The Importance of Fatherhood and Helping Kids Thrive The Importance of Fatherhood and Helping Kids Thrive According to the U.S. Census Bureau, over 19 million children, or more than 1 in 4 children, live without a father in the home. Do you ever think about how important dads and father figures are in our lives? Well, let’s talk about it!
The CDC indicates that research has largely focused on mothers. However, recent findings suggest that fathers may parent in ways that differ from mothers, and therefore represent an additional opportunity to support the health and well-being of their teens—separate from the influence of mothers. Father’s and father-figures play a big role in children’s lives and its super important.
Here’s why: 1. Love and Support: Dads show love and support to their kids in many ways. Offering hugs, encouragement, and support day in and out.
Knowing that dads and father figures are there can make kids feel safe and happy. 2. Teaching Life Skills: Dads can teach lots of things children need to grow up.
This can include riding a bike, fixing a car, or helping with homework. Dads can help children feel independent. 3.
Being a Role Model: Dads and male role models can be viewed as heroes. They can teach children about hard work, honesty and support discipline. Learn more tips by visiting AFIRM .
