This dissertation examines low-income fathers involvement with their young children using the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing (FFCW) data. Chapter 3 entitled, He Said, She Said: Comparing Father and Mother Reports of Father Involvement, compares mother and father reports of fathers frequency of involvement in various activities and in measures of emotional involvement. This chapter finds that fathers report spending 17.6 percent more time engaged in 11 activities with their young children than mothers report the father spending. How parental disagreement is measured yields starkly different results given the underlying distribution of these data. Chapter 4 entitled, Estimating the Impact of Child Support and Welfare Policies on Fathers Involvement, is a longitudinal analysis combining three waves of the FFCW data with annual, state-level policy data on child support enforcement and welfare policies. This chapter examines the impact of policies on fathers involvement over time. ...

MILWAUKEE-Former heavyweight boxing champion George Foreman is visiting a school in Milwaukee for the citys Fatherhood Summit on Friday. Foreman will join Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett to talk about Milwaukees Fatherhood Initiative and share his personal experiences about fatherhood. The Milwaukee Fatherhood Initiative has been around since 2005. Officials say the annual Fatherhood Summit has helped more than 5,000 men focus on being better fathers.. ...
These findings suggest that father absence is associated with age at sexual maturity and reproduction in boys and that these effects are sensitive to the timing of father absence. Notably, the correlations between father absence and reproductive events are not consistent in their direction. For girls, father absence in developed societies is consistently associated with earlier maturation, earlier onset of sexual activity and earlier first childbirth [8,25]. Here, we show that for boys, father absence is associated with later puberty, later marriage, but earlier reproduction. Males are able to invest in either a mating (desertion) or parenting (commitment) strategy that is unavailable for females who are committed to intensive parental investment, at least among humans. Differences in the direction of the father-absence effects on marriage and reproduction may thus be attributable to the fact that investing in either mating or parenting are viable alternative strategies for ...

Although much of the fatherhood work we hear about takes place in urban areas, we should not forget that many fathers and families live in rural areas or small town communities. This webinar explored the context of responsible fatherhood programming in rural areas and small communities, consider differences and similarities between rural and urban communities, look at strategies that some programs have used in working with dads in small communities, and reflect on general lessons for fatherhood programs in all communities.
For a while after Paisleys birth, Heath felt alienated from his wife, new daughter, and even his passion for running. It wasnt until he made his baby girl laugh for the first time that everything changed; he finally felt deeply stirring unconditional love for his child. And so he began running again, pushing Paisley in her stroller while completing race after race. Not only was he able to bond with his daughter, but this shared activity enabled Heath to show the world how proud he was to be her father. Now a strong advocate for the very Down syndrome he feared facing, Heath is a humbled, changed man. ...
Research shows that a cohesive family, where both parents value each other, operate as a team and are similarly valued by and confident in the care of their child, is the best family climate for raising children. Mothers who take on most of the parenting and comfort themselves with the idea that at least I get things done my way often also feel unsupported and angry. While no mother can make her partner into an involved and sensitive father mothers aspirations for the mens involvement are actually more influential than those of the men themselves. So why do so many mothers feel overburdened and so many dads feel left out? And how can this pattern be broken? This seminar explores ideas relating to mothers-as-gatekeepers and mothers-as-conduits to fathers involvement, addresses issues of male/female parenting (similar? different?), and explores the strategies adopted by cohesive families to validate and support all family members in the care and upbringing of children.. ...

Messages from Research. Parental smoking is a significant issue. In a study of smoking households in the Midlands containing infants under three months old, two-thirds contained a smoking father (many more than contained a smoking mother). Tobacco consumption was higher where both parents smoked or where only the father smoked (Blackburn et al, 2005a). Many of these new fathers wanted to stop smoking: more than 50%f had tried to cut down; 20% had tried to quit; and more than 75% had tried not to smoke in the house. However, less than 5% had succeeded in quitting; and only 60% had achieved not smoking at home (Blackburn et al, 2005b).. Astonishingly, most of the fathers were not asked about their smoking habits by health professionals, either during the pregnancy or after the birth, let alone given even the most basic information to encourage them to quit (Blackburn et al, 2005b).. Impact of fathers smoking on children. • Smoking by fathers causes sperm damage, reduces semen quality and ...

The Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study follows a cohort of new parents and their children and provides previously unavailable information about the conditions and capabilities of new unwed parents and the well-being of their children. Mothers and fathers were interviewed in the hospital shortly after the birth of their children. The baseline questionnaires for mothers and fathers include information on (1) prenatal care, (2) mother-father relationships, (3) expectations about fathers rights and responsibilities, (4) attitudes toward marriage, (5) parents health, (6) social support and extended kin, (7) knowledge about local policies and community resources, and (8) education, employment, and income. Follow-up interviews gather additional information including (1) access to and use of healthcare and childcare services, (2) experiences with local welfare and child support agencies, (3) parental conflict and domestic violence, and (4) child health and well-being..

Literature in developmental psychology suggests that mothers and fathers both play unique and important roles in their childrens development. However, research investigating the unique contributions and psychological functioning of fathers of youth with developmental disabilities, and the role that fathers play in effective intervention, remains limited.

