A TRIBUTE TO FATHERHOOD

Tweet

All these years we have connected child-raising with motherhood. We have experienced and discussed the feelings, woes, and tribulations of a mother. Being a mother, my focus has been on the relationship between a mother and her child. And I would say it is a big mistake that I did not discuss the role of the father in parenting issues. It is not as if I do not acknowledge the role of the father. I am largely my papa's daughter and I really look forward to his words and advice for anything and everything. His constant support and understanding have always kept me going.

                                                    

Parenting is incomplete without a father's love.

Maybe, it has become a tendency to overlook the participation of fathers in child-raising. Father has always been there to give support and love. The only thing is his ways and his participation is different from that of a mother. I remember my mother was scared of sending me to school via bicycle. However, my father instilled confidence in me and I started going to school on a bicycle instead of the school bus. It is a father's vision and strength that helps develop confidence in his child.

As a mother, now, I may speak out my side of the story, about my efforts, troubles, and accomplishments. And it is true; mothers are more vocal about their life, their efforts, and hardships. But in no way, it can take away the efforts, the silent support, and affection of a father for the kids. His wise words and strong hands are always there to show the right way to kids.

While raising our two adorable kids, so many times my husband showed the way, boosted the confidence of the children, and helped to overcome several milestones. His presence and keenness to connect with the family in every possible way have created a lively atmosphere at home.                                                              

                     

If you also feel the same as me and understand the need to acknowledge fatherhood, then it is time to become vocal about their contribution to bringing up the kids. Call your dad to acknowledge him and encourage your kids too to acknowledge their father as well.
