Father-Son Relationships

This pass week in my English class, we read a story called “The teacher who changed my life”. It was about a boy who had escaped from Greece during the night and had move the the United States. When he first got there he didn’t have a great relationship with his father. This make me think of how a father son relationship would be. So I got to thinking asking questions like “What type of relationships do father sons have?, How many children’s have father’s in his life?, and Are the sons relationships better with the mother or father?” I found some very intriguing information.

I found this website called psychologytoday and found the following information. The more generations of boys we have the less a father passes on to his son. So as generations go on the bond between fathers and sons lesses. So fathers are becoming more distant from their sons.Then I continued my research on to my second question and found some very sad statistics on fatherhood.org. 24 million children, 1 out of 3, live without their biological father. So all theses children that leave with out a father. The chart below are more facts that can be found on the website about children who live without their father. So i finally searched my last question and got the answer on mom.me. When a child is born the first year of its life it is attached ti mom because of development. For example when a child is born it does skin to skin contact. Usually this is done by the mom so the bonding is done with the mom and its not a close to the father as it is with the mother. Also the father goes back to work while the mom is at home with the baby for 6 weeks. So all this bonding with the mother occurs.But as the child gets a year old they begin to become mobile. So during this time the father begins to rough house with the boy so this bond becomes closer to the boy during this time.
