Dads, you're not alone in this!
Have you ever wondered, “Do fathers matter? What differences do I make in my home as a dad?” Let’s begin with the simple answer — the importance of a father is tremendous! You make countless differences in your home and family.
However, how much impact you decide to make as a dad is entirely up to you!
The importance of a father can be seen physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and relationally in a family.

The following examples describe studies demonstrating the potential results from a father’s positive effective parenting:
**A dad’s sensitivity early in a boy’s life leads to fewer behavior issues later in the boy’s life.**

**Unity in parenting between a mom and dad can result in more feelings of intimacy between a husband and wife, especially from a wife toward her husband. As a result, children have fewer emotional and behavioral issues.** 

**Sons who have a good relationship with their father tend to handle stress more effectively.**
​
**Playing with fathers, including roughhousing, helps children develop self-control, problem-solving skills, and self-regulation skills.**
