Dr David Andrews, one of America's most reputable educational professionals, discussed the role of fathers on children's growth, personal development and success, on Lon Woodbury's show "Parent Choices For Struggling Teens", a radio show held once a week on L.A Talk Radio.
The presenter of the show, Lon Woodbury, is the CEO of Woodbury Reports, Inc and the founder of the Struggling Teens organization. He is also a writer of numerous books about struggling teens. As an independent educational counselor (for parents and adolescents at risk), he has gained a reputation for supporting parents whose children are going through hard times, helping them to make the right educational choices when it comes to deciding on alternative schools. He has been working intimately with parents and struggling teens for around two decades.
About Dr David Andrews
Dr. David Andrews is the dean of John Hopkins Educational School and a lecturer in three academic institutions and also a prolific author. Among his current books is the book "My Father's Day Gift", which explains the impact of good and meaningful father-child relationships.
While it's true that fathers dedicate a big part of their lives working to earn an income in an aggressive working environment, their major influential role on children growth should never be overlooked.
While fathers are often preoccupied with the business of making a living in today's highly competitive workplace, the importance of fathers should not be underestimated. A father plays an essential role in child raising, teaching children how they should behave with other children, and providing masculine care, guidance and feedback on many aspects of human life.
Fathers who dedicate their precious time to communicate with their children properly may have a positive effect on them. Fathers can show their sons the right path to manhood, which among other things includes being someone who is benevolent and affectionate-not someone who expresses aggression in negative ways and bullies, teases, or torments younger children. Fathers can guide their daughters on ways to establish meaningful relationships with men.
When a father is not in a home, because of death or divorce, the fatherly figure could be replaced by other males in the family e.g. grandfathers, uncles, or any other trusted males in the family, all of whom can have a positive impact on children. In such cases, special programs may also offer young adolescents, fatherly figures that set good examples for children whose fathers are not present.
When Lon asked what a father can do to influence their children, Dave offered a brief list:
-Fathers should be committed to creating meaningful relationships with the children they raise.
--Fathers should collaborate with the mother of their children or caregivers and maintain clearly defined and steady communication with their children.
--Fathers should create the right structure in the home.
--Fathers should set boundaries and constraints on their children to protect them.
--Fathers should take an active part in the daily activities of their kids, including sports, education, studying and art endeavors. These things are important to create a steady relationship with their children.
Fathers who engaged with their children had a long-lasting impact on their children's lives. In fact, the importance of fathers was often appreciated long after their children had grown up and become parents themselves.
