I try to be the steadiness and security in my daughter’s life. She knows she can rely on me if she needs to. My own dad was somewhat distant in my life, so I wanted to make sure that I was different.

I think parents are there to lead by example. Father, mother, and if you have positive grandparents and older siblings, that doesn’t hurt either.

A great dad can really be impactful. Dads contribute to a kids development in various ways, like shaping their emotional, social, and building a strong character.
Something a lot of little young people are missing out on. I know I did ☹

A good and safe dad can help contribute to a child's development just as much as the mum. Team work too.

A disciplinarian anchor. A first-hand model for how a man should treat a woman, seen through dad/mom relationship dynamics. Good dads are the best.

@DarthInvader I agree and rare sadly same with moms not enough good ones

To role model positive masculinity in the home. Because I can guarantee that the same children will encounter plenty of toxic masculinity outside of the family.

A father doesn’t have to be perfect—his presence, guidance, and effort to be involved often matter more than anything else.

@WoWgirll not having the father involved makes me feel guilty in a way that I didn't give them the dad the deserve but I also want my kids to feel safe and secure so if the father brings negatives I try do right by them what's in my kids best interests not mine or the father but my kids

Both parents are important ..Dad's the anchor ,the huge tree gives shelter from the storms to the family..under his protection the family grows

Maybe the sense of security? The feeling that someone’s got my back no matter what?
They represent a unique perspective, offer a consistent model for healthy relationships, and encourage children to take healthy risks, helping them develop into balanced, well-adjusted individuals.

Everything. Emotional support. Discipline. Integrity.

the same that makes a mom so important

Because they teach their children important social skills – like the old “pull my finger” joke. Cheers!
