Abstract
This literature review examines the role of the father in the first 2.5 years of the child's life. This period, which includes the conception of the child up to its second birthday, is considered crucial in shaping the optimal conditions creating the foundations for later development. With reference to attachment theory, the importance of the quality of the father-infant/toddler relationship in the first years of the child’s life is discussed. Reference is made to indicative factors that allegedly influence the formation of this relationship and finally, the practice of infant massage is proposed as a method of developing and cultivating this relationship.
