Fatherhood: An Insight

It is always a good opportunity to think a little more about the place of the father in the family today. Besides the biological contribution that is a vital part, the affective role of the father in our lives has always been in the life of our family. The role of father has changed as far as the culture was becoming, in fact, the family itself has also changed greatly. Father, with creature mission, with limits and possibilities.

Close or distant, in this or in another dimension, all this contributes to that, today, the place of the father is a little difficult to define. But some things have not changed much. Childcare remains a difficult, arduous and complex as before. And so this task must be shared. The father remains, in most cases, essential both for generating welcome you as a child. He continues to be one with whom the mothers also have to share the task of creating the children.

In general, when you think of his father, the first association is with authority. But often the concept of authority is misunderstood. In the family, that authority is the adult who occupies a position of responsibility, influence and have the right and duty to impose rules. It is like an orchestra conductor governs. This person is known to function in the role of father, which is key pro development of a person.

Basically, the paternal role is to limit, bring pro world of the child the concept of law. Indeed, it starts much earlier than it sounds. First of all, it must be said that the limits and rules are increasingly difficult to sustain. Parents and children are treated as equals, as if they were members of the school. So it seems that the differences do not exist: the differences in age, experience, capabilities and roles in the family. And most worrying is that this is confused with flexibility and freedom. If the father - or mother - is the guy who supervise its place of authority, he is seen as father grimace, rigid, outdated. This is really a distortion of the true meaning of freedom.

When the two, father and mother, really share this function, and are attuned to the rules, the children only have to win. And it could be because parents feel increasingly emotionally distant from his children that the adult child who thinks you're wonderful because it never denies anything to the child, is denying what he needs most is someone who fill the place of authority. When this place is empty, generating just the idea that each is governed by itself, it is every man for himself, which gives an immense feeling of abandonment. And the truth is that the difficulty of changing situations and to sustain the rules and the law just passed to the child the idea that you do not need to undergo the authorities, rules or limits. All children are growing in wisdom and understanding. When you hear the voice that leads us to a greater good, there is our father, close or distant, revealing best means to live in harmony and with wisdom stars touch with your hands. Good energy. I believe in you.
