Exactly what Does It Mean To Be A Dad
Today, Dads are familiar with readying children for school in the early morning and making supper for them when they come home in the evenings. Over the years, fatherhood has transformed considerably, and now the roles of couple are more or less interchangeable and Dr. Levant recalled an extremely memorable course that he had actually offered in the 1980s on the changing role of fatherhood that helped initiate a more expansive view of fathering.
Dr. Levant said that broadminded guys who intended to play a larger part in their children's lives were still commonly not respected in much of traditional society. However, these modifications in gender roles are not taking place throughout American culture because corporate attitudes in the United States are sluggish in acknowledging that dads need family time,
Children needed both parents to be there for them as they developed, and the absence of fathers, or perhaps mothers, was the source for much emotional damage. Tragically, after a separation, almost fifty percent of dad's lost touch with their kids. Given that fifty percent of marriages statistically ended up in separation or divorce, this degree of childhood trauma was a rather persistent theme throughout American culture.
Tragically, after a divorce, almost half of the fathers remained separated from their kids. Youngsters needed their parents to be there for them as they matured, and the absence of dads, and even moms, produced emotional damage. Because one one-half of marriages statistically ended up in a messy breakup, this degree of emotional injury to children was fairly pervasive throughout American culture.
Divorce resulted in all sorts of complications"from absent fathers to visitation fathers. Sometimes, too, fathers were given custody when the mother was considered incompetent by the court. Adding to this emotional confusion for children was the whole concept of blended families, stay-at-home fathers, and gay dads.
