Father’s Role in Child Development

Research indicates that fathers are important for healthy child development. Physicians, teachers and educators should make efforts to involve fathers in the care of children and provide role modeling where possible.

A small learning activity generates stimulation among children and fathers. This stimulation creates further curiosity in raising questions and finding the answers.  These sorts of activities helps children feel secured physically, socially, emotionally, and intellectually.

Therefore, its important for educators, community mobilizers, field motivators to engage fathers in small activities with their children.  It will bring joy in working together, sharing and solving problems together. When this happens, fathers can play a significant role in their children’s development.
