Fatherliness has instinctual roots and indeed, most every man has the capacity to develop his fatherly ties to his children. Despite its instinctual basis, however, the specific benefits of fatherhood dont come so automatically. Many men, unlike women, need to learn to become responsible fathers and to guide their sons along the same pathway. Fathers often have to work hard to develop the ability to nurture and they can do so by becoming actively engaged in their lives of their children. By doing so, they not only become involved in their childs external activities, but they become more attentive to their childs as well as their own inner lives. Good enough fathers consequently find themselves growing more empathic, vulnerable, and trusting while helping to guide and mentor their child to take on the challenges of the world, regulate emotions, and achieve mastery in certain realms of activity.
