The importance of a present father in a son's life
A son's total growth and well-being are greatly impacted by the presence of a father in his life. While speaking to Briefly News lay counsellor and emotional support expert Astrid Daries said the following:
"A present father plays a crucial role in a son's life, providing emotional stability and fostering self-worth and confidence. Fathers serve as primary role models, teaching boys about masculinity, responsibility, and respect, shaping their personal identity and understanding of societal norms. Involved fathers positively impact academic performance and social skills, encouraging curiosity and critical thinking."
The lay counsellor and emotional support expert went on to say that they guide appropriate behaviour and decision-making, reducing delinquency and promoting a strong moral compass.
"Physical activities with fathers enhance fitness and life skills, strengthening the father-son bond. The relationship sets a foundation for future interactions, promoting respect and communication. Fathers also contribute to economic stability and teach financial responsibility. Overall, a father's presence is vital for a son's holistic development, resilience, and success."
