on themselves. These skills make their children be bold
and strong enough to face the real world.
A father’s role is not just being head of the family. His role is never done even after their children become adult, he or she still
address their father to urge an opinion or advice, and also they expect his or
her father to give a solution for their problems. His involvement improves
their overall development.
