Good parenting is the clue for successful and happy children, but sadly in many countries the father´s role is highly  underrated and  misunderstood.  He is supposed to be the head of the family, the main provider and, what is worse,  he is expected to be the one to discipline his kids with punishment and often times by spanking or belting them.  How many times is he welcomed home after a hard day at work with complaints about his kids?  This is most unfair.

Speaking from a woman´s point of view, we need our father´s full approval in order to hold our own in a World were half of the population are male.  Our Dad is the first man in our life; his unquestioned approval  will help us like and love ourselves and what is more important, to demand respect from others.

Sons tend to repeat their father´s behaviour.  So a good example will create a new generation of good  husbands, fathers,  friends and citizens.

To all those fathers whose goal is to have honest, hard-working, respectful and loving children, we send our warmest  wishes for a very happy Father´s Day.
