When it comes to mothers and daughters we all kind of believe that this bond is the greatest one in the world. Many would even say that a mother is all a daughter needs, which according to research is not entirely true. Recent studies have shown that daughters not only benefit from a fatherly figure in their life, but that fathers which are emotionally involved and present in their daughters’ lives are essential for their proper emotional development. Daughters relationship with her father creates a positive image for the child and increases her self-confidence. Furthermore, this bond with their fathers makes them more open about their emotions and prepared to hold on to a healthy relationship in adulthood.
