Why Fathers Are Important

Benefits of Dad Involvement

Children who grow up with fathers who stay involved in their lives enjoy all kinds of benefits:

  • better school performance
  • less trouble with the law
  • better jobs and careers
  • better relationships with others
  • higher self-esteem

Being an involved father supports the development of your kids. Children become just as attached to their fathers as their mothers. Attachment provides a life-long relationship providing a secure base in the world.
