A man, a woman, and a child - a family is born. It takes a man and a woman to create and raise a child. In our society, mothers are often and wholly responsible for child rearing in addition to the household tasks while father works outside to support the family financially.

Yet in some cases it is possible that only one parent is around. It is the family environment that helps children to develop into a productive and responsible citizen.

The role of father is significant at different stages of the child's life (infancy, preschool, school age, teenage). His responsibility is not limited to merely giving monetary support to the family.

Childcare is fun and as a father you should love it. The comfort of father's care is unique. Here are some ways, picked from real experiences, which may help you to exult in rearing your kid.

Show your love for them

Most dads don't reveal the emotions or love overtly. Make your kids feel that you do care for them. Did you hug your child today? Such explicit expressions aid you to build a sound relationship that lasts forever.

Spend time with them
Try to make use of your free time with them, taking them out or playing with them. Go for cycling or play basketball with them.
You should be their friend, philosopher and guide. Discuss and debate on some interesting and informative topics, which may prove useful for them in future.

Come down to their level
Don't preach; instead talk to them as if you see the world through a child's eyes. Children feel free if you don't present yourself as an adult.
Why don't you be one among them?

Be a parent
Make your children aware of the confines, as they are not grown up to take care of themselves. Set discipline and limits, but take care not to administer it. Discipline is one of the excellent gifts that a parent can give his child.

Children love their mothers, but at times, they need their father with them. Fathers are capable of providing a feeling of security to the kids.

Try these tips and create your own ways to get closer to them. I am sure you will be delighted to find them sharing their experiences and excitements with you!
