Much of the value mothers and fathers bring to their children is due to the fact that mothers and fathers are different. And by cooperating together and complementing each other in their differences，they provide these good things that same­sex caregivers cannot provide.

Mothers and Fathers Play Differently. Fathers tend to play with, and mothers tend to care for children. While both mothers and fathers are physical，fathers are physical in different ways.

Fathers are rough while mothers are gentle. Fathers encourage competition；mothers encourage fairness. One style encourages independence while the other encourages security.

Both provide security and confidence in their own ways by communicating love and physical intimacy.

Fathers Push Limits；Mothers Encourage Security. Go to any playground and listen to the parents. Who is encouraging their kids to swing or climb just a little higher，ride just a little faster，throw just a little harder？Who is yelling，“Slow down，not so high，not so hard”？Of course，fathers encourage children to take chances and push limits and mothers protect children and are more cautious.

Joined together，they keep each other in balance and help children remain safe while expanding their experiences and confidence.

Mothers and Fathers communicate differently. A major study found that when speaking to children，mothers and fathers are different. Mothers will simplify their words and speak on the child's level. Men are not as inclined to modify(修改) their language for the child simply.

Children who do not have the chance to meet both will not learn how to understand and use both styles of conversation as they grow. These boys and girls will be at a disadvantage because they will experience these different ways of communicating in relationship with teachers，bosses and others.

Mothers and Fathers Discipline Differently Educational psychologist Carol Gilligan tells us that fathers stress justice，fairness and duty，while mothers stress sympathy，care and help. Again，either of these parenting styles by themselves is not good，but together，they create a healthy，proper balance.
