Some fathers might think that a relationship with a son has a lot to do with the son’s age. While this is true to a certain extent, it is often blown way out of proportion. Your relationship with your son is similar to any other type of relationship. If you’re married, then you know where this is going. To put it simply, and without having to get all wishy-washy, if you put in the effort, you will see results.
Brief History of Fathers Day
The history of Father’s Day does not have a definitive beginning. Long before it became a national holiday, the need to express the love and admiration of fathers was being celebrated in a variety of ways.
Keys of Being a Father
The Keys to Being a Good Father are relatively simple, but that does not necessarily make them easy to follow. Many men overlook these keys or just don’t understand what is expected of them when they become a parent for the first time. It has often been said that men can be rather child-like in their actions, such as with a strong propensity for video games or a love of various electronic gadgets and “toys”, and while this can help create a bond with children (because they may enjoy the same kinds of activities), this can also be where a father gets into trouble when it comes to matters of parenthood because this type of man may not meet a child’s needs. Enjoying video games and gadgets is not necessarily a bad thing, but overindulgence here, as with anything else, is not a good idea. On the other hand, those who are not interested in childish things are often too grown up to allow the children to be children, which can create an emotional barrier between father and child.
Why Girls Need Their Dads
All children need a male role model in their lives. Dads are the best role models a child can have. There are many important reasons for men being present in their children’s lives. According to Getting Men Involved: The Newsletter of the Bay Area Male Involvement Network, (Spring 1997), children in fatherless homes are more likely to commit suicide, run away from home, exhibit behavioral disorders, commit crime, drop out of high school, become involved with chemical abuse, and are less likely to attend college.
