In contrast, mothers were children's confidante and supportive authority who balanced the power dynamics between father and children, carefully treading on eggshells by gauging subtle expressions and measured responses of fathers to the children's demands and negotiating for a win-win between the two.
Come 2023, the relationship between fathers and children has undergone a 360-degree transformation-a complete makeover that challenges the stereotypical fathers and their seemingly grim gravitas. It doesn't mean that now children are not viewing the father's position with a respectful eye, instead, the layers that fathers of today's generation have peeled off from their solemn form, have paved the way to forge a bond that is a synergy of love, respect, and freedom. Take Atticus, for example, of the revered classics To Kill A Mockingbird, who engaged with his children and blended the proportion of authority with comradeship to a right measure. He was strict, gentle, and friendly, guided Jem and Scott by modeling courage, humanity, and beholding ethics and values. Today's fathers are nothing short of this classic figure when it comes to engaging with their children. Straddling between two worlds of work and children, they are making time to spend quality time with their children.
