Interesting Fathering Facts
There is no such thing as a fatherless child.
In a child who has not felt some form of masculine nurture, the hunger for a paternal presence can be insatiable.
Appetites tend to serve the survival and well being of the infant. The child's hunger for a father is no different.
Children who grow up with a father tend to receive greater encouragement to actively solve physical and intellectual challenges
Studies have found that the more fathers participate in bathing, feeding and physically caring for their babies, the more socially responsive the babies' become.
With the presence of a father, babies start to learn about comings and goings, transitions, separations, loving, non-maternal love and nurturing.
The father is a perfect source for helping his child differentiate one's own self from one's own mother.
Children raised primarily by men have been found to be active, vigorous, robust, competent and thriving infants.
The above facts have been taken from the following article:
Kyle D. Pruett, M.D. How men and children affect each other's development, Yale Child Study Centre, New Haven, Conneticut.
