practice of what it means to be a father. As a father, your son needs to see compassion, kindness, friendship and many more qualities in you. A son

will be a disciplined man when he learns discipline from father. Let us look closely at the characteristics that make it successful for raising a great husband and father.

How to raise a great husband and father.

Compassion:

Firstly, a compassionate trait emphasizes care for the welfare of another. In a fathers daily dealings , the son must be able to see the father’s ability to

show concern for another. There is often a demand for boys not to show pain because it is a sign of weakness. No it is not. Allow your son experience

your display of sympathy for someone else in pain. Please do show concern and care for another, do not trivialize another person’s agony, for

it tells a lot about you. Show compassion to the mother of your children and raise the boys into great husbands. Mum can be tired and down, how do

you respond? Do you lash out at her in anger for not putting food out in time? How do you respond to if Mum is begging for money to register for

antenatal clinic? Do you humiliate her to show her you are the head? A compassionate husband raises a compassionate husband from his son.

Discipline:

Secondly, a Father models discipline. The key to discipline is good relationship with son. Most times, people relate discipline to punishment.

These are two different things. Correction is more successful when it is not linked to pain nor fear. Therefore, it is more effective to use positive

modules . You cannot, for example , be punitive towards your teenager for coming home late or drinking excessively when Dad keeps late nights , and

lays in a drunken stupor most times. If you do drugs, be certain your sons will, similarly, your children will have passion for pornography as you do

because they will see it in your devices and believe it’s the way to go. Discipline works better with long lasting positive examples are clear

communication lines. Fathers that have built deep, close relationships with their sons achieve better standards of discipline. Your son mirrors you. Search yourself and sincerely evaluate what you do.

Integrity:

Thirdly, a father must model integrity. A dependable father shows up as he promises and this helps build trust in the relationship. Therefore, let your

sons see you do the right things in all circumstances. Do insist and be consistent in your value system. Pay back money you are owing and not ask

the children to lie to debtors. Also, integrity is honesty and for you to raise a father and husband, you must show examples of honesty and

truthfulness. A father’s word must be his bond, consequently, your sons emulate your ethics.

Guardianship:

Fourthly, raise sons that provide protection as future fathers and husbands. You can do this by being a protective father to them and a protective

husband to their mother. The father’s presence at home translates to security for the entire family. In fact a father serves as a protector. Most

children feel safe when their father is around them and so do Mothers. Additionally, fathers protect their sons from being molested at home. This

will be possible if father participates in activities with the son. The boy child is under threat of destruction by predators that lurk in the homes. An

attentive father is that one that notices the vulnerability of his sons and protects him.https://familyfaculties.com/2020/05/26/abuse-of-the-boy-child/

Provision:

Furthermore, fathers are the providers in the home. Today we note a breed of fathers who run away from the responsibilities of providing for their

families. Also, women are now struggling to be sole breadwinners, as a result, conflict of headship and disrespect ensues.This is a disturbing trend

because they will in return raise fathers and husbands that will not provide for theirs. It is not only material provision that a father gives, he provides

sound ideas and guides the children on a path to success. He also provides his children with knowledge that will help them secure themselves in

situations like sexual abuse. https://familyfaculties.com/2020/06/17/securing-children-from-sexual-abuse/ When children observe a fathers act of achievements, he is motivated towards that same path.
