Trying to balance your dynamic presence in the family with your personal career ambitions? Daddy cool! Whether behind the coffee counter or the HR department, when you’re a dad, your role is always demanding. Besides, being a dad isn’t just about protecting the family or ensuring their financial security. To the contrary, the modern dad is a dynamic figure that inspires trust and takes up an active role in bringing up the kids. Their relationships, the development of their personalities and their emotional stability are always inextricably linked with the dedication and commitment of the father.
Tenderness brings stability
Every daughter longs for her dad’s love and warmth. He acts as a role model for her future partner and teaches her about what it means to have a healthy relationship. Or an unhealthy one for that matter. That’s why a devoted and active father can have a great impact on how happy his daughter becomes. Therefore, the love, tenderness, energy and care a dad offers his daughter, to a degree affects her future and emotional stability.
Fact: According to psychology research published in 2014, the dads that are more involved with house chores are likely to raise daughters who are more ambitious.
The feeling of approval
In much the same way, the father also acts as a role model for the son. A young boy, even from a tender age, tries to attract the attention of his dad and subconsciously tends to mimic his virtues and flaws. In any case, the son seeks the approval of his dad and the father must be patient enough to cope with his son’s whimsies. The father should be willing to praise and encourage his son’s “wild” tendencies. In fact, it has been proven that fathers that encourage their kids and play with them, help them develop more smoothly and confidently.
Fact:Men turned to dads, started performing better at work and increased their income the year their child was born. Could it be that a secret for a successful career lies in the family?
A working dad
Of course we weren’t waiting for Father’s Day to listen to stories from working dads, as every moment, wherever they are, they’re talking about their kids. What have we learned? How do their kids see them, how did they decide to enter the coffee industry and do their kids understand what they do for a living?
That’s how we learned of lovely stories like the daughter whose dad had a pleasing scent of coffee when he got back home from work each day. And such stories make us happy. Why? Because our goal is for the work of dads to not get in the way of their family and to have positively impact their kids. And that’s how we debunk the notion that a dad with a career usually can’t be as engaged with his family. Likewise, we wouldn’t want a woman putting her family second after her career.
In Coffee Island, many have been inspired by their dads. From the old, traditional coffee houses their parents owned, they stepped up and became part of our family, as a way of continuing their own family’s traditions. “My dad used to own a coffee shop. I grew up with that aroma. It was only natural for me to get into coffee. That’s the impact that dads have on their sons. Or the impact a grandad has on his grandson: “My grandad had been an old coffee maker for 17 years. The first thing I remember about him? Everything smelled like coffee! His car, his clothes, his house, everything. It reminds us of ourselves. We are the ones who smell like coffee. We might not notice it but the people around us do.”
The world’ s best dad
That’s every dad’s goal. For the father who always stands by his kids, respects and actively engages with the daily life of the family. So, what’s the best gift for him? The success and happiness of his kids!
Happy Father’s Day to all dads!
