Fathers are key people!!! More and more studies are showing that when a father is not present within the home there are some major problems that happen. Girls are not getting that proper male attention from their fathers that they need and will them start to seek it out from other people, but inappropriately. Boys are missing that role model in the home and will turn to other bad role models to also get that male attention that they need.
Many fathers work outside the home and are already missing out on a lot during the day, but we need to remember that once we are off of work that it is family time.
Mothers can help fathers feel that attachment by showing them that they are needed by not only them, but also the children. Moms need to allow dad to have one on one time with the children so that they can create a bond and relationship that does not involve you in it. Encourage him to take the children out for personal dates or outings and make sure that he feels like you are in a partnership and not just it is your way or the highway.
As mothers we need to be patient more with the fathers of our children. We are instinctively nurturing and for them it takes awhile to develop. We get nine months of attachment so lets make sure that we give them some time to get the hang of things.
Be Kind to Others,
