Fathers are important in the development of children’s emotional well-being.
Children look to their fathers to lay down the rules and enforce them. They also look to their fathers to provide a feeling of physical and emotional security.
Children want to make their fathers proud. Involved father promote inner growth and strength.
Studies show that when fathers are affectionate and supportive, it greatly affects a child’s cognitive and social development.
Fathers not only influence who we are inside, but also how we have relationships with people as we grow.
The way a father treats his children will influence what they look for in other people. Friends, lovers, and spouses will all be chosen based on how children perceived the meaning of the relationship with their father.
The patterns a father sets in the relationships with his children will dictate how his children relate with other people.
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 daughters will look for those qualities in men when they are old enough to begin dating. If a father is strong and courageous, she will relate closely to men with similar character traits.
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 is 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.
Good fathers are going to be there when it matters, and we know you always will be!
