The effects of fatherless families on boys

When a kid grows he learns many things from his parents. The boy follows father and girl follows mother. There is a joke like this; a girl likes dolls and boy likes strong man. When they grow the girl likes strong man and boy likes dolls.

This little joke says how the kids grow. The boy needs to grow following his father and the girl needs her mother. When they become young they need the attraction of the opposite sex.

Divorce and family breaks rise up as each single person's desires are high today. When someone needs more freedom than the family bondage the person can be apart from his own family. When a couple divorce they never think of their children. They think their separation is important than the future of their kids.

This way there are many divorced women with their children. A daughter doesn't face more psychological problems than a boy as her mother is with her. The boy without his father may act very strange way just as the classroom has a commotion in the absence of the teacher.

When he built up his world as a man, he wants to see the world through a masculine way as his father did earlier. That is the time a boy needs his father. If he has not such opportunity at the time he may reacts abnormally.

Some occasions are there the boy uses to follow her mother as he has no the other parent to follow. Every child loves his mother than his father. That is common. So being closer to mother than father means there may be some effects on his personality. This is a serious case and must solve before he becomes adult.

Some cases seem that boys without father's support act rude and stubborn. This is the way a boy shows his need and necessity. Even when a step father is there any boy does not familiar with him than his father. In this manner each mother should be very keen on his son than a daughter. The daughter is always with mother and can be communicate as good friends.

The reactions of such boys should be tolerated by his mother and use to get support from grandparents or other trusted relatives. Parents must think it is their responsibility to keep their marriage life and must be vigilant of their children if they have any. The nation, country or the society never accept anti social persons and parents should never let their children become antisocial.
