Fathers Day Wishes

Canada Day is an opportunity to gather in our communities, from coast to coast to coast, and to proudly celebrate all we have in common. It is an opportunity to celebrate our achievements, which were born in the audacious vision and shared values of our ancestors, and which are voiced in nearly all of the languages of the world through the contribution of new Canadians.

Canada Day is a time to celebrate the heritage passed down to us through the works of our authors, poets, artists and performers. It is a time to rejoice in the discoveries of our scientific researchers, in the success of our entrepreneurs, and to commemorate our history — a history in which each new chapter reveals itself to be more touching, more fascinating than the last.

As we look ahead, we have every reason to face the future with confidence and enthusiasm.

Let's celebrate Canada!

Young children often seem to just accept things the way they are. But by four or five, children are starting to think for themselves about whom and what they are, and they are also starting to think about their parents in a different way. This may be partly because starting school brings them into contact with many different people and new ways of seeing things. At this age, children start to be much more aware of their own wishes and needs, and their growing independence also shows in them getting firmer views about what they expect of their parents.

But what do children of this age really want from their parents? What do they want them to be; friends, helpers, role models, providers, comforters, judges, counsellors, cooks, taxi drivers or just to be there for them?

When I started building the ‘Best Dad, Best Mum’ materials and 2005 series survey, I thought that I had better find out what research had been done into what five-year-old children say they want their parents to be. So I did all the right things, I did a literature search, I asked around my colleagues and I Googled. So what did I find? Would you believe me if I said ‘nothing’? Because that is indeed what I found. Although lots of research has been done into what children need from their parents to support their development, and a lot of research has been done into what is harmful for children, there was a resounding silence from children themselves. Somehow, no-one has yet thought of systematically finding out what children themselves want in the way of parenting.

Perhaps our Child of Our Time survey, ‘Best Dad, Best Mum’, is going to launch a new line of research in this area. At the time of writing this essay, the results are already beginning to look interesting. Looking at the results across all age ranges, and there have been over one thousand responses so far, ‘being there for me’ and being ‘trusted’ are the most important features of both mums and dads alike. It is also important for mums to ‘comfort and hug’ whereas it is more important for dads to ‘talk with me’.

But there are also differences emerging between children of different ages as well as differences between boys’ and girls’ expectations. What about the children closest in age to our CooT children?

4-year-olds most want dads to play and talk with them, while they most want mums to be there for them and comfort them.

5-year-olds want dads to be there for them and to praise them, while they want mums still to comfort them, but also to be trusted.

6-year-olds still want dads to be there for them, but also to earn money, and although they also want mums to be there for them and still to be trusted, they also want praise from them.

Although boys in this age range are not as interested as girls are in mums comforting them, they are even keener than girls on mums being there for them, reading to them and being clever.

When it comes to dads, boys seem more interested in dads mucking about, being trusted and reading to them than girls do. Girls, though, put dads comforting them, giving them nice food and treats as more important features than do boys.

So, already by this age, children are beginning to develop different expectations of male and female parents. But perhaps it is important also to stress the similarities. The differences between ages, and between boys and girls are not astronomical. What all the young children share, is a wish for parents to be emotionally close and involved with them. One way of putting this, even if it is in more adult terms, is that children want to feel secure in their relationships with their parents. Particular things seem to express closeness for children: things like being comforted, being read to and, to use a modern phrase, ‘being there for them’.
