Misconception #1:
Raising children is women's work
Fact:
W
ithout
fathers, most children lack the support, guidance, and discipline required to deal with life
outside
and within the familySlide14

G
irls
with active and hardworking dads are more ambitious, more successful in school

Slide15

Misconception #3:
S
mall
children do not need
their father’s

the dad
can just step in when the kids are older

a man waits
until his son or daughter is older,
the child probably will resent Dad's lack of previous involvement
, will have become over-dependent on Mom, and will show little interest in Dad's favored activities, opinions, or suggestions. Slide16
