Fatherhood

This week we are discussing the importance of fatherhood and the great impact that fathers can have in their child's life. Children need a father and a mother in their home. A father has a great impact on his children and the way that they grow, boys that have a strong fatherly figure show less aggression when they are older and girls who have a strong fatherly figure in their life are less promiscuous when they are older. The department of health and human services states that "children with involved, caring fathers have better educational outcomes."  There are large studies that show of the positive impact a father has in his children's lives based on their relationship.
