My Dad Is My Hero, My Role Model

Sigmund Freud said that few things are as valuable in childhood as feeling the security that parents give us. Somehow, those who knew and know how to take responsibility for their role are seen by us as true heroes, as role models that we always tend to imitate.

We know that our space is mainly dedicated to moms.

Furthermore, our purpose is always to offer strategies, advice and guidance to these women who are facing pregnancy, the lactation period and who, after all, have in their hands the important task of creating, guiding and educating.

But now parents are part of it too. Currently, we are seeing a phenomenon that pleases and excites us.

It is exactly this defense made by the parents themselves through many media and organizations that defend their conscious, constant and close parenthood.

This movement has already received a name: they are the “neopalas”. Men of all ages who participate in creation workshops in a respectful way and are willing to change stereotypes and clichés.

In short, men who are as knowledgeable as mothers on any issue related to children and childhood.

They are parents seen as a real role model to imitate. Parents who inspire us and who, without a doubt, will mark their children’s lives forever.

My father: my hero and my reference

We all have our own parents in mind. After all, they are our roots. They left their mark on the depths of our being, our origins and our identity.

His figure is so deep that suffering the absence of the father or experiencing, for example, a upbringing based on detachment or affective coldness forces us to deal with many gaps.

In these cases, there are some traumas and multiple psychological complexities that would make a book.

Now, if we had the privilege of having a close, significant and affectionate father figure, without a doubt, we would have a real treasure, a reference in our daily life.

Because a good father is an inspiration and is the helm of many families, as well as mothers.

what the good father shows us

A good father shows us as much as a good mother . There are two pillars. In other words, two trees that nurture fortresses, that protect with their branches and guide us so that we can achieve our dreams, desires and possibilities.

The good father, above all, serves as a role model for the child. Little ones are very receptive to what their parents say, what they do or don’t do.

Thus, it is essential that parents are aware of everything they do or express aloud. Our children are very receptive to any stimulus, behavior, attitude, etc.

A good father helps us make decisions. Mainly decisions that are based on values, rules, acts of conscience and maturity that dad will teach day by day.

A good parent, moreover, promotes children’s curiosity and helps them to solve problems by always being receptive.

On the other hand, it is common for a good father to always be that refuge that the little ones seek when difficulties arise.

They know that the father is that person who dissipates any fear, who cannot say “no”.

It is the hero who looks at what is hidden under our bed, who distracts us when there is thunder and storms and who makes us laugh when we have a day

Daddy is not a big kid, he’s the one who helps me grow

Our colloquial language, sometimes derived from incorrect ideas, empty sentences and many clichés, for a long time caused damage to the father figure.

So phrases like “My partner helps me with my kids” or “My husband is like a big kid because my kids have so much fun with him” are ideas that we should correct and address correctly.

• A father does not help in the creation, a father is part of it.
• A father is not there solely to play with his children, amuse them, or entertain them when the mother is away or when she is busy.
• A father plays with his children when he needs to. But, above all, what he does is educate, know, nurture emotions, be close, know how to set limits when necessary. In short, it is being that wise and responsible parent who makes creation a conscious, responsible and mature act.

We will, therefore, take better care of our language and put into practice integrative actions, in which mothers and fathers share their responsibilities.

It is necessary to develop a child in which there are no differences or preferences and in which children are always the most important. We can all be heroes in our children’s lives!
