14. • Children with an involved father are observed
to be more secure individuals. They feel less
threatened and overwhelmed in situations
and have better abilities for dealing with
stressors and frustrations in their life. They
tend to be less likely to get into trouble with
peers and tend to be more insulated from
engaging in risky behaviors later in life.

15. • Children whose fathers are actively involved
in the parenting process are seen to have
better social skills. A father’s way of
interacting with the child in a playful
stimulating way promotes the child’s ability
to regulate their feelings and behaviors and
also allows for learning how to deal with
aggressive impulses and physical contact.

behaviors in a child. This has a positive
impact on their ability to form better social
