Introduction
Attachment is the strong, affectional bond that humans feel toward special people in their lives. Attachment between parents and children in early childhood has many effects on how the child will grow, learn, and communicate in the outside world. A fathers’ sensitive care giving can predict secure attachment, which is an effect that becomes stronger the more time they spend with their children. Father-child interaction has been shown to promote a childs physical well-being, perceptual abilities, and competency for relatedness with others. ... It is proven that poor attachment between a child and his /her care giver creates a risk of slow mental development, depression, maladjustment, and even death. A secure attachment to a stable care-giving father predicts advanced peer and play behavior, but is the attachment between father and child associated with the attachment that the child has with its peers in late adolescence? One long term study proved that secure, avoidant, and resistant attachment at age one did not predict psychological adjustment at age eighteen. However, I think that the attachment between father and child is not associated with the attachment between the son and his friends in late adolescence.
