Below are 8 things that many fathers often equip their sons with life skills.
Treat women well
It would be great if the son learned important things about women from his father, not from his friends or the Internet. The father could take his son along when buying flowers for his wife, take him shopping with him and politely talk to the cashier so that the son will not hesitate to interact with unfamiliar women.
Victory and defeat
The presence of the father will make the child stronger and more masculine. Through many games with the father's participation, the child will feel the joy of winning and realize how much effort he must make to win.
Besides, failure is inevitable. If you fall, your father will guide you to get up and keep going. There is nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about.
Energy
Father is the only person who can teach his children to be steadfast in life and recognize right from wrong, show them who are dangerous people around them and avoid contact with them or know how to fight back when in danger.
Find a perspective on life
This is a great life skill that a father can teach his son. He doesn’t even have to do anything special, just be there and talk to his son. The child needs to understand that not only his mother is the one who can listen to his feelings, but his father is also the one who can listen to his feelings.
With the help of the father, the child will see many similarities and from there form his own concept when perceiving and evaluating problems in life.
Share love stories
For a growing teenage boy, it would be a great gift if his father shared about his first love and first dates. From there, he will realize, he should not rush because waiting for the beautiful girl will create the spark in love.
Help your child experience
Unlike mothers who love to cuddle and caress, fathers prefer to juggle their babies or do more adventurous things. Boys are very excited to experience many new senses including sight, hearing and touch in a new space.
Self-reliance
Your son can easily find out how to tie a tie, shave, iron a shirt online. But it would be much better if he learned those things from his father. Teach your son how to cook a meal, at least that way he can take care of himself when you are not around.
Cultivate many life skills
The more skills and tricks a guy has in life, the more attractive he will be to women, for example, how to make fire, cook, fix light bulbs, fix cars...
As mentioned above, there are many issues that fathers can support their children better than mothers, especially when it comes to cultivating life skills and sharing emotions.
