Since ancient times in China, there has been a saying that “in a family with a thousand members, there is one person in charge”. From a mental health perspective, the positive significance of this ancient maxim is that it establishes the authority of the key players in the family and gives the “person in charge” the opportunity to convey messages of consistent meaning. Thus, the presence of such an authoritative role in a family is an important condition for maintaining family stability. Because adult males are more emotionally stable than adult females, and because older people are more behaviorally and emotionally stable than younger people, it is generally more appropriate for more mature adult males to assume the primary decision-making role in the family. For the modern nuclear family, it is clear that only the father can take on this role. In addition to the fact that adult males are more emotionally and behaviorally stable than their female counterparts, adult males also have a longer-term perspective on pursuing their goals than females, and endurance behaviors for long-term benefits, such as the need for a life of patience and courage, are more likely to be found in mature male individuals. In terms of the constancy and stability of a child’s educational model, it is clear that fathers are more likely to be able to perform this task. Thus, in most cases, fathers tend to be more principled and consistent in their approach to their children’s education. In addition, the fact that adult males have a much lower risk of depression or anxiety than adult females is also one of the favorable conditions for fathers to take on the education of their children. Finally, it is most important to emphasize that behavioral traits such as aggression, predation, and risk-taking are better preserved in males, who are also more likely to exhibit qualities of bravery and calmness in real life, and whose education of their children is led by them is most likely to pass on these good qualities to their children. Of course, men with these behavioral traits and qualities are at lower risk of overprotecting their children and are more likely to transmit positive cognitive and response patterns to their children, resulting in better social adjustment. Individuals with such behavioral styles are likely to survive better in the fierce competition of modern society. Fathers can transmit boldness, confidence and determination to their children in a way that is difficult for anyone else to do. The reason for this may be, on the one hand, because of the tall, wise, perfect and authoritative image of the father formed in the minds of his children, so that their children will obey their father’s education even if they are blind, and on the other hand, the kinship and trust between parent and child, which is thicker than water, will make their children willing to obey their father’s instructions. Therefore, only a child who consistently receives boldness, confidence and determination from his father is likely to reach a relatively good level of mental health and be less prone to anxiety, panic and pessimism. In a family, the father as a male animal, due to biological and traditional factors, if he takes on the burden of leading the education of his children, he will place more value on his responsibility to teach his children by word and example, and will hold himself to a higher standard in terms of moral character, which will also be conducive to a man’s ability to become a good man and a good father in the moral sense of the word. This is one of the essential conditions for a harmonious family. As a male animal, a father is more likely to have guts and insights, and is also more likely to convey to his children a behavior that is bold enough to challenge, fight, win and take responsibility. I remember watching Li Yunlong, the protagonist of the TV series “Bright Sword”, and thinking that such a wild enough man must not have been raised by a mother-dominated education model. Moreover, because fathers have the biological and psychological characteristics of male animals to take risks and underestimate risks, it is easier for them to “let go” in the process of leading the education of their children. By “letting go,” we mean allowing children to explore the unknown in nature and human society without interfering. Due to the innate curiosity of children and teenagers and their good nature and ability to learn new things, they continue to increase their knowledge of nature and human society in the exploration, and can gradually learn to correctly identify, discover, and deal with the risks and dilemmas they are currently facing, and can gradually learn the ways and means to achieve their goals and strive for success, which makes it easier for them to form a good adaptation to nature and society. It is also easier to develop the ability to adapt to nature and society. “Letting go” means letting children learn to adapt to the environment through self-exploration, or “learning how to swim”. In addition, the fact that fathers take the lead in educating their children reflects, to a certain extent, their authoritative position in the family, which is also meaningful in maintaining the stability of the family and marriage. For thousands of years, traditional society has given men the role model that men bear the responsibility of earning money to support the family, and it is only natural for them to occupy a corresponding position of authority and dominance in the family, which will naturally form a stereotype in their psyche: this family, especially the offspring, will rely on me to create and obtain resources for survival, and I have to work hard. This kind of stereotype not only enhances his self-esteem and self-confidence, but also strengthens his sense of responsibility for the family. Moreover, such a male will have a corresponding sense of honor, is the backbone of the family, not easy to the family or marriage betrayal behavior. Because betrayal not only have to bear the moral condemnation of their own heart, but also have to bear the loss of part of their own hard work for many years to obtain the family property loss. For these reasons, it is clear that the father-led model of child education is superior to the mother-led model of child education. Although the father-led model may not guarantee that the education is always correct, it is generally less likely to go wrong. In particular, it should be emphasized that the most important advantage of father-led education is that it transmits a more consistent message, which is much less likely to lead to confusion about right and wrong among children than the transmission of contradictory messages between parents due to differences in their behavioral styles and personality traits, and is more likely to allow children to adapt to the outside world according to consistent values and behaviors and grow up according to a relatively uniform standard. It is easier for children to adapt to the outside world according to consistent values and behaviors, and to grow up according to relatively uniform standards.
