The Paternal Presence

Abstract

Although fathers cannot imitate a mother's nurturing care of her children, fathers have an essential nurturing function that is distinctly their own. This article discusses this distinct role fathers play in the life of their children and the impact that role has on the father, his children, and the family as a whole. Men and their children can affect each other as profoundly as any relationship they may ever have.
