What is #Dadication? It's just like dedication but it means that as a father, you never stop being a dad. There's no one right way as long as you show up for your kids, even when it's not so easy.

Studies have shown that when fathers are affectionate and supportive, it greatly affects a child's cognitive and social development. It also instills an overall sense of well-being and self confidence.

Fathers play a major role in preparing children for life outside the family. Father's level of education and success on the job is linked with his child's intellec- tual abilities. Fathers' emotional support to others involved in direct care (i.e. Mom) influences the well-being of children.

Here are 5 important but easily overlooked roles of a father.

• Motivator. As a dad, you are at times a helper, a coach, and a friend.
• Enforcer. Fatherlessness is a great concern in our society today.
• Encourager. Every child loves positive fatherly encouragement.
• Trainer.
• Counselor.

Stephen Kendrick outlines seven roles that a father plays in the life of his family: provider, protector, leader, teacher, helper, encourager, and friend. When you think about your own father, which of these qualities did he do well?

Answer. Through almost every studied culture, fathers have assumed three primary roles: the protector, the provider, and the disciplinarian. Before we discuss each of these roles, it is important to note that in many two-parent families today, mothers are fulfilling these three roles as much as fathers.

These include:

• to protect your child from harm.
• to provide your child with food, clothing and a place to live.
• to financially support your child.
• to provide safety, supervision and control.
• to provide medical care.
• to provide an education.

This article's content will only focus on four parenting categories: authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and uninvolved. Every category employs a unique approach to how parents raise their children.

Already beloved by listeners of hit podcast, Raising Good Humans, Dr. Pressman distills it all with a handful of strategies every parent can use to get things right often enough: Relationship, Reflection, Regulation, Rules, and Repair.

In these sessions, parents learn how to communicate more effectively with their child, set appropriate boundaries, encourage positive child behaviour, manage negative behaviour, and improve the parent–child relationship.
