Many fathers often use the excuse of being busy with work to neglect the responsibility of raising and nurturing their children, leaving all the burden to the mother. When the child misbehaves, the father blames the mother without realizing that his lack of involvement in raising the child is a major cause of their misbehavior.
However, research and social surveys have clearly demonstrated the role of fathers. Education experts say that if the father possesses the following characteristics, the children will become more outstanding. Those are patience
When children are young, they will inevitably make mistakes or lack patience in learning. For example, many children, when doing homework, encounter a difficult problem and instead of thinking further, they simply skip it. Or when playing with building blocks, if they can’t assemble them after a few tries, they become frustrated, throw away the Lego, and stop playing.
Many fathers, upon seeing this, will scold and say: “Why are you so dumb? You can’t even solve a simple problem” or “Next time, I won’t buy you any toys anymore. If you can’t play properly, what’s the point?”,… Many fathers don’t bother to observe what their children are learning or playing because they feel exhausted from working all day and just want to rest. Many parents come home and only sit and watch TV or play games on their phones.
But if a child is raised by a patient father, their IQ and EQ will be higher. A patient father rarely scolds or raises his voice at the child, but always remains calm and smiles. Whenever the child makes a mistake or faces difficulties, the father will patiently explain and guide them.
If the child doesn’t understand after one explanation, the patient father will repeat it a few more times. The father always takes the time to pay attention to what the child is learning, what they are interested in, in order to approach and teach them effectively.
Thanks to this, the child will always be ready to learn, not afraid to admit their ignorance or mistakes to their parents. As a result, the child will make progress in their studies, and most importantly, they will enjoy learning. A child nurtured in this way will not only have a high IQ but also have a promising future.
Patience is not a grand or intimidating virtue, but when applied to parenting, fathers can make their children’s lives much brighter.
