The parental relationship in life is undoubtedly one of the most important factors in shaping anyone’s life. A good father son relationship is key to a healthy upbringing. A father is tasked with being a good role model for his son and the son needs a fatherly figure to look up to.

Once broken, these relationships become very hard to fix. These relationships can be seen similar to the properties of a small hand saw blade. A sawblade is a brittle disc that can be broken easily with just your fingers, but when it is utilized properly those fragile blades can cut through steel. However once broken repairing a saw blade becomes near impossible and can never be returned to its full potential. It is this problem that plagues both Okonkwo and Baba. They do not give enough care to the relationships that they have and end up causing damage that cannot be reversed. Their decisions not only affect them, but their children as well. It was this inability to comprehend the feelings of their children that sabotaged any chance of having a successful father son relationship. If you have no respect for someone and will not listen to what they have to say, how could you possibly expect for them to have respect for you and do the
A child’s destiny crucially and heavily relies on the parental figures in their lives. Without such beacons of authority children in these broken homes easily feel partial, mislaid and typically turn out to be errant. The novel “Father Cry” by William Wilson, beautifully covers both the ideas of spiritual parental figures and physical parental figures. Analyzing several different subjects such as heartbreak, love, hope and many more, this book is able to holistically cover the general subject of parenthood. This is an amazing book with many things that one can learn from. Many ideas and topics in this book opened my eyes, pushing me to the verge of tears in some parts. That being said, one subject in particular that most impacted me was the
The father’s role in a child’s development has traditionally been underestimated. According to researchers Ross Parke and Kevin MacDonald and, authors of the article “Parent-Child Physical Play,” which appeared in the journal Sex Roles, fathers play an integral role in the emotional and social development of children. Father-child interaction tends to be more intense, and through their shared activities children learn how to express and control their emotions with their fathers. By working together, mothers and fathers help their children develop their skills across the spectrum.
Although single parenthood is on the rise in homes today, children still often have a father role in their life. It does not matter who the part is filled by: a father, uncle, older brother, grandfather, etc...; in almost all cases, those relationships between the father (figure) and child have lasting impacts on the youth the rest of their lives. In “I Wanted to Share My Father’s World,” Jimmy Carter tells the audience no matter the situation with a father, hold onto every moment.
Throughout Exploring the Role of Father Involvement in the Relationship Between Day Care and Children’s Behavior the main focus is on social and developmental psychologies. The social psychology is examined by the behavior and responses of the children, while developmental psychology was examined by behavior after so much time with parents.

The study they conducted gave mixed results in which left it possible that these behavioral problems could be blamed on the father and his involvement in the child’s life.
Healthy families foster environments of safety and relationships that are grounded on trust. One major factor in healthy family systems is positive parenting. Both Brooks (2014) and Feldman (2014) advocated the authoritative parenting as being the most beneficial for growing children. Generally within this style of parenting, Brooks noted that these types of parents provide emotional security and build up self-esteem in their children. Clear Rules are given, but they can be somewhat flexible and can come with explanations if the children would want to discuss the reasoning behind the rule (Brooks, 2013). Feldman explained that the environment that these parents create by parenting in this manner exudes warmth and support. Another factor in healthy family systems is that they lay the foundations for positive growth. Because open communication with the children is a common practice in this family life, the children are able to strengthen their communication and social skills (Brooks, 2013). Feldman supported that fact and added that with an environment that provides a strong sense of security, children are better able to make and maintain lasting relationships. With the safe, emotionally se...
The way the father interact with the world; reacts to bad/good new, the way he treats people and the way he looks at the world guides the child to doing the same thing and reacting the same way. The way the fathers treat the child’s mother will be in turn how the child treats his partners in the future and the way the father treats his kids will be the way the child treats his future kids.

Successful parenting may be judged by many different standards. Raising a child to be a respectful, mature, and independent adult requires a great deal of effort.

Overpowering sternness leads may lead to a rebellious child, while passive parenting may lead children to inept for the challenges of adulthood.

The role of a father in his child’s life extends past the knowledge of far too many, and can oftentimes be eclipsed by the role of the mother. Although the mother’s role is essential and greatly valued in a child’s life and development, the father plays a significant role as well. No mother can fill the father’s place in a child’s heart, for fathers nurture and play differently than a mother. Several studies show that an attendant and highly involved father is critical, especially in the early stages of a child’s life. The absence of a father during this stage can lead to “impaired social and behavioral abilities in adults” (Robert, 2013). But what is the role of the father? This paper discusses the role of the expectant father, the birth experience for him, the transition into fatherhood, and the rise of single fathers.

One of the main responsibilities of a father is providing the child with the necessities of life, which include food, shelter, and clothes. Not only is a father responsible for the physical aspect but the emotional aspect as well. Children need to feel loved, cared for, and emotional support from their parents. A child needs to be reassured, so a father must show his affection, both physically and emotionally. A father needs to be involved in his children’s life.
