Paternal relationships with focus on the girl child are most important for security, comfort, self esteem and balance in the family unit. The physiological gift of power, love and strength from a father foregrounds the girl child's interaction with the male in society. Whether it be biological, adoptive or an Uncle, fathers are important to a girls child and if you are growing without one or were abandoned, I pray the man in your life nourish you with love, security and hope to grow your confidence.
