At about this time we celebrate Father's Day. One with has observed that Father's day is like Mother's Day. Which points up the fact that much more attention is paid to mothers on their day than to fathers on theirs. Being a father, he will not argue that he should not be so. For a mother's influence to her children is usually stronger than a father's. Supposedly the father's influence can be stronger.
In fact, the Bible declares that "the glory of children are their fathers." How can a father be the kind of man that his children will be proud of. Share your view mylotters....Happy weekend everyone!

Should it be about discipline or should a father be Teaching not only his family but others around him? As for family worship, shouldn't we all be leading others toward goodness, unconditional love and kindness? That's what God is really all about. If one has truly learned unconditional love, it's not hard to be selfless. One should never value blame. One should work toward RESULTS instead. The learning is in the journey.

Father should also take an active and supportive role in disciplining the children. He should take an active leadership role in family worship.

First of all,FATHERS should play a role model to be well respected by their children. They should set good example of being a strong image of a man that can be depended or the children can rely on. His words are full of wisdom, concrete and precise in everything he designs for the family be it for the future foundation,learned experiences to rule and guide, determination to fight and win and most especially
having the fear that is felt only in losing the faith in God. Show the children the utmost fear and love for God and the rest will follow to have children that will surely respect their own father.

Very well said my friend. While it is true that parents, especially the father are responsible in providing their children the basic needs such as food clothing and shelter, it is also their duty to nurture their children's spiritual maturity. We may not have fabulous wealth and glamorous lives, but if our family is peaceful and if it remains strong in faith and active in its service to God, we have a blessed household. This should be our guiding principle in looking for means to support our family, whenever this undertaking may take us.

If Fathers do what need to be done by being a responsible father, the children need not be taught to respect them because they will know as they grow if they are worth to be respected or not. The fathers should plant good seeds to harvest good fruits.

hello buddy, both mother and father are influential to their child's behavior. Father is for the manners, attitude, outside culture and mother is for maintaining themselves in cleanliness, other household activities..

Hi fried, yes you are right both mother and father have their own role in the family. in addition, being a good father is being accessible, being able to show love for your kids, not only in terms of providing a comfortable life, but spending time with them. God bless you more....

I am not a father but I feel like I could speak on this subject..
I don't think it takes a genius to be a father..what I do know is that
children are very very smart...a lot smarter than adults give the
credit for...they absorb everything good and bad...they are like little
sponges..so fathers need to show more good than bad...be more positive than negtive show more Love than sorrow...Children need to feel loved and taught good morals..when they feel the love they can give it back...

yes fathers should play as role model to his children, he should not get involved in any nefarious activities. They should not accept bribe, steal, or get involved in illegal and immoral acts just to gain large income. What is much more essential is that "peace and quiet" reign over the home.
