Great Fathers/ Mana Matua - The benefits to children of a second secure attachment is what drives Great Fathers Mana Matua. One secure attachment (usually to the mother) is essential for survival. Two (or more) is better. The baby's father - or second primary caregiver - has the possibility of providing that next secure attachment. Whether the father is the biological father or not is immaterial. www.greatfathers.org.nz
