It is true that no one doubts the importance of the baby's attachment to his mother during childhood, a relationship that will mark the child for his entire life.
But why is the question not so obvious when it comes to the father?
Although some specialists, such as the controversial psychologist Peggy Drexler state that children do not need a father for their development, a British study disputes that theory, considers that The baby needs the father as much as the mother.
According to the experts, children tend to suffer major problems in their development if the parents do not have periods of paternity in the first moments of the baby's life, or if they are not long enough with them at least until three years.
The role of man as a father is experiencing a very important change in recent times. Committed parents who take care of their children, parents who are very present in the child's life who also share with the woman the task of being parents.
That is why more and more the father figure influences the emotional growth of the child, becoming essential for them.
The study is aimed at demonstrating the importance of the family consisting of mother and father for the proper development of the child, since many see in the problems of youth the consequences of the decomposition of the traditional family.
Personally, I believe that young people's bad behaviors have more to do with a lack of education and affection than with the lack of a father, since there are families where there are only mothers, one or two, who are able to get a child off perfectly.
But we cannot deny that when there is a father, he becomes fundamental in the child's life and they need him as much as his mother.
