  urlLink KRT Wire | 06/29/2004 | Fathers play a pivotal role in the development of sons and daughters : "A father's impact and the role he plays are far more important than one might think.
Fathers are cited more than mothers in issues such as psychological maladjustment, substance abuse, depression and behavioral problems, according to research done by Ronald Rohner, director of the Center for the Study of Parental Acceptance and Rejection in the School of Family Studies at the University of Connecticut, and his colleague Robert Veneziano. They also found that a father's love helps prevent the development of these problems and can also contribute to a child's good physical health. "
