Fathers are an often overlooked necessity in children’s lives, but their presence is vital to the development and well-being of their children. According to Psychology Today<\/a>, research shows that being raised without a father can have lasting negative impacts on children. Father’s Day is a great opportunity to thank the man you call “Dad” and celebrate the other fathers or father figures and mentors in your life as well.<\/p>\n

Here are some viral videos of fathers who light up their children’s lives, and who have given us joy as well.<\/p>\n

Hilarious Boxing<\/h4>\n

A video of Sando Reapa Louis of Florida and his six-month-old daughter Jamila went viral in January when viewers couldn’t get enough of the baby girl’s laugh. As her father practiced his boxing moves, Jamila could not control her laughter.<\/p>\n

“She think my hands a joke,” he wrote on Facebook. As Jamila celebrated her first birthday this week, he shared<\/a> the video a second time because it obviously brings great joy to his life, as does his daughter.<\/p>\n
