Child Left Fatherless
Children have a tendency to pull into themselves and
often show signs of depression. There are several scenarios that cause a child
to live a life without a father and each of them can cause problems that may
vary greatly from one another. As a parent it is hard to see your child affected
by losing a dad especially when you had the perfect happy child and now
everything has changed.
What can I Do?
It is frustrating as you might have tried many different things
to improve the quality of your childs life without seeing any change what so
ever. The wrong thing to do is to give the child everything they ask for and
give into their pouting or yelling just to see them temporarily happy. As a
parent "No means No", and it is best to spend time with your child then to let
your child hide out in their room or vanish to a friends house almost every day.
Read Books about Fatherless Children
Reading books on the subject of Children without a dad, Growing up without a dad,
and other books designed to teach and share the experiences of others can help you
handle the situations without your children in a more healthier fashion. It is important for
you to understand what your child is feeling and also to learn where your short commings
are from parenting them alone.
Books for Children
What I love about books designed for children without a
father is how they show the child that they are not alone. The books will point
out that many other kids don't have a father in their life and are written to
show that child it's not their fault Daddy is not around. Children at a young
age can easily be positively influenced by these books and in the long run
reading them can prevent them harm from suffering from depression or anxieties.
We often as parents try to shelter our children from the situation but the fact
is they need to get their feelings out instead of burying them deep within their
minds.
Using Books to prevent Mental Health Problems
Kids at a young age can absorb
what thay read and see and as they do their minds will adjust. They just need to
put the pieces back in place that are scattered within their minds. It's like a
jigsaw puzzle with the pieces all over the table. When they start reading the
pieces will start to piece themselves together and their feelings and emotions
will start to become clearer the more they read. Eventually all their questions
will be answered, all their feelings addressed, and their future changed as
their lonliness and guilt will be eliminated.
Child Importance
It is so very critical for a child to feel important and
needed by you and their father. Unfortunately if their father is not around or a
part of their life then it is solely up to you to offer more love and attention
to compensate with what they are missing from their father. It is also important
if the father is around but not in their life that you make every attempt to get
him involved with your child. Your child should be the most important thing in
your life and some sacrificing must be made to help give your child the life
that he or she deserves.
Sacrifice for your Children
Sacrificing may include driving your children to their fathers house, dialing
the phone and talking to their dad to address your childrens needs, meeting with
your ex and having a heart felt conversation of what your children need from
him. You may have some emotional baggage of your own and may not want to talk to
your ex, but not talking you will eventually cause your children harm. So stop
blaming him for everything and start to become a part of the solution. Reach out
as much as possible and sacrifice for the good of your children.
A Poem to Read about a Mans Divorce
The poem in this link about a mans divorce shows his confusion, sadness, and the things a husband and wife may go through when getting a divorce. What most people don't understand is what the children go through as they are vollied back and fourth between both parents. Confusion often fills their mind and so does an anxiety and sadness. Often older children get angry and take it out on unsuspecting kids of their own age. Please take time to read this wonderfully written poem and feel the sadness it expresses. The Chosen One
