On June 4, our Professional Development Program Manager Coco McAtee appeared on Fox 4's morning news show to
discuss fathering. Visit Fox
4 News.
Father's Day is around the corner. Consider this gift: Dads
are crucial to their kids' health and well-being. You'd be surprised what
impact an absent dad has on his children's future-physically absent or
emotionally absent.
Fathers in America
- Are impacted by the economy
- Have fewer supports than moms
- Often view fathering based on how society views dads
Tips for Dads
- Be honest about what you can and cannot do
- Look for support
- Focus on your children
- One on one time with children is most valuable
Fathers Can Nurture, Too
- Fathers nurture differently from mothers
- Fathers may play with children more aggressively
- Fathers often teach defense
- Fathers can provide authority
