Secure attachments between fathers and children are helpful in creating a foundation for emotional development and security in the child. Research from The Fatherhood Project (2025) highlights that children thrive when dads are able to provide consistency, warmth, and spend quality time together. The Attach Program offered at Family Service Saskatoon addresses the importance of creating a secure attachment with your child and ways to connect through play. Attach focuses on helping parents better understand their own and their child’s feelings and behavior.
