Fathers’ Role in Developing Child Emotional Development

Abstract

Parents are examples and role models for children. Children are excellent imitators and they will imitate what their parents do. The role of a father is very important in raising and taking care of children. If there is no balance between the roles of mother and father, it is feared that the child will grow up not according to parents expectations. The roles of the father are indeed so crucial for the growth of a child considering that there are many fathers who do not want to be involved and think that the affairs of the child are the business of a mother. The relationship between father and children is established if there is regular interaction. Father's attention and time also greatly affect the bonding between children and fathers. Father will be a figure so that children are able to learn discipline, firm, independent and responsible. And when children involve fathers when they are doing something they can better tolerate stress and frustration, are better at problem solving, and have better control over their emotions and impulses. early childhood education programs.
