There is no doubt that mothers play a vital role in the lives of their children. They are obvious heroes in raising children. But what about my father's role? How important are earthly fathers to the image of the almighty mother? My belief is that fathers play a very important role as mothers. The exception, of course. Perhaps not as a nurturing, not as a whole sacrifice but as very important in the growth and soul of the child.
Fathers are a solid foundation for our lives. This is the beach where we swim when our arms and legs feel even more tired. They are the strength we rely on as we take our first steps to try in the world. Dads can be tender, tough, weak or strong but perhaps the simplest love we will ever know.
1. EARLY FATHERS HAVE A SPECIAL IMPACT ON THE FUTURE OF THEIR CHILDREN. The father involved has been linked to better outcomes in almost every aspect of a child's life, from mental development and educational attainment to self-confidence and social behavior.1 % are less likely to be suspended or expelled from school, twice as likely to go to college and get a stable job after high school, 75% are less likely to give birth, and 80% are less likely to spend some time in prison.2 Share the figures shown for Our Fathers Make a great infographic difference.
2. FAMILIES ARE CONFIRMED BY SUPPORTING FATHERS. Providing services and programs aimed at enhancing good parenting skills, appropriate discipline, effective communication, emotional support, and stress management can have two effects, reducing the risk of child abuse and increasing protection. As a result, not only do children have a reduced risk of abuse, but they can also benefit from the involvement of a direct father.
