Daddy, My Super Hero

In the eyes of a child, his Dad is his superhero. He is someone he feels so secured with and someone he needs when the going gets tough. A child considers his Dad as someone who could protect him from any harm and could defend him at all cost. A child has such a high expectation on the strength and power of his Dad so that his Dad’s presence gives him the feeling of safety and pride.

A child believes his Dad is someone who could do for him the jobs his Mom could not. When he needs someone to fix his toys, his Dad is there to be his skillful repairman. When he needs someone to play with, his Dad is there to be his enduring playmate. When he needs someone to carry him when the walking has been too long, it is his Dad who serves as his strong carrier. Indeed his Dad is someone he could always count on…. a real superhero.

A Dad’s importance in the life of a child is not in anyway inferior to that of a Mother. A Dad has a very important role to play. He is a stronghold that keeps the child’s heart confident and secure. It is therefore the duty of every Dad to spend more time with their children so that as they grow they will not feel deprived of father’s love and protection. More than these, fathers should serve as good examples to their children. They should be the model of godliness so that their kids will grow in the love and knowledge of the Lord.
