For example, when fathers hold a baby, they tend to do something like tickle them or put them on their shoulders. As a result, children who have had a lot of positive fathering tend to be more outgoing, more flexible and better able to cope with new situations. Researchers found that involved fathers improve children's motivation and ability to achieve in school. Dads also benefit from this new style of fathering. When Dads spend more time with children, they have a happier and more balanced life.

Read articles and books.
