Fathers make unique and irreplaceable contributions to the lives of their children. Involved fathers provide practical support in raising children and serve as models of their development. Children with involved, loving fathers are significantly more likely to do well in school, have healthy self-esteem, exhibit empathy and pro-social behaviour compared to children who have uninvolved fathers.
