Research shows that the love and care of fathers is equally important for the health and well-being of children as mother-love. Children are WAY better off when their relationship with their father is sensitive, secure, and supportive as well as close, nurturing, and warm.
Fathers are happier parents than mothers, new study shows. A study of 18,000 people shows that fathers experience more well-being from parenthood than mothers. Past studies have considered whether people with children have greater well-being than people without children. They do.
Mothers Remain the Dominant Influence
The most recent numbers show 28% of adult children saying their father was the more influential parent, compared to 22% in 1951. Even so, both in 1951 and presently, Americans continue to be more likely to say that mothers were the dominant influence in their lives.Growing up without a father could permanently alter the structure of the brain and produce children who are more aggressive and angry, scientists have warned. Children brought up only by a single mother have a higher risk of developing 'deviant behaviour', including drug abuse, new research suggests.
Mothers do more managing and organizing
In fact, fathers' involvement in this component of parenting has lagged behind gains in their direct involvement in caring for their children. In other words, mothers are more likely to make child care arrangements, schedule doctors' appointments and sign the permission slips.While mothers and fathers are both physical with their children, fathers are typically physical in different ways. Fathers tend to play with their children, and mothers tend to care for them. Fathers are rough, while mothers are gentle. Fathers encourage competition; mothers encourage equity.
According to my point of view parents always more influence the child than the teachers because parents are always in touch to their child and child learn more things than teachers. If you ask to any child what would you want to be then many child say they will be like their parents.
You probably noticed your preschooler's unique personality peeking out those first few months of life --reaching eagerly for a rattle or perhaps pushing away a teddy bear. But between the ages of 3 and 5, your child's personality is really going to emerge.

4 Cognitive Stages for Child Development
- Sensorimotor Stage: Birth through about 2 years. During this stage, children learn about the world through their senses and the manipulation of objects.
- Preoperational Stage: Ages 2 through 7.
- Concrete Operational Stage: Ages 7 through 11.

Several factors are vital to the probability that children will develop resilience in the face of adversity:
- Positive relationships between children and adults.

The effects of bad parenting on the children include antisocial behavior, poor resilience, depression, and aggression. Frequent poor parenting decisions can have a harmful outcome through childhood and beyond. Understanding and recognizing bad parental decisions can help parents make the best decisions for their child.
First of all, they create the life and mix the genes. Children do inherit some traits from their parents. Then, parents create the environment that the child is raised in, and heavily influence intelligence and personality by the ways they interact with the child.

These parenting styles fall into a generally accepted four broad categories. Though different researchers give different names to them, the styles usually are said to be: Authoritarian, Authoritative, Permissive, and Uninvolved.
A child's learning and socialization are most influenced by their family since the family is the child's primary social group. Child development happens physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually during this time.
Parents and caregivers offer their children love, acceptance, appreciation, encouragement, and guidance. They provide the most intimate context for the nurturing and protection of children as they develop their personalities and identities and also as they mature physically, cognitively, emotionally, and socially.
