Why Dads Matter

When the chemistry is right, fathers make contributions to the welfare of their daughters in almost every dimension of life. Here is a quick overview of some related findings in that regard. After reading it, you’ll see again why you matter as a dad to your daughter.

Girls whose fathers provide warmth and control achieve greater academic success.[15]

Girls who are close to their fathers exhibit less anxiety and withdrawal behaviors.[16]

Parental connectedness is the number one factor in preventing girls from engaging in premarital sex and indulging in drugs and alcohol.[17]

Daughters who believe that their fathers care about them have significantly fewer suicide attempts and fewer instances of body dissatisfaction, depression, low self-esteem, substance abuse, and unhealthy weight.[18]

Girls with involved fathers are twice as likely to stay in school.[19]

Girls with fathers or father figures feel more protected, are more likely to attempt college, and are less likely to drop out of college.[20]

Girls whose parents divorce or separate before they turn twenty-one tend to have shorter life spans by four years.[21]

Girls with good fathers are less likely to seek male attention by flaunting themselves.[22]

Girls who live with their mothers and fathers (as opposed to mothers only) have significantly fewer growth and developmental delays, and fewer learning disorders, emotional disabilities, and behavioral problems.[23]

Girls who live with their mothers only have significantly less ability to control impulses and delay gratification, and have a weaker sense of conscience about right and wrong.[24]

Both boys and girls do better academically if their fathers establish rules and exhibit affection.[25]
