The role of the father has changed significantly in recent years. Instead of acting only as breadwinner and authority figure in the family, more and more fathers are taking an active role in raising their children. In particular, the democratic style of education is gaining in importance.
In the democratic parenting style, children are seen as equal partners in the family. Fathers who follow this style of parenting do not decide alone on family matters, but involve their children in decision-making processes. Emphasis is placed on open communication and a positive error culture.
