Sheltering Kids from the World
It is important for fathers to shelter their children from the scariness and stress of the world. This is exemplified by John F. Kennedy's lack of knowledge about the Great Depression, despite living through it as a teenager. Although it may seem sweet to protect children from such experiences, it is also necessary to teach them how good they have it. Fathers have the responsibility of being a buffer for their kids, keeping unnecessary stress away and allowing them to enjoy their childhood.
The Role of Fathers
The main job of fathers is to provide and care for their children, shielding them from the storms of life. Fathers should focus on solving problems and creating a supportive environment, while letting their kids be kids. It is crucial for fathers to not burden their children with the weight of the world and ensure that unnecessary stress is kept away. Instead, fathers should bear the responsibility alongside their spouse and support network.
