About Dr David Andrews
Dr. David Andrews is the dean of John Hopkins Educational School and a lecturer in three academic institutions and also a prolific author. Among his current books is the book "My Father's Day Gift", which explains the impact of good and meaningful father-child relationships.
While it's true that fathers dedicate a big part of their lives working to earn an income in an aggressive working environment, their major influential role on children growth should never be overlooked.
While fathers are often preoccupied with the business of making a living in today's highly competitive workplace, the importance of fathers should not be underestimated. A father plays an essential role in child raising, teaching children how they should behave with other children, and providing masculine care, guidance and feedback on many aspects of human life.
When raising sons, fathers can show them proper ways to embrace their manhood like being well-mannered and being aware of the needs of others-not harassing them or being inconsiderate. When raising daughters, they can show them how to have meaningful relationships with men.
If a father is absent, either as a result of a premature death or divorce, single mothers should find other male role models, like uncles or grandfathers, or other relatives, to help positively influence their kids. In the absence of this, many mentoring programs provide children with male roles models. These can also be very effective role models.
When Lon asked what a father can do to influence their children, Dave offered a brief list:
-Fathers should be committed to creating meaningful relationships with the children they raise.
--Fathers should collaborate with the mother of their children or caregivers and maintain clearly defined and steady communication with their children.
--Fathers should create the right structure in the home.
--Fathers should enforce restrictions, if necessary, for guarding their children's well-being and maturing.
--Fathers should be involved in the life of their children, including participating in sports activities, academics, reading aloud, and art projects. It is these kinds' interactions that build a solid relationship with their children.
Fathers who engaged with their children had a long-lasting impact on their children's lives. In fact, the importance of fathers was often appreciated long after their children had grown up and become parents themselves.
