Though we have some ideas of the role and responsibility of a father but society, as
a whole does not really have a clear idea what it represent. How does the presence
or absence of fathering impact our children? What children need from their fathers?
In this fast paced society it is difficult and rare for parents to reflect on the effect of
their parenting role and the parent-child relationship. As a result, the parenting
process is seldom the result of basic decisions made consciously and thoughtfully.
