God’s plan is for
children to have both a mother and a father who are present for more than just
conception. Why do they need both? Because mothers and fathers each provide for
the needs of their children in different and unique ways. One isn’t more
important than the other; rather, they both contribute to the overall health
and well-being of their children.
Numerous studies
have demonstrated that children with involved fathers perform better academically
and in social situations. Dads are
highly influential when it comes to teaching their kids (both sons and
daughters) how to have good relationships.
They instruct and encourage their children to be independent. Dads help develop strong character traits and
can inspire their kids to pursue a meaningful relationship with God.
Much has been said
over the years about “women’s intuition” and the innate connection that moms
have with their children. But I strongly
believe that dads also have insight and wisdom regarding their own kids. The balanced perspective that comes from
having both parents involved in the process is incredibly valuable.
Unfortunately,
there are many families where dads simply aren’t that involved. They might even be completely out of the
picture. God bless the thousands of
single moms who are struggling to provide for and be everything to their kids. These strong, brave women raise great kids
often in the face of extreme difficulty.
And let’s not forget all of those
single dads who are also working hard to care for their families. All of these single parents deserve our love and support.
Yes, dads are
important and need to be appreciated for the valuable role they play in their
children’s lives. Let’s show some gratitude
for daddies today!
