A dad is not someone who brings in money. Beautifully with a message about the importance of dad in a child’s life

Daddy is a man with whom a child can safely try new things – jumping off sofas, climbing trees, travelling on the bus and paying the fare himself. Daddy is near and he will reliably protect from many problems.

Daddy is a man, next to whom you want to be persistent and persevering – to zip up a zip, learn to tie your shoelaces, finish your assignment, pull yourself up on the bar. Daddy teaches you to be persistent.

Daddy is a fair man. There are understandable daddy’s rules, which a person, growing up, compares and brings into conformity with his “rules of life”. Dad brings universal rules into a child’s life.

Dad is often the final authority. Every child has his own “I’ll tell Daddy!” and “Daddy told me.”

For a boy, Daddy is the man you want to be when you grow up. For a girl, Daddy is the husband you want to meet when you grow up.
Daddy shows what it means to be a man.

When a real daddy is not present in a child’s life, the child gets used to the “TV daddy” – the images played by actors and musicians in films and on stage. Happy stories about real people are boring to play, so the “TV Dad” is usually either very aggressive or very weak.

A child begins to see daddy as a vital person at the age of one and a half to two years old.
From this age, in the absence of communication with daddy, the child will intensively search for a replacement for daddy.

To prevent this from happening, and the child continues to communicate with the real daddy, we use:

1. bodily contact – the most tangible for the child.
   You can wash the child, you can roll him on himself, you can toss him (and catch him), play mobile games or finger games. Believe me, in any flat and room you can play “jumping jacks”, “bear and bear” or “horny goat”. Dad can safely take the child in his arms or on his neck, if the child asks. We have not met in our practice cases of “my child stopped walking because he was often carried in his arms”.
   It is very important that in the dialogue between daddy and daughter (or son) there is a time that belongs only to the two of them. This way mum will have a rest and dad will feel that he can be with the child alone, and the child will get dad’s attention.
2. emotional communication between daddy and child.
   Daddy and the child can eat together, collect Daddy to work together, draw together, type on the computer, talk about what has happened all day or what is happening outside the window now.
   Even phone and SKYPE communication can reduce the deficit in the daddy-child relationship a bit.
3. “Distant intimacy” (when daddy is far away).
   Letters from daddy to the child (or comics, if the child is not reading yet), role-playing games “as if I were daddy at work”, mum’s stories about daddy, letters and drawings of the child for daddy, “so that daddy would come and be happy later” will help.

Dad and mum are both irreplaceable people in the life and destiny of a boy and a girl.

In the first five years a child makes a huge step from a very tender infant to a small inhabitant of the Earth, who can talk and read, walk and run, work, care and love. And further the little inhabitant becomes brave, powerful, gentle and happy when surrounded by a strong, loving and happy family.

Making a family strong, loving and happy is a task that mum and dad can cope with together.
