The duties of a head of the family is not as easy as you think we are all, more responsibility must be borne by the head of the family. In this blog i want state the duties of father's.1
1) Participate
The father’s everyday role has changed significantly
from years past, particularly in dual-income households. A father’s positive
interactions with his children have positive influences on children’s
development, and should be encouraged. Even in cases of depressed mothers, a
father’s involvement reduces anxiety, depression, aggression and hyperactivity
in children, suggests a 2009 research study published in "Canadian Journal
of Nursing Research." This study also found that excessive
working--specifically on the weekend--increased the risk for emotional issues
in children. Staying involved physically and emotionally is one of the most
critical duties of a father for kid’s health: be available for social support
such as long talks about girls with your son, take the kids to doctor
appointments and baseball practice or bring them with you to pick up groceries.
2 ) Provide
Fathers have a moral responsibility to provide
financial support in the form of child support if parents are unmarried. Even
in committed relationships, most families still require two earners to get by.
However, fathers who see their obligation as only providing for needs such as
shelter, food and clothing tend to participate less in other arenas, like
social and emotional support, reports a study published in 2013 in
"Journal of Exercise Rehabilitation." Doing your best to seek and
keep employment will help you full fill this provider role, but don’t lose track
of other areas, such as emotional support. If you have trouble finding work,
provide help around the house to take the pressure off other wage earners while
you seek employment.
3) Teach Good Communication

Learning to communicate starts young, and fathers
are in an excellent position to teach this to their children. Communication is
critical for connectedness, and can even reduce emotional and behavioral issues
such as substance abuse, notes a 2010 study published in "Addiction and
Behavior." Ask your children questions, stay open minded about their ideas
and remain calm during discussions. Treat them and their mother kindly,
regardless of whether you are still a couple. By treating children the way you
want them to treat others in the future, you are teaching important, life-long
skills.
4) Support Mom
What you do as a father has a great impact on your
child’s mother, as well as affecting the child. Your support of your partner
not only shows children what a healthy relationship looks like, but also
assists moms in meeting their parenting goals. For instance, support from
fathers increases the likelihood that mothers will meet breastfeeding goals,
according to research published in 2005 in "Pediatrics." You can help
her meet other goals too, by making dinner if the goal is healthy eating for
the family. If you are no longer together, you can still assist by offering to
grab something at the store, providing a listening ear or taking the children
for an extra weekend if she has to work.
A father is a role model too. The way he behaves,
acts and reacts, carries himself, interacts with others etc. are all watched by
the child and imitated in many ways. The child is consciously and
sub-consciously watching the father's actions and learning from it. If the
father is calm and cool, so the child shall be. If the father is temperamental,
the child thinks that this is normal behavior and picks up cues from him. In
rare cases, the child may reject negative behavior and behave in a positive
manner.
He gives a sense of security to the child in more
ways than one. The child with a father to fall back on is a more confident and
balanced child. The child grows up with a comfort that the father will protect
and support the child at all times. The child also behaves with responsibility
if there is a fear of retribution from a disciplinarian father.
