Fathers, like mothers, play an important role in a child's emotional development. Children turn to their dads to establish and enforce ground rules. They also turn to their fathers to create a sense of physical and emotional stability. Dads who are available and responsive to their children feel like home to them. The relationship between a father and his son or daughter is called paternal love. Paternal love is very special because it can only be felt by parents towards their children. The love fathers have for their sons and daughters is beautiful and it should be cherished by everyone that knows them. However, not all fathers show their love for their children by being available for them or by responding to them when they need them. Some fathers may provide material things such as food, shelter, and education but not experience parental love. This is often the case with absentee fathers. Other fathers may work long hours and not have much time with their children. This is called economic deprivation. When a father does not have enough money to provide for his family, he is said to suffer from poverty. Many poor fathers simply give up on trying to change their situation or seek employment that pays well so they can stop working and spend more time with their kids. Some children lack a positive male figure in their lives.
