It has even been scientifically proven that the role of the father in a child’s life is no less important than that of the mother. We offer some interesting tips on how to win the status of “Best Dad” for your baby. 1. Love and respect the mother of your children. The first key to the full development and upbringing of a child is mutual support and understanding of parents. If a child sees that his mother and father value each other, she more clearly feels her value in the family. And respect in the family teaches the child to respect others. 2. Spend time with your children. Children are very sincere, and for them actions are much more important than words. Try to set aside as much time as possible to spend with your baby. Because if parents are always busy, then children feel abandoned, unimportant, unnecessary. No matter how hard you try to prove them otherwise.3. Talk to your children. Often, in the whirlpool of daily affairs, dad intervenes only in those situations when the child has done something wrong. Then the father, like his voice, is associated only with troubles. It should not be. At all stages of a child's life there are topics that need to be discussed with dad. And these topics can concern both serious things and everyday little things. Therefore, do not avoid conversations, but on the contrary, be their initiator. Ultimately, talking to your child builds trust in the relationship.4. Discipline and love. Discipline is one of the important conditions of education. But there is no need to punish the child for all his mistakes. And under no circumstances should you raise your voice at your child. Set boundaries, explain to your child what is good and what is not. Tell him what consequences there may be after his bad actions, and what he will receive for good behavior. The main thing is to do all this in moderation, with patience and love. 5. Father is an example. Children may not realize this, but the father is one of the main guides of the child into the adult world. Since childhood, children copy the behavior of their parents. Therefore, your attitude towards the world and people will manifest itself in your child. Daughters will understand the role of a man in their lives and will be guided by the criteria for choosing a partner that they will see in their father. The son's behavior and worldview are also a reflection of his parents' life. So remember: what you do now shapes our children. 6. Teach. Many people believe that everyone should teach children, but not the father. This is wrong. We are not talking about the father teaching the child to read or solve complex mathematical equations every day. But the father can teach the child to distinguish between good and evil, good and bad, show how to use this or that item in everyday life, etc.7. Eat together. This is another way to set aside a few minutes for each other: to share thoughts, ask for advice, learn something. After all, it's a good way to spend time together.8. Read to children. A love of reading is one of the indicators of a successful person. Therefore, read to your child from childhood, instill the ability and desire to read independently. Subsequently, the knowledge that the child will receive from books will definitely be useful to him.9. Show your love. Hugs, praise, and pleasant words will not be superfluous. This will show your child that they are loved and always ready to help. 10. Be always there. Children grow up quickly. But even as adults they remain someone’s children and often require advice, help, and support. Be prepared for the fact that your son or daughter will always need a father's shoulder and wise advice.
