ROLES OF A FATHER
PROTECTOR
!! This
role encompasses our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual protection. !! As children we particularly need protection, and we need to have our values, purities, and our honor protected into adulthood. !! A father not only protects his children from harm, but protects their hearts and minds as well.
PROVIDER
!! One
of our more instinctual roles of a father. !! A father initially provides necessities. !! Creates an environment for growth through love and encouragement. !! We look to our fathers to provide for us what we may not be able to provide for ourselves while teaching us how to eventually become independent.
COUNSELOR
!! A
father is a guide. !! He directs his children toward the path in life that promises to fit them best. !! A father who has his child's best interest in mind will gain the trust of his child as a counselor. !! This where the "sacred no" and the "sacred yes" come in.
FRIEND
!! It
is said that a child learns how to interact with others on the lap of a father. !! We seek a sort of friendship with our father that teaches us what friendship is. !! A healthy friendship with a father gives us boundaries and helps us understand what is safe and what is not.
RULES OF THUMB
!! If
your father failed you in any of these roles, then you will be searching to compensate for that deficiency in other relationships. !! If your father failed to give you a good model, then you will have to work hard to compensate for that poor modeling as you raise your own children. We tend to do what we've seen modeled.
ROLES OF A MOTHER
MOTHER
!! Manager
and treasurer of the family. !! She supervises and coordinates the household tasks, takes care of the children, prepares the family budget, plans and prepares the family meals. !! Today, mothers also help earn a living to increase the family income.
