Deep dives
The Role of Fatherhood and the Fear of Rejection
Fathers often fear that their children will stray from faith or make poor life choices, which can lead to controlling parenting behaviors. This hyper-religious mindset may cause kids to see their father more as a tyrant than a loving authority figure. As a result, the fear of rejection can actually foster rebellion in children rather than obedience and respect. When fathers harbor anxiety about their children’s actions, such fears can diminish their confidence and the respect they receive from their kids.
