Father and mother play different roles in the development of children's gender roles. But the role of father seems to be greater than that of mother, especially for boys. The father gave the boy a direct example, and the girl felt safe. Many studies have found that a boy who lost his father before the age of 4 will make him less aggressive and more feminine. If a girl loses her father before the age of five, she will be anxious, shy or at a loss when she comes into contact with boys in adolescence. Therefore, fathers played an important role in the formation of children's gender roles in this period.
The formation of father's influence on children's personality, the main form of father's interaction with children is game. In the process of playing games, the father is in close contact with the children, making them behave positively and excitedly. Children like this way, like this kind of communication, he will slowly show his confidence and the happiness brought by the game. Of course, if children play games at their parents' home, they can learn to care about others in the game with their mothers, learn to be gentle and kind, and learn to be strong, adventurous, enthusiastic and optimistic in the game with their fathers.
In this way, the combination of the two aspects has been initially formed, and the child's relatively perfect personality foundation. Father's influence on children's cognitive development Children often learn language, life knowledge or the use of things from their mothers in daily communication, while fathers often use sports homework, such as repairing cars, machinery, using tools and gardening. Let children be more interested in hands-on operation, thus stimulating their exploration spirit, imagination, creativity and curiosity. Some psychologists point out that the time a father spends with his children is directly proportional to their IQ.
