Childhood is a time of innocence and joy, when Santa Claus exists but so do the monsters under the bed. Children have a sense of security and invulnerability that can be wondrous yet terrifying at the same time. This time of life is when a person learns lifelong habits and when they are taught important lessons. Unfortunately childhood ends all too soon and the innocence is lost, so this period in time should be cherished before it is gone.

I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection
