Those are some of the effects but that doesn't mean that all those who are fatherless will experience them. But it should all be used as a lesson because the one affected is a child who does not know anything. If that has happened then something must be done, there are several solutions related to that, namely:
- Provide emotional support.
- Being a positive role model.
- Encouraging participation in social activities.
- Providing opportunities to talk.
The presence of the father is very important in shaping the identity and future of the child, so efforts should be made to minimize the impact of fatherlessness as mentioned earlier.
Fatherless children need our attention and support to reach their full potential and do not let loss be a weakness, but make it a strength to achieve success.
