It has to be stated parenting has come under assault due to modernization and increasingly what makes up the relationship between children and their parent is damaged daily.It is incumbent on us as a society to retrace our steps,The need to talk about fatherhood.I dare say a father is a pathfinder for a child.
What a father does!
a father simply crystallizes the prospect and possibilities in the life of a child, as a child is the direct offshoot of the father.If the father doesn’t believe in the future of the child, the child will struggle and this makes the path to success harder.It has to be stated to fathers, that parenting has changed,and it is harder to be a father these days because of the contentious influences from new media to a redefinition of the role of parents.It is now incumbent on the father to work extra hard at securing the future of his child.A father must understand the emotional framework of the child and also balance out the sociocultural ecosystem around the child.I shrug at the increase in single parenting because the work is hard enough parenting a child and I must appreciate the single parents out there, that is why fathers must be present to give a balance to the lives of their children.I have spoken to many fathers and I keep telling them the most important job is being a father and they must take the job seriously.In fact we as a society must have a platform for a fathers conference where fathers are taught the intricacies of parenting in the modern age.I repeat fathers must learn about the emotional state of their children and also be their friends and help them envision possibilities in the future.As I have stated hitherto, a father is a pathfinder in the life of the children and the father must constantly review how well he is doing as regards this.It is not going to be an easy journey but fathers must make the reform every single day.
