the importance of dad to us

Why is dad important to us?. Whether you had a dad or did not have a dad is also an important point in how you look at your life. our dad may have been at work a great deal of time and was not an active participant in your daily life of school, homework, or sports or he may have been a weekend dad because of divorce or an absent dad because of death or other reasons. Either way you look at it, whether you had a dad or not his presence or absence had an impact on your upbringing and how you view life.

Hopefully, when you reach the stage in your life when you too are a dad you will be able to spend time with your child, in both his or her daily life as well as during the important times. You will be an active participant, not just a disciplinarian. This is because it has been shown that women and men parent in different ways.

When a mom interacts with her child she tends to give instructions and to play games in different ways than a dad. A mom will explain the best way to accomplish something with explicit instructions using a great deal of words. A dad on the other hand will show his or her child a task and allow the child to work out the best way to accomplish the goal. These two different methods of teaching help the child to determine the best way to do something.

When a child and a mom play together they will more likely play conventional games. They may play cards, board games, peek-a-boo and other games that are structured. Mothers regulate play so that it does not become rough or out of control. When dad plays all of these considerations go out the window. A dad is more likely to play a game of rough housing or wrestling. He is more likely to allow the child to take risks than a mother would not. A good example of this would be at the playground. Nine times out of ten you will here moms saying, "don't climb too high! Be careful, slow down!" At the same time a dad will say, "hey, how high can you go?

Because of these reasons and many more it is good for a dad to spend time with his children. A dad allows the child to take more chances and in turn the child is able to test his or her limits both physically and mentally. It is mom's role to teach the child when enough is enough. In the end the style of the mother and father balance themselves, giving the child a broad base of knowledge.

Dad is always a hero in every kids live. Dad train his child in the way he should go and when he is old , he will not depart from it.
always appriciate your dad and let him know how much you love him because once his gone you can never let him know.
