A good father knows what his family needs from him: love, unconditional and irrevocable; support; protection; trust; and a shoulder

Children look to their fathers to lay down the rules and enforce them. They also look to their fathers to provide a feeling of security, both physical and emotional. Children want to make their fathers proud, and an involved father promotes inner growth and strength.

#what we do in parenting
Through almost every studied culture, fathers have assumed three primary roles: the protector, the provider, and the disciplinarian. Before we discuss each of these roles, it is important to note that in many two-parent families today, mothers are fulfilling these three roles as much as fathers.

#Suppress the tears
Dads play the role of moral compass, protector, provider, teacher, coach, and playmate. For their sons, they model what it's like to be a man, a partner, and a father. For their daughters, they build their girls' self-esteem and teach them which qualities to look for in a healthy, dependable life partner.

#Teach your child to share
As an example, fathers play an important role in a child's mental development. Studies show children who have an involved father tend to have higher IQs than those who do not. This mental development effect tends to begin early on in a child's life.

#teach your child to cross the road
Fathers teach important skills like confidence, resilience, respect and kindness to their children. It is extremely important that as fathers teach their children about values, they also focus on teaching and modeling self-confidence, resilience, respect and kindness.

#Don't condone lies
Although there are many things a girl can learn from her mother (or other women), she needs her dad to guide her in other important areas of her life: love and relationships, finances, general advice, etc.

#Both boys & girls have equal rights
A father is that man who has children and lives up to his responsibilities; he deserves to be called a father.

#Not Strict Rule
However, a 'dad' is someone who listens to their children, is emotionally supportive, and whose children rely on him whenever things go wrong. A 'father', on the other hand, is someone that only pays the bills and takes care of his family's basic needs like food and shelter.

#Leaning beyond book
What is a Disney Dad? A guest post on the National Center for Fathering website by Scott Moore of Building a Better Dad defines a Disney Dad as a “non-custodial parent who indulges his or her child with gifts and good times during visitation and leaves most or all disciplinary responsibilities to the other parent.”

#Keep away from drugs
The father and mother whose DNA a child carries are usually called the child's biological parents. Legal parents have a family relationship to the child by law, but do not need to be related by blood, for example in the case of an adopted child.

#Don't fuss too much
You're carrying extra weight on your shoulders. Whether you are the sole care provider for your children or in a co-parenting relationship, fatherhood is hard and puts extra burdens on you. Your kids need you continuously and you also have work and maybe school deadlines.

#learn to say sorry
In general, the title Father (capitalized) signifies God's role as the life-giver, the authority, and powerful protector, often viewed as immense, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent with infinite power and charity that goes beyond human understanding.

#Don't indulge
Our respondents told us that their fathers were heroes in their commitment to provide for their families, often at great sacrifice. Many fathers work at two or more jobs outside the home to ensure that their families have adequate food and shelter. Fathers also provide us with a sense of safety and protection.

#Keep the promise
But recent research has shown that a father's influence in his daughter's life shapes her self-esteem, self-image, confidence and opinions of men.
