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 good dad is priceless beyond value. He is a solid wall of safety and he brings a sense of calmness, steadiness and logic to the lives of those he loves. He might not be overly demonstrative with love every single day but you unquestionably feel how much he loves you because he's always selflessly dependable and a great provider. He's just always there for you with the small things and the big things. Thanks to all the awesome Dads out there. You are very much appreciated xx

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.

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 ☹

Our parents are usually the biggest influence in our lives, for better or worse. I was blessed with two great parents. They were not perfect people, but truly dedicated to doing their best by us. If there was "privilege" in my life .. it was their influence, teaching guidance, and unwavering support.

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.

@SunshineGirl very true

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

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.

@WoWgirll a father like both parents should be a role model there for love and advice when needed
dpoet · 36-40, M
the same that makes a mom so important

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