Consequences of the lack of father figure:

     The father's presence is vital in the development of various developmental aspects of the lives of children, here generally indicated the absence of the paternal or its minimal presence:
 
a) Loss of emotional contact and playful with children, the father's presence, their communication with their children, the time spent playing with them is of vital importance in the construction of the psyche of children and developing their self-esteem. (Although this can be established, with more effort, thanks to native speech) Sometimes the parents would have to reflect on questions such as:
         
1 .-- Time spent playing with my child?
         
2. - Do I have time available during the day to spend with my children and communicate with them?
         
3. - I let my children in their free time to schedule my presence and contribution?
         
4. - Affiliate program recreational and cultural outlets in line with their social and educational needs?
         
b) Loss of family dynamics, of considerable importance to the development of the concept of the family of the child, parental example is the guarantee that the children know to successfully face relations with people of the opposite sex.
         
c) Appearance of regressive behavior. Children who are in the kindergarten stage tend to exhibit regressive behaviors when the father figure is absent: insomnia, panic tantrums, separation anxiety of the mother, loss of bowel control, regression in cleaning habits, stagnation on cognitive, fears fóbicos.1
         
Teenagers are the ones who suffer most from this lack, have short-term, insecurity, loneliness and sometimes depression, tend to exhibit this lack of affection and communication in the form of:
         
1. "School failure.
         
2. - Antisocial behavior.
         
3. - Carelessness, laziness.
         
4. - Consumption of tóxicos.2
           
d) The parent-child interaction, parent helps the child's emotional development to be projected in your mind as a competent, strong and sure of his masculinity. Contributes equally to show affection in his manner. This will help build competent and secure in their personal lives.
         
e) During infancy, children benefit from contact with a paternal model responsible, rational, benevolent, calm and empathetic. But in the case of children the father image is particularly important in modulating his aggressive impulses, (parents who play with their children, have them, some more likely to self-regulate their behavior, because through play, and if this struggle is the child knows its capabilities and limitations, learn to control their forces, recognize when you have exceeded and learn to apologize)
         
With the interrelationship of the child with the paternal model, it is discovering the model of authority, the father expressed in the form of service, support, security in itself, knowing properly intervene in conflict situations. In addition the child is able to configure their masculine identity and forging the mood of the expectant father.
         
f) The father image is constructed in the minds of children, not just the features of its progenitor, but also attributes of other important men of his childhood, and parenting qualities idealized in other characters that children pick up the idols of his time. Hence the importance of assessing and balancing the environmental influences that children receive.
         
g) The attachment gives the father the child with his speech, serve it for emotional support, empathy, parent-child ties in with the future disposition of the child to adopt attitudes of cooperation and failure to create attitudes of conflict.
            
e) The figure of the father gives the child protection. The child feels protected by his father learns and begins to develop self-care behaviors.
         
Polaino Professor has written an article that is titled:
         
Father: Light and shadow work in the family.
         
Although this statement may contain some truth, the reality is becoming ever more parents aware of their role and contribution to family life and education of their children.

                   
In fifty years will not matter:

                   
The type of car you drove.

                   
The type of house where you lived

                   
The amount of money you had in the bank

                   
Neither the quality of the clothes you wore.

                   
But the world may be a little better

                   
Because you were important in the life of a niño.3
