HAPPY FATHER’S DAY 2023!
A mother’s love is important and special, but having an active father figure plays an equally important role in the healthy development of a child.
Fathers provide guidance, wisdom and a strong foundation. They impart valuable life lessons, share insights and serve as mentors, helping to shape their children’s professional and personal success. Their support and unique perspectives help us navigate challenges and maintain work-life balance while striving for excellence.
As a result, children with more involved fathers tend to have fewer behavioral and impulse control problems, longer attention spans and a higher level of sociability. These children also tend to be more compassionate and generous, with an increased awareness of the needs and rights of others.
The emotional support provided by a father to his child is a priceless gift. By helping kids to understand how much they are valued and loved, children with supportive fathers are more likely to have high self-esteem and are generally happier and more confident. They also demonstrate a greater tolerance for stress/frustration, less hesitation/fear in new situations and an increased ability to resist peer pressure and stand up for themselves.
It’s the most obvious thing to say, but that doesn’t make it any less important, having an active father makes a child feel loved! Having dad as a steady source of love and encouragement helps ensure that children grow up happy and healthy, with high self-esteem. Being active fathers is one of the most important things that men can do for their children.
Hurray to all the great fathers! You are needed, wanted, and loved by your children!
