Children who have their fathers in their life have a higher probability to live in a good neighborhood and home. In “The Effects of Father Involvement” by Sarah Allen and Kaly Daly, cognitive development is defined as “a field of study in neuroscience and psychology, focusing on a children’s development in terms of information processing, conceptual resources, perceptual skill, language learning, and other aspects of brain development and cognitive psychology compared to an adult’s point of view,”(Schacter, Daniel L, 2009). One of the most important moments to a person is their own childhood memories because at the early age, a child begins to build skills like pre-reading, learning new words, learning numbers, and learning …show more content…
Having a father who will support his child in school will lead to a positive outcome on young boy’s motivation to do good in school accept that their grades matter, and to think very highly on education. Research by Flouri and Buchname further shows that “father and mother engagement at age seven independently estimated educational attainment by age twenty for both sons and daughters indicating that early father involvement can be another protective element in counteracting risk conditions that might lead to later low attainment levels (Flouri, Buchnan ,2004). As this paper said early, encouraging their development not only father, but also mother’s role is important. In other words their mutual cooperation is able to grow their children more cognitively developed. According to U. S. Department of Education studies found that highly involved biological fathers had children who were 43 percent more likely than other children to earn mostly and 33 percent less likely than other children to repeat a grade (Nord, C, West J, 2001). In summary, in cognitive development, the father’s role since childhood has had a profound impact on the future of …show more content…
Even from the birth, children who have an involved father are more likely to be emotionally connected, be positive to their surround atmosphere and then they grow, they are more societal in the friendships. “High father involvement was also associated with increased children’s feelings of paternal acceptance, a factor that plays a role in the development of self-concept and esteem” (Culp Schadle, Robinson, Culp, 2000). Consequently, children of involved fathers had higher self-esteem. Overall, father love appears to be as heavily implicated as mother love in offsprings’ psychological well-being and health, as well as in an array of psychological and behavioral
