Features: The desire for children to succeed has always been the greatest wish of all parents. But since ancient times, raising children has seemed to be the responsibility of mothers. People have long held many outdated, even wrong, notions about the role of fathers in educating their children. For example: when children are too young and don't understand much, it's enough to just make sure they are well-fed and clothed; that's the mother's job, and fathers can wait until the children are older to step in; fathers are too busy with work, so mothers can handle daily life and studies; if there's something important, fathers can step in then; she's a girl, and fathers shouldn't get too close to her—let the mother take charge more. This book challenges the traditional model where child-rearing is primarily the mother's responsibility and proposes solutions. From the father's perspective, it explains how fathers should think about various challenges in parenting, how to communicate with their children, and how to make the most of their unique positions at home and in their children's eyes. At the same time, for wives, instead of complaining about their husbands not being involved in childcare, it's better to create more opportunities for them to participate. This not only benefits the child's growth but also strengthens the marital relationship. The book is lively in language, delicate in emotion, and illustrated, making it a valuable resource for young parents.
