Children behave better, learn more and are better adjusted if their father is involved in their lives, a major study shows. Researchers found that a good relationship between youngsters and fathers had a positive effect that could last for two decades.
In low-income homes, regular contact was also seen to lead to less juvenile crime.
Survey: A father’s love goes far in a child’s life
Anna Sarkadi, of Sweden’s Uppsala University, where the research was carried out, said: “Our detailed 20-year review shows that overall, children reap positive benefits if they have active and regular engagement with a father figure.
“We found various studies that showed that children who had positively involved father figures were less likely to smoke and get into trouble with the police, achieved better levels of education and developed good friendships with children of both sexes.
“Long-term benefits included women who had better relationships with partners and a greater sense of mental and physical well-being at the age of 33 if they had a good relationship with their father at 16.
“It may seem obvious that what’s worked for centuries is good for individuals and society, but that’s what we found.”
She said the studies showed the value of the father’s input as a role model from babyhood to the teenage years.
Who would have guessed that a more traditional family where the children have their fathers in their lives would in fact give the children of that family a head start towards a happy Life?
None of the minions of the left, who have increasingly suggested that fathers are entirely optional after conception (and they wish they were not needed for that either) will like what this report says though.
Cheers Comrrades.

Hmmmm
Being born into a family without a male role model vs. never being born at all. Tough choice.
I think I’ll go with being born and then take my chances, thanks.
Hmm, different plant same seed.
No Defend or Die, it takes a bigoted idiot to make stupid homophobic comments like yours.
If you have any evidence for your crap (which you don’t) then I suggest you would be better posting at a hate site like AWH.
Iain, are you going to allow this kind of homophobic shit or do you support this kind of bigot?
cwaigy descibes AWH as a “hate” site.
Bawaaahahaha!
Nowhere on that site do we employ racial abuse, anti-Semitism or abuse against homosexuals–your definition of “hate speech” is anyone who loathes leftists and says so.
What a lame little creep you are, Leftyslime. All you can do is jump on the dishonest “hate speech” bandwagon and mindlessly parrot the slogans of the left.
One day, when you get a brain you may be able to furnish it with more than slogans and conditioned reflexes.
idiot.
Thanks for that KG.
Being born into a family without a male role model vs. never being born at all ..
That’s called a ‘no-contest’ Mondo not a ‘no-brainer’, as you seem to imply. That’s just a ridiculous comparison. If, in your make-believe world, the yet-to-be-conceived (not the unborn) could make a choice … what the f… do you think they’d say?
Iain, another important, not at all selective, bit of ‘research’ for you to update your post.
I put this up for the benefit of the children Iain, not to attack anyone. Just like your post is in no way an attack on loving same sex couples.
“A father who stays at home to bring up his infant son could be damaging the child’s future chances in life, a state-funded research project suggests.
Boys looked after as toddlers by stay-at-home dads are slower and less ready for education than other children when they start school, says the large-scale survey.
But intriguingly, the same does not apply to girls.
Researchers who investigated 6,000 families to discover what happened when mothers went out to work and fathers took over looking after the children warn that couples should beware of swapping traditional roles.”

So I guess a caring father would get a job or risk doing real damage to their kids, you must agree now Iain, I’m sure you will.
Traditional families and traditional family roles must be supported. Perhaps you could call for all government assistance to be removed from those families that aren’t traditional Iain.
You know, to save the kids….it’s to help the kids Iain…..Good on you mate.
