Why Dad’s love is Different?
It’s not a secret that fathers
are as important as mothers for a healthy child development, and at situations,
even more.
‘Fatherhood is a unique and complex phenomenon, with a massive effect on children’s emotional and intellectual growth’ as per Psychology Today.
The reason behind the statement
by Psychology Today is that the Mother’s love and Father’s love is
qualitatively different. Fathers love dangerously, as their love is more
expectant and instrumental. A father’s role is unique in child’s
development, and regardless of the other factors, the role of a father
cannot be replicated or replaced by any other entity.
There are several ways through
which father’s presence makes a positive difference in a child’s life. Here are
a few to mention;
Fathers parent differently
Fathers carry a unique style of
communication and interaction with their children. There is a difference in the
parenting of a mother and father, and this variety provides children with a
broader and richer experience. Since, both, mothers and fathers have their own
unique way of dealing with their adult life—the sheer experience is critical
for their development.
Fathers are playful
Fathers wrestle, teach how to
throw a ball—they’re playful scary monsters who teach their small children when
‘enough is enough’ and ‘when to stop’. This is how children learn a healthy
balance between aggression and timidity.
Fathers are confidence builder
Fathers teach how to ride bikes
faster, encourage children to go to playgrounds, how to throw like a man;
fathers push the limits of kids to show them the possibility.
This gradual push makes kids
independent and confident. Markedly, this also leads to expand their
experiences and considerably increase their confidence.
