The Great Role of the Father - Dad - Papa!!!

The Great Role of the Father - Dad - Papa!!!

How do I start and what should I write first about this incredible figure of the family that has been so unjustly treated and especially nowadays where so little is written about him and he is not honored as he deserves.

The role of the Father has fundamentally changed from the very ancient years when his role was indeed dynamic within the family, but more distant in terms of child rearing, which was entirely the responsibility of the mother.

Later, this changed gradually due to various reasons and we reached the decades of the 1980s until today where the role of the father is as important as that of the Mother.

The Paternal role is an important pillar for the family structure and has great significance for its proper development. The Father is often recognized as the head, protector, and leader of the family, having a distinct role that differs from that of the Mother.

He may not carry the child, but he is the one who waits to hear the baby's first cry and immediately starts staying up all night, helping and supporting the mother in her work.

His role is important because while the Mother takes care to provide love and care to the child, the father, along with love and care, instills in the child the feeling of security; he is considered and is the protector of the family.

The Father is a ROLE MODEL, he has a great impact on his children by offering them a sense of strength and security. These elements make the children grow up to form a more integrated personality, resulting in them feeling stronger and more certain about themselves with greater self-confidence, something that is evident from their early years in school.

A Father has many responsibilities within the family, he teaches his children the value of respect, ethics, responsibility, and faith. The Father who plays an important role in the upbringing of children helps them develop skills to face and overcome the challenges and difficulties of life.

The role of the Father is particularly important for the Father himself. He gives him a goal, a purpose, and a sense of fulfillment, responsibility, and happiness. Today we see fathers taking care of their children more than anyone else.

Overall, the Paternal role is a critical factor for the well-being and proper development of the family. A Father teaches values, supports, provides stability, and promotes the autonomy of his children. Fatherhood is a unique and invaluable gift that a man can offer to his family, making the Father an irreplaceable factor for the happiness and well-being of his loved ones.

In conclusion, I want to emphasize how important it is to have both the Mother and the Father in the family.

For the closing, I would like to emphasize how important it is to have both a Mother and a Father in the family for the PROPER development of children.

That is why I kindly ask you, Mothers, not to emasculate or belittle the Paternal figure either within the family or outside (in case of separation).

It is a matter of principle and development for all members of a PROPER Family!
