The New Dads

There is no doubt that in a home both mom and dad are equally important. For it is this combination that makes the balance between all that the kids have learned and are about to learn in life. The figure of the father, although it is conceived as a figure of authority, little sentimentality or only economic, serves as a basis for good decision making and for the security of the family.

A new model of father has been born: he is no longer the only one who contributes financially to the family, and therefore the mother is no longer the only one who raises children or provides them affectively. It's a two-way job. New dads are just as affectionate and affectionate providers of love and affection in the home.

Regularly men are a bit more strategic and once they set a goal, they don't hesitate to achieve it. The goal of a good father is to grow his family in an environment full of love and security, a goal he shares with the mother, who with her strength, big heart and tenderness create together the perfect home.

The young people of the new generation, especially boys, should not necessarily see in the dad a rivalry or a conflict, as long as commitments and household rules are mutually respected, and there is always a complicity. For we can not forget that being parents and children is not an opposite, it is about generating a friendship, respecting the points of each to always reach an agreement.

"Fathers are the ones who contribute the most in the motor development of the child, because of the type of games they tend to do with them; they help them to go out into the world and in the process of "weaning" of the mother, and they are also a model of masculine identification for boys, and a model of differentiation for girls," explains Francisca Morales, in charge of the Early Childhood Development Area of UNICEF Chile.

Father's Day is a day to commemorate the work of dedicated, strong, resilient and ambitious men in creating the best possible home. There is no perfect home anywhere in the world, but there are perfectly functional homes, where both children and fathers live together harmoniously and peacefully. Today it is known that a child with more than one parent figure or people who provide love, is a child who grows up with a more solid foundation to face life and its problems.

So if this is your case, if at your side rests an exemplary man, dad of your children or your own dad, it's time to embrace him and communicate those reasons of pride you feel to see a warm and safe home for you and your family.

Thank you to the new dads!
