appropriate manner are more likely to have boys who
understand how they are to treat women and are less likely
to act in an aggressive fashion toward females. Girls with
involved, respectful fathers see how they should expect
men to treat them and are less likely to become involved in
violent or unhealthy relationships. In contrast, research has
shown that husbands who display anger, show contempt for,
or who stonewall their wives are more likely to have
children who are anxious, withdrawn, or antisocial.

These are the main factors emanating from broken homes,
stepfathers, unemployed fathers, or fathers who are under
substance abuse or suffering from depression. The abuse
and neglect of children can have profoundly negative
consequences for the social, psychological, and physical
health of children, e.g., depression, low self-esteem,
antisocial behavior, juvenile delinquency, adult criminal
behavior, suicidal tendencies, promiscuity, aggression, and
difficulty in dealing with others.
The importance of effective fathering on the mental
wellness & health of children cannot be undermined.
Fortunately, most fathers today have realized this fact &
despite what they do, they have started focussing on
building a close-knit relationship with their children right
from childhood to adulthood. Their main contribution as
part of co-parenting is to play a key role in nurturing
children, disciplining them appropriately, serving as a guide
to the outside world, protecting & providing for them &
being a role model. Children are known to be impacted
more by what they see rather than what they are told,
putting the onus of appropriate behavior on a father to
create mentally healthy, kind & responsible human beings
who will follow in their father's footsteps to create the next
generation of mentally strong children that will contribute
positively to the society.
