To be concerned with proper child development is to be concerned about making sure that children have daily access to both mothers’ and fathers’ parenting.

   If Heather is being raised by two mommies and Brandon is being raised by Daddy and his new husband-roommate, Heather and Brandon might have two adults in their lives, but  they are being deprived of the benefits found in the unique influences found in a mother and father’s differing parenting styles. Much of the value mothers and fathers bring to their children is due to the fact that mothers and fathers are different. And by cooperating together and complementing each other in their differences, they provide these good things that same-sex caregivers cannot. The important value of these gender-based differences in healthy child-development will be explored here.

   The fathering difference is explained by fathering scholar Dr. Kyle Pruett of Yale Medical School in his book Fatherneed: Why Father Care is as Essential as Mother Care for Your Child. Pruett says dads matter simply because “fathers do not mother.” A father, as a male parent, brings unique contributions to the job of parenting that a mother cannot.

   Likewise, a mother, as a female parent, uniquely impacts the life and development of her child, as Dr. Brenda Hunter explains in her book, The Power of Mother Love: Transforming Both Mother and Child. Erik Erikson explained that father love and mother love are qualitatively different kinds of love. Fathers love more dangerously because their love is more expectant than a mother’s love.

    Dr. Pruett also explains that fathers have a clear style of communication with children. Babuism by 8 weeks, can tell the difference between a male or female communicating with  them. Stanford psychologist Eleanor Maccoby, in her book The Two Sexes, explains mothers and fathers respond differently to babies. Mothers are more likely to provide warm care for a envying baby. Whether they realize it or not, children are learning at earliest age that men and women are different and have different ways of dealing with life, other adults and their children.

Jerry turned the key in the heavy lock and put it calmly in his pocket．He did so much more from caution than from any kind of fear．This was the only entrance to the house，and he did not want to be caught by any danger from outside．He wondered if David Jackson had been as careful the night before．Though David would be away for at least three days，Jerry had a strange feeling of his nearness．In the stillness he seemed to hear David’s voice．He looked around quickly，for the tricks of hearing were the most realistic of all．But there were only the women．It seemed impossible that David should not be there．

The girl，carrying a smoky oil lamp，led Jerry upstairs．He threw open one after another the doors along the passage．At this，the girl stopped and raised the lamp in each doorway，staring at him at the same time．Satisfied he was the only guest，Jerry came to the last door，which the girl threw open herself．

“You sleep here，sir，”she said，giving him the lamp．“Your friend sleep here，too．It is our most comfortable bed．”

“Good night，miss，”he said politely．

Her lips moved in reply，but he did not catch the words．Her eyes never for a moment left his face．He stepped in and as he turned to close the door，she was still standing there motionless．He paused，and in the silence，he thought he again heard the sound of David’s voice．The sound terrified him now，not only because it seemed much nearer，but also because he imagined a note of warning it．
