Podcasts about father involvement

Are you a dad who's ever felt sidelined by fear, shame, or criticism?  Become the best husband and leader you can: www.thedadedge.com/mastermind Kent Evans isn't just talking theory; he's lived it. As a father of five boys, an adoptive parent, and a mentor to countless men, he knows firsthand the challenges of modern fatherhood. He's dedicated his life to equipping dads with the tools they need to lead their families well. His message is clear: DON'T LET FEAR keep you on the sidelines. Here's what Kent's work reveals about the impact of strong father figures: Studies show that children with actively involved fathers have a 27% increase in academic performance. Research indicates that men who participate in fatherhood programs experience a 40% reduction in feelings of isolation. Children with involved fathers are 39% more likely to graduate college. ---------------------------- Gentlemen, if you're ready to level up, don't miss The Forge: A Gathering of Men—an exclusive event created by leaders like Connor Beaton, Larry Hagner, Matt Beaudreau, and Ryan Michler to help you connect, grow, and become the best version of yourself.

Richard Petts' Father Involvement and Gender Equality in the United States: Contemporary Norms and Barriers (Routledge, 2022) focuses on issues of family, work, and gender, with a focus on gender inequality. Women are disadvantaged in both paid and domestic work, due in large part to being primarily responsible for duties within the domestic sphere. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated these inequalities, making the issue of reducing gender inequality even more pressing. Fathers play an important role in contributing to, and perhaps reducing, gender inequality, but barriers to their involvement in family life have received less attention than detailing challenges that mothers face. If men were equally involved in all aspects of domestic life (i.e., were fully engaged dads), women's burdens would be reduced and perceptions of who is responsible for parenting may change, resulting in greater gender equality. The book focuses on the key issue of father involvement, seeking to understand why fathers are less involved at home than mothers despite an increased desire for fathers to be more engaged parents. This book utilizes recent national survey data, interviews with fathers, and insights from the author's personal experience as a father to identify current norms of fatherhood within the United States, barriers to father involvement, and strategies to overcome these barriers. Overall, this book argues that by establishing the expectation that fathers will be fully engaged dads as a cultural norm, and by providing structural opportunities for fathers to meet this cultural standard, greater gender equality can be achieved within the United States. The arguments presented in this book are valuable for scholars in the areas of family, work, and gender, policymakers and business leaders who seek to promote gender equality and work-family balance, and parents who are interested in achieving a more egalitarian division of labor within their own families.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 18.4 million children, 1 in 4, live without a biological, step, or adoptive father in the home. That's enough children to fill New York City twice or Los Angeles four times over. Research shows that a father's absence affects children in numerous unfortunate ways, while a father's presence makes a positive difference in the lives of both children and mothers. Here to provide some insight on the importance of father involvement, obstacles fathers may face and resources to help them are Dr. Rufus Sylvester Lynch, Academy of Certified Social Workers Fatherist and Chair of the Strong Families Commission and Luisa Olivo-Wolf, Assistant Chief Program Officer for Community Progress Council.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tom discusses the monumental difference it makes to include dad in all things birth and breastfeeding. We cover topics like how fathers involvement is rarely engaged yet always encourage and way to bridge the gap of making sure fathers are seen, heard, and understood. The ways educators can help talk to both mom and dad in each of their languages to promote fatherhood wellness, mental health, and a healthier family outcome.

Külas Kuldar Kaljuste. Jagamas oma kogemusi ja mõtteid. Kuldar on abikaasa ja 4 lapse isa, misjonär ja entusiast. Igatpidi positiivne isakuju. Podastis mainitud artiklid ja statistika: Dr Pruetti sõnul on „positiivne isa hoolitsus seotud poiste ja tüdrukute suurema sotsiaalse- ja positiivselt moraalse käitumisega“. Pruett, 2000, lk. 52. Seda kinnitavad Pennsylvania ülikooli uuringud, mis näitavad, et lapsed, kes tunnevad oma isaga lähedust ja soojust, astuvad kaks korda suurema tõenäosusega kolledžisse (ülikooli), nad saavad teismeeas lapsevanemaks 75% väiksema tõenäosusega, satuvad vangi 80% väiksema tõenäosusega ja nende seas esineb poole vähem depressiooni tunnuseid.
