Until not long ago it was had in mind that the role of parenting was absolutely that of the mother. The father, a more severe figure and more emotionally distanced from the children, seemed to work well, but the reality is that this has only caused great deficiencies in the children, now as adults. Emotional deficiencies that could have been avoided with a different management of parenting.
Parents have always had and still have a great role in raising their children. They are necessary for the little ones to have a stable emotional development. Fortunately, it seems that this is beginning to change and that families are beginning to realize the importance of both parents (equally in the education of their children).
The change in parenting
In the old days and with a macho and obsolete thinking of many people, it was believed that the correct thing was for the man to take the money home and for the woman to take care of the house and the children, vetoing all their capacity as woman and person. This, This is no longer the case and it should not be in many parts of our world today. Women entering the world of work have forced families to restructure their roles and, furthermore, society realizes the importance of men and women in raising children.
It is not surprising that in many current households the woman is the only figure who contributes money to the household and that the man is the one who takes care of the house and the children ... And this, of course, will not detract from his virility, more well the opposite. A man who knows how to take care of his children, his home, his partner, who goes out to work, who knows the importance of his figure in the lives of his children ... Without a doubt he is a man with all the letters who cares about the well-being of your family.
The role of the father in raising children
Raising children is one of the most formidable tasks a parent will ever have, it is the most important part of their life. It's difficult but It is the most beautiful thing you will ever know. Children are the best gift for parents, and watching them grow and influence their development is the best privilege parents can have. That is why parents should take into account the importance of their affective-emotional relationship with their children. Parents can help them have a successful life.
If a father collaborates properly in the development of his children, then they can grow and live responsibly, they can become successful adults.
Parents should not support the mother at any time, that is, they have the same responsibility as the mother in raising children in all aspects. Parents, like the mother, must take care of their children, offer them security in their development, transmit values and set limits. Fathers and mothers should be on the same path in the education of their children, so that children see coherence and unconditional support in their parents.
The father is and will always be a figure of support and security for his children, something that will undoubtedly interfere directly in the personality of the children, in the confidence they have in themselves and in the world around them. Children need to have a good relationship with their parents to develop in the world. They will need to share quality time daily with their parents, have a safe space where they can feel protected and loved unconditionally.
With authority, but without fear
The roles have changed in the father figure. Until not long ago it was thought that having authority in the lives of the children was that they felt fear when the father spoke. But fear does not educate, nor does it promote good authority, moreover, it is worrying how this fear interacts negatively in the lives of children. On many occasions it continues to occur that the figure of the father is limited to putting order with fear, this being a family dynamic that is still practiced ...
Fortunately, This radical vision of fatherhood begins to change and to have an adequate vision for the proper development of children. Parents understand that fear does not educate and furthermore, authority can only be achieved through love and understanding of children's needs. Firmness is not accompanied by yelling and bad manners, since the latter only shows weakness and not knowing how to do when being raised.
Household chores are distributed indistinctly between mothers and fathers, something that will undoubtedly benefit children enormously. Parents now take into account the daily care of children, in their physical care but also in their emotional development. Family tasks do not have to do with the gender of the parents but with the proper development of the children, because they are the first thing for any father or mother.
The value of the father
Yes, the father has great value in the development of children and in addition, his figure can have a great impact on the development of the personality of both his sons and daughters. A parent who is emotionally distant or who is not involved in the education of their children will leave a great emotional void in the lives of their children, causing them to suffer and become insecure and prone to anxiety.
The fortune is that parents are increasingly aware of the importance they have in the development of their children, that they must go hand in hand with mothers, that both have the same weight in the upbringing and education of their children , from the moment children are born and are in your arms for the first time.
