Based on the results of the research conducted, it appears that a child with a father's role who is involved  in parenting and who feels the love of a father, the child will be better able to socialize with the surrounding environment. Meanwhile, children who rarely get and do not get their father's love and interact less with their father, children will tend to have more difficulty controlling their emotions.
