Fathers do many things differently. That's why they depend on partners who can let go. But the main thing is that it works. This not only relieves the burden on mothers, but also creates real closeness to the children.

According to researchers, mothers often take on a protective role. Fathers, on the other hand, encourage their children to open to the world and become more independent.
