Dads play an important role in the up bringing of any child .Children‘s social, physical and intellectual development benefit to a great extent from the involvement of fathers, as said by many experts. The intellectual gains are measureable in early stages of any child’s life, they continue to show up in the schools mainly when dads together with mums, are actively involved in school and the learning process of their child. Fathers, in general, are opposite of mothers, a mess maker, rule breaker, risk taker .But moms are master nurturer, creator of law and orderly manners for everything. Sometimes daddies like things that annoy mothers, but will significantly contribute towards children’s social skills. Here we discuss the three ways with which DADS perform the role of fathers in the upbringing of their child.
How the rough and tough images of dads help kids?
Dads tend to be more arousing and rock infants more with rock and roll stunts on floor play. Babies as young as one year ,notice the difference between mothers protective attitude and dad’s animate behavior .Often kids pick fathers  over mothers for fun and action .Daddy type skills help children acquire social and emotional experiences that prepare them   for school-how to take turns, how to negotiate, customary etc. Kids who learn these skills from their fathers in early stages of their childhood, do better in future also.
Role of dads as an expert
From the earliest moments of any child’s life, dads help them to face the world. Mothers generally want to find the safe and comfortable place for their children. But  fathers swap that feeling of security for  broader  view  letting the babies  notice the sounds and moments around them ,making   them  defy and valiant  like themselves. Father  becomes  the role model of their child ,children want  to be like their father  .They  want to follow the footsteps of their father and feel  proud  in their own  small  way that their father introduced  them to a world beyond their neighborhoods  .
Role of dads as a teacher
Often children don’t have male teachers in their primary schools. Therefore kids miss out this mannish experience. So it becomes important for dad to play an active role in their learning process at home. One way to do this is by reading together which show, much higher verbal skills. According to expert, children do very well when father care about them.
Mothers and fathers are indeed different. But their distinctive styles of caretaking complement each other perfectly to the advantage of children.
We know that the responsibilities of mother and father go hand in hand. But when   they perform their   duties fully in upbringing of their child .You will find out the consequences are always positive.
