How fathers influence their children?


Fathers play a big role in the healthy development of their children. Having a father can alleviate the chances of depression in children during adolescence, when their likelihood of developing a depressive disorder increase.
Do father’s really influence relationships?
The child’s relationship with his/her dad can influence all of their relationships from childhood to old age, including those with lovers, spouses and friends. The early interaction patterns with the father are the very patterns that the child will take forward into other relationships.
How does it affect a female child?
Girls tend to look for men who are similar to their father. Therefore, if the dad was loving, kind, and gentle, they will look for similar characteristics in other men. Girls will search for, in others, what they experience and become accustomed to in their childhood. Since they’ve gotten used to the historic and familial behavioral patterns, they feel that they will be happier in such relationships.

How does it affect a male child?
Boys will make their fathers their role models. They will work for their approval in almost everything they do, and unconsciously copy behaviors that they recognize as both familiar and successful. Therefore, if a father was controlling, abusive, and dominating, the son is likely to imitate and emulate those patterns. However, in case the father is kind, loving, protective, supportive, the boy will want to be all that.

Humans are social animals who learn through modeling behavior. In fact, every primate learns survival and functioning successfully through social imitation. These patterns of interaction with the father are all children know, and consequentially these patterns effect how they feel about themselves, and the kind of human beings they become. Your little one is vulnerable to your behavior and will incorporate your bad behavioral qualities in their repertoire very quickly.

It is almost impossible to over-value the significance of a father. For instance, girls who share a good relationships with their homeschooling dads are likely to do well in studies, and boys who have fathers that are actively involved tend to perform better and achieve better grades. And boys who are well-bonded develop securely with a sustained and stable sense of self. Therefore, it is important that even those fathers who are separated from their little ones after a separation or divorce, should remain bonded with their offspring. Even though divorce can be extremely traumatizing to girls and boys alike, consistent, strong, and loving fathers can help make the phase easier and successful for everyone.

A father’s true legacy is to ensure good health and well-being of their children.
