"Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad."
- Wade Boggs, American baseball player
Father, dad, daddy, pa, papa, padre - whatever you call him, a dad is a special person. Biologically speaking, a father is the male parent. Uncles, adoptive fathers, and others may also fill this role.
Throughout history, fathers have been expected to provide for their children's necessities, teach them, and discipline them. They may also serve as secondary or primary caregivers during infancy and childhood.
The "father figure" - who may or may not be a child's biological father - is often looked to for guidance, especially by male children.
