A recent study mentioned that children are less likely to develop behavioral problems if their father has an emotional attachment with them.According to a recent study published in The Telegraph made on children, despite the efficient child care and practical approach towards children, the thing that has a positive impact on children is the emotional bond a father has with them. The time is not an important factor in this regard.
Spending hours out of the day with children is not going to impact the child behaviors to an extent than the effect emotional involvement of parents with their children causes.
Emotional and psychological traits of parents is the driving force behind the strong bond that needs to be created between a father and his children. WB News also reviewed the study saying that these aspects make parenthood easier for them. Direct care is not required but the emotional support is the thing that helps fathers to better understand parenting.
The surveys and research conducted found out that the fathers who convinced their children to trust him, gave them leverage to feel secure in his confidence had developed a sense of satisfaction in their children. These kids were reported to have calm personalities with mood problems.
Fathers of these calm children did not spend ample of time with their children's task but always showed emotional support. Essential direct child care is already being provided to children by their mother.
So by being emotionally supportive,the fathers are in fact helping mothers too. Quality time is what fathers should spend with their children not the quantitative time. These small emotional involvements of a father tend to bring a positive effect in overall personality of children.
This instrumental support brings a healthy outcome in the improvement of mental health of children. These small efforts contribute to development of happy family and bring great results in children. A father's emotional parenting is a key role that he can play in bringing his children up along with the direct care of his wife.
