Fathers Are Important for Infants' Emotional Development
Submitted by Scott on Sat, 2002-04-06 08:27
This article in the Salt Lake Tribute discusses a study showing that fathers have a positive effect on the stress level of young children. ""Society tends to stress the importance of mothers over fathers, especially in caring for infants," said Marissa Diener, assistant professor of Family and Consumer Studies, who conducted the research. "This study shows that fathers are important for infants' emotional development."" Unfortunately, it seemed that the article bent over backwards to assure its readers that mothers are "still No. 1," to an extent that I found a bit much. Yet it still promotes important information about the need for fathers from a very early age.Source: The Salt Lake Tribune [newspaper]
