How important is a father to his children?

Generally, there are differences in the occupations of men and women, which leads to the division of labor in many families where men work outside and women work inside. Therefore, when it comes to children's education, women can do a little more than men, and men generally rarely accompany their children's growth. In fact, in the process of children's growth, fathers play a very important role in the children's growth. Fathers will directly influence the children's personality, outlook on life and values.

Influence - Father influences the formation of children's personality

It is not difficult to find that many boys who lack fatherly love since childhood lack what we usually call masculinity when they grow up. This is because in their growth process, only the role of mother appears, and the gentleness, carefulness and patience of most mothers subtly influence their children. Due to the differences in gender, fathers tend to influence their children with their inherent masculine characteristics, such as independence, aggressiveness, cooperation, and self-confidence. Their enthusiasm, generosity, courage to take risks and persistence make children imitate and learn from them unconsciously. This, combined with the gender characteristics that the child gains from the mother, such as caring for others, compassion, gentleness, and kindness, forms a more complete personality foundation for the child.

The influence of the third father can have a greater impact on the cultivation of children's sense of responsibility. As a qualified father, he shoulders too many responsibilities. As a child grows up, a sense of responsibility permeates all aspects, including family responsibilities, learning responsibilities, social responsibilities, collective honor, personal honor and many other aspects. A father is an idol and a hero in the eyes of his children. So his words and deeds, as well as his sense of responsibility in doing things, will inevitably affect the formation of his children's sense of responsibility. If a child cannot receive positive influence from his father in terms of family responsibilities, then his responsibilities in learning will inevitably be affected. If the father does not pay attention to the cultivation of a sense of responsibility, for example, in the division of family responsibilities, if the father does not pay attention to this aspect, the child will not know what he should do, and the direct consequence will be that he will just sit there and wait for everything to be done.

Influence of the four fathers on the development of children's social skills

Fathers' participation in children's upbringing and interaction with their children also plays an extremely important role in meeting children's social needs and improving their social skills. Due to the heavy burden of housework and her personality, my mother does not have as much free time and opportunities to socialize as my father does. As children grow up, learn to talk and walk, and become more independent and able to take care of themselves, their need to interact with the outside world increases. They demand to expand the scope and content of their interactions and are no longer satisfied with the previous ways and circles of interaction. Therefore, fathers become important playmates for their children, expanding their social scope, enriching their social content, and meeting their social needs.

We have seen too many fathers in our lives who rarely educate their children or even become hands-off bosses, leaving all the education issues to the mothers because the fathers are busy with work, do not realize the importance of fathers to their children's education, or for some other reasons. Then, as the children grow up, they develop bad qualities such as lack of self-confidence, poor social skills, lack of sense of responsibility, arrogance, and violent and rebellious behavior.
