If you could assemble the perfect father figure, what would we see?
No matter their age, all boys need affection. But male love looks different from female love. Male love is active and physical; it plays ball and roughhouses; it encourages with a slap on the back and defends when necessary.
Nothing builds a boy’s self-worth more than spending time with a man who enjoys his company. While sports and other activities are great, sometimes guys just need to hang out together.
Boys need clear boundaries. And while mothers can go a long way in socializing their sons, boys learn best how to be good disciplinarians when fathers demonstrate self-control.
Fathers instinctively know you have to keep male hands busy. Boys need someone who will get down in the dirt with them, teach them how to build things or change the oil in the car.
Dads are notorious for being silly and fun. Boys need someone to have burping contests with and to show them the lighter side of a male life.
One of the most significant things a father figure can model is the love for his wife or girlfriend. Boys need a man to show them what being a loving and committed husband or boyfriend really means.
You may not find all these qualities perfectly packaged in one man, but your son or daughter will reap the benefits from being with around people who exemplify traits of what you want him or her to learn. If there not already. These are things that I still wish I had growing up as a kid. Anyway Happy Fathers Day everyone~BAMM THE JOURNEY OF A MUSIC PRODUCER BECOMING A LEGEND.
