Should Fathers Be Involved In His Child's Schooling?

The answer is a big YES. Responsibility of children is always placed on a mother's shoulders which is quite understandable because children spend most of their times with moms than dads. This might be wrong in the West or America as mostly there,both parents work if not full-time, part-time.

Though mothers play a major role in a child's upbringing, fathers should be encouraged to be involved in the child's every matter and the matter I would highlight here is Education.

Mostly fathers tend to relax on a lot of matters related to their children as they are confident that they are being taken care of by mothers. True. But not always right. I think fathers should be equally involved special regarding schooling.

Children whose fathers are very much involved in their education have a successful outcomes as compared to children who are not getting the same attention.

Reasons as to why fathers should start taking interest in their kids' education :

1. Makes the father-child bond stronger.

2. Complete the shortcomings of the partner(wife) incase there are any. Mothers are humans and sometimes tend to neglect things unintentionally which can later be corrected by father.

3. Father will have awareness of what the child is learning from school and can always make it a point if he finds anything he doesn't like rather than blaming the wife at the end if the day for not telling him about what so ever.

4. Children feel very secure getting both parents' attention.

5. The child will always take his studies seriously even as a grown up as he knows that mother and father are there watching him and are having great expectations.

These are the top five of the few reasons I observed closely. Hope you would start thinking.

So ladies encourage your husbands, and guys, start opening your kid's books now and teach them something. :)
