Kamel El Adad… The relationship between fathers and their children clearly has a deep impact on the children’s healthy development in all domains, including language, way of thinking, and social-emotional life. It's very important that fathers try their best to be involved in their children's lives, as this involvement will positively affect the children's overall development in many areas such as academic achievement, and behavioral, social, psychological, and cognitive outcomes.
This was obviously explained in the "Kamel Al Adad" series with Laila's (Dina El-Sherbeny) father. Her father's effort to always connect with his daughters was clearly shown. He also plays a key role in her opinion about men; although she got divorced two times, however, she never got disappointed by the idea of loving a man as she was searching for the right man. This obviously goes back to the picture of men in her mind that her dad inspired her with; he proved to her that men could be trusted, but you gotta choose the right one carefully.
He also gave Ahmed (Sherif Salama), his daughter's third husband, amazing advice on how to deal with his kids, telling him to be their friend, talk with them, and be involved in their lives. He explained that kids have a great sense, and they can tell if someone is truly loving them or wanting to be close to them, so in this case they will open up with their father and get attached to him, as secure attachments will absolutely have positive effects on children. Children who are securely attached do better at everything. This totally shows that fathers have a great impact on their childrens psychological development.
How to Bond With Your Son Who Lives With His Father?
Let's check out the things that every father should do with his children
Quality time
Sometimes work may absorb you, but don’t let that stop you from being with your children. Try to find space to do things together; you can go watch a movie, go out to a café, or watch their favorite show. Time flies by, so don't miss a moment to stay with your children. I know it's a hard thing to succeed at this balance between your work and your family, but try to talk to them or sit with them for at least an hour a day. Let them talk to you about what happened to them during the day. Even you can tell them about your day or a situation that happened to you that may be beneficial for them to learn from.
Listen carefully to your children
As I mentioned before, children have a great sense, and they can sense your true intentions. So, while sitting with your children, try to really listen to them and pay attention to what they are saying, even if it is something that is not so important. They may tell you about something they saw or about their friends; either way, please give them your attention to everything they are saying. By doing so, they will know that you care about them and they will trust you.
Let them know how valuable they are
Don’t miss the opportunity to tell your children that they are intelligent, talented, and perfect just the way they are. Encourage them and tell them that they are capable of anything they put their mind to; let them believe in themselves and know that nothing can limit their abilities. This way, you feed their confidence in themselves.
Get to know them
Some fathers leave this to the mothers; however, this should not happen as their role in knowing their children is equally important as the mothers. You have to work on knowing everything about your children, from the things they love to the places they like to go to and their friends. Inquire about their personal situation. Those details will help you get to know your children and get involved in their lives.

Father and daughter
This is a very important thing that we have to shed light on. Since the father is his daughter's first reference to a male figure. You have to prove this to her first by showing respect towards her mother, regardless of whether you are a happy couple or not. Secondly, you have to show her the real meaning of what a responsible, loving, and caring man can be. As we mentioned above, this has a great impact on a girl's future choice of partner.
The figure of the father who only complains about what his children did, the one who only works to get money for the house and does not get involved, needs to be totally changed. As a father, you should work hard to strengthen your relationship with your children, get involved in parenting, as this has a great impact on them, and help them become strong, confident people.
