New Research shows father's involvement when children are young gives them a significant advantage (LINK). 

Research at Leeds University lead by Dr Helen Norman shows fathers have a unique and significant effect on children’s outcomes. This will not be news to many FNF members but is a further additional weapon in our armoury when arguing in court and with social workers on the value of fathers in children’s lives. Further research by Dr Tsuguhiko Kato in Japan reinforced this finding (LINK). It explains why children find roughhousing so appealing and how they learn gross motor skills, self-confidence, self-regulation, problem solving and prepare children for school.
