Fathers’ Day


Most dads will receive a Fathers’ Day card on June 15th, but how many of them know just how important their role in the family is?


Scientists are increasingly realizing just how much dads matter.


Kids who feel loved by their father tend to have a greater sense of well-being, happiness and life satisfaction, than those who feel loved by their mother alone.


Dads may also be responsible for endowing their child with the “stick-with-it-ness” that will serve them well throughout their life. University researchers found that a dad’s parenting style is more closely linked to whether teens will exhibit persistence than mum’s parenting. A persistent personality, in turn, was related to less delinquency and more engagement in school over time. Fathers who are most eff ective at this are those who listen to their children, have a close relationship, set appropriate rules, but also grant appropriate freedoms.


Quality time with dad is really important too. It doesn’t have to be an expensive holiday or day trip - simply playing ball in the back garden or watching a fi lm together is fi ne. What’s important is that dad is there and fully engaged. So dads, why not use this Fathers’ day to get out, take the kids to the park and just enjoy being with your family.
