In our family, these roles are sometimes reversed. I am the one to keep a cool head and respond when they children get hurt while my husband becomes somewhat blinded by emotion, but this article is excellent in pointing out that children need both a yin and a yang. I believe which role goes to which parent is really of little consequence. I’m happy to be able to attribute each of the listed qualities to one or the other of us and know that we are setting our children up for a healthy future, and I am so very proud to have such an excellent father for our kids.
