“Is having godparents essential to a child’s development?”
Not at all. If you are religious and would like for your child to have godparents, great. If not, don’t worry at all. Think that there are godparents that are very involved in their godchildren’s life and there are others that are not very much involved. What is good for children is to have loving adults in their life whom they have a close relationship with. It doesn’t matter if they are a godparent, a family friend, or an aunt. Rest assured that having godparents is not essential.
I hope this information helps!
