[edit] Comment
Is there a description of the paternal bond? If it refers to an emotional connection then bear in mind some fathers have no emotional connection with their child. Presumably there must be more to the concept than that merely there is a biological/social/legal relationship between the father and child.

- That's what I'm hoping to explore with this article. The paternal bond, the way I see it, is a form of (family-style) love for a younger person. The description may be difficult to write exactly as it can include quite a wide scope of relationships, be them biological or not. I'll do some research on the topic and it's sister (haha) article maternal bond. violet/riga (t) 20:03, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)

- You've explicitly said that you'll do some original research to write this article, and the article seems already to be a combination of original material and conjecture. Wikipedia is not the place for original research. It could be that I'm wrong, and this article reflects existing research - if that's the case, then it needs to cite some sources. I've tagged the article with the {{verify}} tag. --Hughcharlesparker 14:26, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

- I didn't see the phrase "original research" anywhere in her comment. QED, you are an imbecile.

- Levine, Jon (2003). "Secret of Paternal Bond." BBC News / Health, Tuesday, 25 February.
Paternal bonding (or father child bonding) is an elaborate issue (see: Rossi and Rossi (1991) Of Human Bonding), most men don't claim to have a significant bond to a child until they are able to have intellligent conversations with the child. A related term is father-infant bond. --Sadi Carnot 12:10, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
