Why is the Father so instrumental in the family?  Fathers play a huge role in their children’s lives.  They help in so many parts of the growth of children.  I was doing some research on fatherhood and I found some valuable statements that amazed me on how much the father is needed in the family.

            First off God has given us the amazing ability to become parents and it is a calling that is treasured above all others I like a quote that I found that really points this out for father imp articular “God chooses ordinary men for fatherhood to accomplish His extraordinary plan.”  So what are some key points in becoming a perfect father?  I found many ways of doing so but some of my favorites focus on how the need of a father to be involved with his children is tremendous. We can do this by helping them solve problems or to simply participate in activities with our children.  They need to show support not just financially but also emotionally, mentally, physically, socially, and spiritually and should not be ashamed of anything they do.  Love is one of the biggest things a father can do to help his child excel to become an outstanding adult.  Fathers should learn to do this through words and affection which can involve a simple smile.  This is a really hard one for to handle correctly but it is very plausible. 

In discipline a father must learn how to share his beliefs and use explanations and reasoning rather than using force.   Father also needs to learn how to schedule time with their children and to just sacrifice time when it may not always be convenient, as long as just spend time with them they will feel your love.  All of these things are crucial in being a father.  They will help our kids not have as many school dropouts, substance abuse, teen pregnancies, crime and violence, unsuccessful socialization in children, gender development, and aggression.  Which increase from an absence of a father.
