Mental health advocate explains the impact of a present father
Briefly News spoke to Candice Lambert, mental health advocate and director at Kids Dialogue, to find out what the psychological effects fathers have on children - she made reference to the video. This is what she said:
"He does her hair in the morning and walks with her as she waddles along carrying a bag. This dad to a 3-year-old girl decided to spend a special day with her — just a daughter-dad day.
"With Father’s Day approaching, it’s important to celebrate the dads who are supportive and caring towards their children. Sometimes life doesn’t give us a perfectly put-together family, but if we have love, connection and kind discipline, we have more than a lot of the children have in SA currently.
"Research indicates that 4.7% of families will experience poverty if raised in a female-only household, lending to the issue of quality time versus needing to work in order to put food on the table. There comes a stretch in terms of bandwidth to empower and have kids grow adequately. The 2nd level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs indicates Safety, at Kids Dialogue, we strongly suggest that safety be considered in terms of not only physical safety but emotional and psychological safety too. Not having a dad or father figure feed into a child’s self-concept and development could lead to emotional challenges, a drop in performance in school, susceptibility to substances or alcohol, along with teenage pregnancies.
"Dads being present with love and affection towards children serves as a buffer towards later potential stressors or trauma. It also helps children to regulate their emotions better and supports growth in terms of values and affirmation.
"We do need to bear in mind that correlation does not imply causation and isn’t linear at all. However, having a dad present and positively affirming creates a fertile ground for later overall success, and the opposite lends to challenges experienced by children."
Cute video of dedicated father helping his little daughter hula-hoop spreads warm feels on social media
In related news, Briefly News reported that one father has the world smelting over a clip of him helping his little daughter hula-hoop. The sad reality is that many fathers are absent, but not this one.
While being a dad shouldn’t have to be rewarded, it often is due to the fact that so many fail to play their part. This father is a perfect example of what a male parent should be.
Twitter user @user421S shared the cutest daddy-daughter clip. Clearly, the little princess was a bit too small to operate the hula-hoop so her dad stepped in and made her feel as if she was doing it.
