You may want to disagree with me, however, it is a common practice in a society that fathers are most of the time not directly involved in raising the child. Fathers do not feed their children, they don’t clean their children, they don’t wash their child’s clothes. Well, I am not trying to generalize, however, this is what happens in most families.
On the other hand, mothers are directly involved with raising kids. From feeding the baby to cleaning the baby, every responsibly is taken care of by moms.

Daddy Parenting Style Vs. Mommy Parenting Style

Normally, dads bring books for their children. Mom teaches how to read.

Dad brings pets into the house. Mom teaches how to interact with the pet.

Dad teaches how to ride a bicycle, how to drive the car. Mom teaches how to tie the shoelace, how to eat from the plate.

Dads and moms, both have a great role to play to bring up the child. However, in most cases, moms are the ones who are around the children all the time. Since moms are always around, sometimes kids might find this boring, that’s why moms should create special activities to engage children. Likewise, dads might be unavailable when the kids want most. For example, when the child has a football match, he wants his dad to watch him play.

Research tells that kids who are taken care of by dads excel in school and develop problem-solving skills.

Parenting Tips for Dads

Watch him perform: If your child is participating in any competition, attend the event. If he makes it, hug him, kiss him. If he does not make it, praise him for participating.

Take your child to regular medical checkups: You should get all the required vaccines for your child. You also need to take your child to the doctor regularly. Never ignore the health-related complaints.

Encourage physical activities: Research shows that brain development is connected with physical activity. Encourage your children to walk, run, play outdoor games.

Make rules: You need to make rules and make your child strictly follow these rules. The rules for the children can be as simple as “do not litter around” or as complex as “do not talk to the strangers.”

Parenting Tips for Moms

Gossip about your child: It makes more sense when your child finds out that you saying good things about him with the dad, instead of praising him directly.

Don’t fight when your child does not eat: Food fight is very common. If your child does not eat a certain food, offer him another dish or ask him what he wants to eat. If he does not want to eat, let it be. Your child will not starve.

Take care of personal hygiene: Encourage your child to brush teeth, wash his hands and feet, take bath.

Encourage your kids to do creative things: Ask your child to sing, dance, write, draw, play instruments. Creative activities like these will boost his mental capacity.

Teach manners: Children are deft in throwing tantrums. One of the ways to control tantrums is by teaching them manners.

There are also times when the parents don't play the normal gender roles because its the dad who stays home and its the mom who works.

There are also times when the parents don't play the normal gender roles because its the dad who stays home and its the mom who works.

That means automatically the woman becomes the man and the man turns to be the woman in the house. That's how we awe such kind of sitting at home men, which their wives turns out to be the bread winners of the house.

Very much true in many ways. However, at times Dads can also teach kids things that Moms generally do.
Plus a Mom can also attend a child's sports match, if the Dad is busy.

That's correct. But is generally accepted that dads can teach sports, mom can teach table etiquette.

Here is a parenting tip for Moms. DON'T SAY: Wait 'til your father gets home!!

I had a friend who said his wife did not like to take disciplinary action when the children did something wrong. That was HIS JOB!! As a result when he came home from work in the evenings instead of being greeted warmly and happily, his kids would run into their rooms.

He and his wife eventually got that matter straightened.

It is a different story today. Dads are forced into activities hitherto were only handled by Mums. Because Mums are working mothers

A lot of gender-specific roles have changed with changing societies and changing socio-economic conditions. Nowadays, Dads are more involved in parenting than in earlier days. But yes I do agree that even now in most cases the mother is the primary caregiver and fathers are the main providers.

Gender-specific roles have changed. Since dads and moms both have to go to work, they divide the household chores and parenting duties between them. But, just like you say mothers are still the main caregivers and fathers are still the main providers.

Bringing up children should be the sole responsibility for both parents, they should both try to do what the other partner does, that way no one will blame the other for not doing something. This also works well when one of the partners is not around. There is also another thing that i can add teach your kids how to respect people around them.

Your comment brought a smile to my face. My parents played the role of good cop and bad cop, their roles changed frequently, but they were never a good cop or bad cop at the same time.

[Netherrealmer]

Someone should always play the good cop or the kid will remorse both parents and you are right, roles needed to switch once in a while

I don't know whether this is parenting instinct or just something the parents have learned, I don't see the dads and moms becoming too harsh or too liberal at the same time. When one is harsh, another one is always liberal.

One thing parents need to know though, its to not baby talk their teens in front of their friends. It will make their kid resent them. Teens wanted to look cool and many parents do everything unknowingly they make their kids uncool

We all hated our parents when we were young and as we get older, we are laughing at our younger selves and thinking how true our parents were and how wrong we were. Don't you agree?

I mean when we are teens having a heart break over a teenage crush felt like the end of the world

If parents do not have good relationship, it affects their parenting work. If parents do not coordinate, it also affects parenting.

There is a balance, Dont be too lenient but also dont be too strict. Make sure there is always justice and fairness.
