Bio on David Andrews
Dr. David Andrews is the dean of John Hopkins Educational School and a lecturer in three academic institutions and also a prolific author. Among his current books is the book "My Father's Day Gift", which explains the impact of good and meaningful father-child relationships.
While it's true that fathers dedicate a big part of their lives working to earn an income in an aggressive working environment, their major influential role on children growth should never be overlooked.
While fathers are often preoccupied with the business of making a living in today's highly competitive workplace, the importance of fathers should not be underestimated. A father plays an essential role in child raising, teaching children how they should behave with other children, and providing masculine care, guidance and feedback on many aspects of human life.
When raising sons, fathers can show them proper ways to embrace their manhood like being well-mannered and being aware of the needs of others-not harassing them or being inconsiderate. When raising daughters, they can show them how to have meaningful relationships with men.
When a father is not in a home, because of death or divorce, the fatherly figure could be replaced by other males in the family e.g. grandfathers, uncles, or any other trusted males in the family, all of whom can have a positive impact on children. In such cases, special programs may also offer young adolescents, fatherly figures that set good examples for children whose fathers are not present.
Dr Andrews, as requested by Lon, outlined a few points fathers need to consider in order to have a positive impact on their children:
-Fathers should be committed to creating meaningful relationships with the children they raise.
--Fathers should collaborate with the mother of their children or caregivers and maintain clearly defined and steady communication with their children.
--Fathers should create the right structure in the home.
--Fathers should enforce restrictions, if necessary, for guarding their children's well-being and maturing.
--Fathers should take an active part in the daily activities of their kids, including sports, education, studying and art endeavors. These things are important to create a steady relationship with their children.
Obviously, fathers who take part in their children lives are major influential figures. As a matter of fact, a father's influence is often acknowledged when their children have become adults and begins to raise their own children.
