Role of Dad is important to children.

I am a primary school teacher. The moms are the ones to collect the children and some are interested in helping with the home work. I have parents evening and it is mostly moms that turn up. Few dads attend. In the case of the triplets the mom was a teacher at the school. She didn't want to attend. Their dad was a school governor and he attended. The dads are busy working and they are great at home but not at school perhaps. Many children are brought up by a single mother and their father might be absent.

Right now, I am a work at home father and I decided it so that I can be with my children 24 hrs. So far, I am very happy with my decision although it is hard to balance my time. I am a professional blogger, and my blog is about parenting and marriage as well about blogging. I am not a professional adviser though, but I have a deep concern with family especially to children. I think it's just fine if the father half day to his children, as long he spends it with quality. Thanks!

Hi zhuhuifen, I agree completely, dads need to get more involved with the education of their children. Traditionally, this has been left to the mothers but it's time that things start to change. I was one of the very few dads to be involved with their children's education thirty years ago and now my sons are involved with my grandchildren's education. As more and more dads get involved, I'm sure it will help. Blessings.

I think a dad's role is very important for any child. A dad should spend more time with his children. It will have a great positive impact on the child's life.

it is always better to have both parents in their child's school meeting. most of those i see though are mothers, only very few fathers. fathers have the biggest responsibility in the family. a child with an absentee father has the tendency to attach himself to his mother. this might affect the child's growing up years as he would increasingly be attached to his mother and already copies his mother's traits and actions. a father is really urged to be always present in the household to avoid this and other problems. from then, the son imitates his father and not the mother.

when I was young, my father seldom spent time companing with me. So i envied the girls around me who had a intimate father, I think that's a regret in my childhood.

You are quite right. Mom and dad plays the main role for their children. Without any of them, it is uncompleted and it has a negative for their children. Dad can have some positive effect on children, such as being strong, brave and so on. I love China

Hello my friend zhuhuifen46 Ji, Your grand son is most lucky to have his dad as your son. There are many who do not find time even for days together to talk to tehir children. It is a sorry state affair now-a-days. Children are very much neglected due to busy schedules of their parents. Som ebody has to think seriously. May God bless you and have a great time.

Yes my friend,if our father is erresposible he is not a capable to manage things for hes children.Father was our idol who we look up.That's why they were important to the children the rules and yet father got rules too to himself.thank's my friend.

Dear zhuhuifen, It is glad to know that your son really make a point to spend at least half an hour daily with your grandson. He read and watch tv together. Assembling toy & appliances is their best fun..this is the best time to have the quality bonding that will shape the child character in the future. In my case, mu husband have to go outstation to work very frequently. But once he is around, I will make sure he spend more time with his son, either fetch him back from school, attend school 'Open Day' to collect report card, go for movies together and do some guy's stuff.. Wonderful topic, hope to hear your views on my topic too!

My husband doesn't really get involved with the children as much as I do. When we go shopping, they'd rather go with me than with their dad. I think maybe because they are all girls. But I see some dads can be pretty close to their daughters too. I wish my husband would be more involved with my children's lives.

I remembered when I was a child,it's always my mom who sent me to children school.I don't know if I could be wiser if it was my dad,although it's just a "if". I think mom is good at handling life things ,like family routines at home.while for dad,you can learn many ways to deal with thins around you well,maybe dad has more logical thought...uh..ha
