A father can teach his son how to live – something no one else can. A father can teach his son through examples, through experiences, memories that would stand the test of time, and prove to be priceless.
Here are 8 things a son learns from his father, which are invaluable:
Failures are Important Too
It is pretty much given that the son’s first playmate would be his father. Whether it is soccer, baseball, or basketball, it would always begin with his father. This would give them ample time to bond over, and in their friendly little duel, the son would learn the importance of both success and failure. He would learn from his father that failure is important too. For it would keep one grounded and would enable them to analyze their mistakes and learn from them.
How To Behave With A Woman
Considering the present frame of society, it is very important that one learns how to aptly behave with women. In this case, though the son’s mother or his female teachers at school would teach him how to behave from a womanly point of view, it is evident that he would learn from his father the male point of view, something he would relate to because they share the same gender. The father should take his son along with him to a store run by women and the son can learn by example how to properly and decently behave with women.
Love
No one can teach a man how to deal with love better than his own father. The same blood flows through their veins and it is quite prudent that they would both have quite the same experiences. Nevertheless, it’s the father who would teach his son about the ways of the heart, how to be dedicated, loyal, how to know he is in love, and how to deal with a broken heart.
Stand For What is Right
Only a father can teach his son to never back down from a fight. Mothers can be emotional and too caring about their children, but a father would never allow the son to lose face in a fight. He would teach his son what is right or wrong, and how to deal with provocation. He would teach him how to stand for what is right, to fight for respect, and how to steal that respect from others. A father can teach his son bravery and courage. No one else can.
