Dad's- Where are they?

Interesting article in the May/June issue of the Scientific American Mind titled Where's Dad by Paul Raeburn.  For many years, it has been the chronic habit to blame Mom's for all of  our children's difficult behaviors. Guess what, there is new research that states that an engaged Dad whether, living at home or not, is a critical factor to their daughter's mental health.
The definition of an engaged Dad seems to be how often fathers are involved in child focused activities. These activities might be demonstrating support by helping with homework, playing games, attending sports and school events.
An involved father helps his daughter become a happier and more functional adult. Get involved and watch your daughters blossom.
