How to be the Father Kids Need by Armin Brott
DAD MATTERS A
merican fatherhood has evolved considerably in the last 50 years. While dads used to be kept out of
the delivery room, today, more than 90 percent of new fathers are present for their children’s birth, refl ected in MenCare Advocacy’s State of the Worlds’ Fathers. However, being there early on does not necessarily defi ne the scope of future involvement. Overcoming obstacles that might keep men from being the “high-fi ve” dads they and their family need them to be is key. Involved fathers benefi t children. Most research on child development has focused on how mothers infl uence their children, but in recent decades, society has “discovered” fathers. In many studies, pioneering Psychologist Ross Parke, Ph.D., professor emeritus of University of California, Riverside, and others have conclusively shown that children of more-involved dads are better at solving puzzles, score higher on cognitive skills tests, do better in school, are more likely to go to college, are more empathetic, manage their emotions better, have fewer behavior problems, are less likely to suffer from depression or mental illness and are less likely to break laws or become teen parents. Fathering tip: Never miss an opportunity to change a diaper, play with the kids, read stories together or simply ask them about their day.
34 Central Florida natural awakenings Equal workplace policies matter.
The U.S. is the only economically advanced country that has no nationally mandated paid maternity leave policy and is absent a national paternity leave policy, paid or unpaid. When men don’t get time off to learn basic parenting skills, it’s harder for them to stay engaged later. In 1977, 41 percent of women and 35
percent of men in dual-earner couples reported work-family life confl icts. Today, the fi gures are 47 percent and 60 percent, respectively, according to the Families and Work Institute’s ongoing National Study of the Changing Workforce. Parenting tip: Advocate for national, paid parenting leave policies for men and women starting with local employers. It benefi ts both families and companies. Studies by Stanford University, the Families and Work Institute, Gallup, Inc. and others have found that companies with family-friendly benefi ts enjoy more loyal employees, better morale, lower turnover, fewer arbitrary sick days, higher levels of customer service and higher shareholder returns—all of which contribute to their bottom line. Both genders can be naturally nurturing. Certainly, women are biologically adapted for giving birth and breastfeeding, but Parke found that caring new dads typically cuddle, coo, giggle, rock and feed their babies just as much as new mothers.
