Understanding the Role of a Father

What it does mean to be a good father starts with the concept of who you are and what part you play in the child’s life. A father is not merely somebody who brings home the bacon, but a defender, a teacher, and a buddy. In order to do this I must accept the challenge of being the constant loving pillar of support. I am talking about being involved in my child’s life starting from when he learned how to walk until now. I need to listen to them, feel with them, know their story while being strong for them. Therefore, my simple presence in their lives assures them that they are significant, and loved unconditionally. Sometimes it is not about being a good father but about being willing and trying hard, making mistakes and growing with the child.

Building a Foundation of Love and Respect

To individuals, responsibility for building a strong and warm family atmosphere is one of the key aspects of what is considered good fathering. Men learn about relationships and trust from their female counterparts specifically the parent’s side. My desire is to create a home that my child feels secure and accepted regardless of the circumstances. This includes kissing, hugging, complimenting their work or encouraging them to achieve their goal. There is also the issue of respect – I want to be able to listen to my child and take them seriously, whatever their gender. From this, I can educate them concerning the manner in which one should deal with other people so as to spare them mistreatment and unfair dismissals. When I love and respect my child, he or she, in turn, learns to respect himself or herself and others.

Practicing Patience and Consistency

Evidently, fathers’ success in their parenting duties relies on two main virtues, patience and consistency. Kids are bound to transgress and err as they mature and that is why I need to be a supportive when they get it wrong. As noted in the beginning of this paper, screaming or responding angrily only strengthens the creation of an environment of fear. Instead, I would like to tackle each issue with as much composure as possible and suggest positive changes and teach my child the lesson. Punctuality and organisation to my personality is also a must because it makes them feel safe and secure that I won’t betray their trust. Therefore, by themselves guidelines for what is acceptable and what is not acceptable while ensure that they feel loved and fairly punished, they shall know better and learn how to be disciplined.

Fostering Open Communication

A father and the child are connected by a communication channel. This presupposes that we can maintain a positive and non-judgmental discussion with the child and that the child can choose to express himself/herself or not. To do this, I need to listen to them, with no distractions, criticism or interruptions. When faced with such engagement, students are likely to warm up when asked generic questions about their lives. It also makes me free to show or tell about my emotions and stories which make me and others real persons. Besides, I introduce my child to proper communication and, thus, contribute to enhancing their relationships with other people.

Embracing Growth and Learning

On this show, this is the part where the learning never stops and he becomes a good father. There is nothing as a perfect parent, and I for one was never taught how to parent. I have to accept constructive criticism from my child, my partner, or any other parent. It is possible to get useful information from books, attending the workshops, or consulting a specialist. Lastly, I have to be very self-correcting oriented since am dealing with a child and his or her needs change as grows up. When approaching this path with the right attitude-I can always work to become the kind of father that my child needs: supportive, caring and active.
