Fatherhood Parenting

We all know the importance of mothers. They are typically as paramount in the wild as they are in human relationships. But what about fathers?

How, then, can we explain modern fathers having the capacity to be highly engaged parents? In Father Nature, James Rilling explores how humans have evolved to endow modern fathers with this potential and considers why this capacity evolved in humans.

Bad parents are the best parents because they give you adversity. Children are kind of like magicians psychologically because when you're a child, you're weak and you have to deal with your own weakness and your own vulnerabilities.
