Certainly, a definition of a father is necessary this day!

Being a present father plays a crucial role in the holistic development of a child.

A father's active involvement in their child's life positively influences their emotional, social, and cognitive development. Children with present fathers tend to exhibit higher levels of self-esteem and confidence as they feel supported and valued. This presence helps in building a secure attachment, which can reduce anxiety and lead to better mental health outcomes throughout their lives.

Moreover, a father's involvement goes beyond just being physically present. It includes engaging in meaningful interactions, such as sharing meals, playing, helping with homework, and attending important events. These activities create lasting memories and foster a deep bond between father and child. This bond is essential for the child’s sense of stability and security, providing a reliable foundation as they navigate the complexities of growing up.

Additionally, being a present father sets a powerful example for children. It teaches them about the importance of responsibility, empathy, and respect in relationships. Boys learn how to treat others with kindness and respect, while girls gain a model for what to expect in their future relationships. In essence, a present father not only nurtures the immediate well-being of his children but also shapes their future, ensuring they grow into well-rounded, confident, and compassionate individuals. - Mirelle Wong-Cardoso

What and how we think shapes the very fabric of our realities. If there is a constant negative narrative going on inside your head, it becomes challenging to find joy in real-life scenarios. By switching up the way you think about things, you can fully appreciate your life.

Processing your feelings is challenging at times, but definitely rewarding! Often we sit with emotions that we don't quite understand - expressing these emotions allows us to make sense of the emotional and physical sensations we experience.

Lets put your puzzle together! Contact me if you're feeling stuck and unable to make sense of your feelings.

Each day you have the choice to approach situations from two places... Fear and Calm.
A mind steeped in fear makes snap judgements and is reactionary. A mind filled with calm sees situations holistically and responds appropriately.

It's time to start seeing the bigger picture! Try meditation, journalling, taking a walk or cooking a nutritious meal.

If you need assistance in creating calm in your life, message me and we can work together to get you onto the right path.