Although these early findings require replication with a larger and more representative sample, they raise intriguing questions about the interaction between mother and child (or parent and child, since fathers are also the focus of study). The intense sensory-tactile stimulation of a baby may trigger the adult brain to grow in key areas, allowing mothers, in this case, to orchestrate a new and increased repertoire of complex interactive behaviors with infants, the authors wrote. Expansion in the brains motivation area in particular could lead to more nurturing, which would help babies survive and thrive physically, emotionally and cognitively ...
Sometimes the situation is more drastic. I recall noticing that a young father seemed to regularly speak to his three year old quite harshly. I tried to gently point it out to no avail. Finally, one Shabbos, I was in the sanctuary, the doors were closed, and the outer buildings doors were closed, yet I could hear this father outside, berating his son. I went outside to speak with him. I admit, I was quite angry, but I did not want to yell at him and have him become defensive. Instead, I tried to relate to him. I tried to explain that I knew what it was like to be angry and frustrated by your childs behavior, but that I was concerned about his pattern of yelling and speaking harshly with his son. I expressed my concern that this could easily permanently damage his relationship with his son, even if it never went beyond yelling. I asked him to notice the fear on his sons face. And, yes, I did mention that I was concerned that his anger could lead to him physically harm his child if he was not ...

has sidelined the boy child pushing him to the periphery. The boy child has been ignored for too long. The boy Child is suffering a life skills crisis and needs to be empowered. Life skills enable us to deal with day to day challenges. Consequently, family values are in danger since the boy child is expected to head the family. This has caused many families today to be dysfunctional. The nation which is built on the foundation of the family is standing on a shaky foundation. Our upbringing models us to be what we are. Current boy child has been brought up mainly by their mothers. Most fathers are absent physically or emotionally to act as role models to the boy child. Consequently, he has not been trained in the responsibilities of a man. Its common to find family men who are running away from their responsibilities. ...
A key question raised by the study findings is the direction of casualty.

Despite growing acceptance of a new fatherhood urging fathers to be engaged in family life, mens relative contributions to housework and child care have remained largely stagnant over the past twenty years. Using data from in-depth interviews, we describe how identity processes may contribute to this persistent inequality in parenting. We propose that the specificity of mens identity standards for the father role is related to role-relevant behavior, and that the vague expectations many associate with new fatherhood both contribute to and result from mens underinvolvement. ...
Regardless of the context, the birth of a baby involves an irreversible change, generating an increase in conflicts and anguish, as well as the possibility of growth and satisfaction. Among the changes, during pregnancy and also after the birth, mothers and fathers1 experience changes in their own identity, which will be necessary to alter emotional investments and the allocation of energy, time and activities (Stern, 1995). Unlike women, as highlighted by this author, in men this process of identity reorganization may occur over a long period. In addition to the transformations of the identity, for the primiparous, another important change is the transition from a couple relationship (two) to a relationship of mother-father-baby (three), which requires adaptation to the new situation: the relationship with the infant (Cramer & Palacio-Espasa, 1993). With the arrival of the baby, men need to reconcile the demands of work, daily care of the baby and the requirements of the partner who needs ...
A new book called The Informed Parent: A Science-Based Resource for Your Childs First Four Years claims that fathers are more sleep deprived.
Whats the big deal? Why cant we as parents take some shortcuts which free up time for the more pleasant aspects of parenting? Take burping for example. Burping is where, after feeding, you help your baby get rid of the gas he/she has swallowed. Failure to do so is usually unpleasant and at the very least will end up with your baby positing. Positing is a delightful event, kinda a mini-puke, where undigested milk comes trickling out of the corner of your babys mouth all over their brand-new, freshly washed outfit their grandmother knitted out of a decades worth of lint that she spun together using her toes. This requires an instant response to lift the baby out of their basket, clean their mouth and kneck, change into a less lovingly-generated outfit like the used baby-grow you got at a charity shop, change the sheets and blanket in the basket, then put the baby, who has since woken up and started bawling, back to sleep. And since you forgot in all this work to burp the baby you have to do it ...

Our primary objective was to assess the specific impact of paternal parenting processes on adolescent sexual behavior. Overall, we found a lack of research on the influence of fathers despite the well-documented importance of familial variables in shaping adolescent behavior.4,6 Critical paternal process variables apparent in the literature include paternal attitudes toward adolescent sexual activity, monitoring and discipline, paternal involvement in the life of their adolescent child, emotional qualities of the father-adolescent relationship, and father-adolescent communication about sex.. Our review suggests several plausible paternal mechanisms of import to adolescent sexual behavior and outcomes. The most consistent finding across reviewed studies, including those using both cross-sectional and intervention design, was the significant association between father-adolescent communication and adolescent sexual behaviors such as increased condom use and abstinence from sex.32,35 In general, ...

This study aims to investigate the role of fathers and the father-child interaction in family decision-making through a primary contextualisation of the issues around this topic that are further developed throughout the dissertation. In particular, a review of the concepts of family and family decision-making and an overview of the consumer socialization aspect of the father-child interaction are first conducted. Then a description of the communication and the influences strategies among family members and the portrayal of fathers and by extension mothers are carried out to provide a complete backdrop of the overall subject. The data from seven interviews of fathers of children under the age of seven are collected for an interpretative thematic analysis. The results demonstrate a reported more balanced division of labour and childcare between spouses, a relative impact of the change in womens occupational status on fathers schedule and the anchored albeit richer role of fathers through the ...

For the next four years, a research team headed by UConn nutritionist Carol Lammi-Keefe will be living by the beeper, along with more than 100 expectant fathers in the Hartford area.. Lammi-Keefe has been awarded a $1.2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to take her research on docosahexanoic acid (DHA), a fatty acid needed for infant growth and development, to the next level.. Using a special snack bar engineered at her request, the scientist is conducting an intervention to investigate whether an infant benefits when the mothers diet during pregnancy is supplemented with DHA. It is research that is not being duplicated anywhere else.. Several studies, including some of my earlier work, have shown that supplementing an infants diet with DHA soon after birth may improve the infants cognitive performance, says Lammi-Keefe.

There have been studies that shown a correlation between having children and a drop in testosterone levels in men. But a recent research done in France has conclusively proved that most men show a drop of about 34 % in their blood testosterone levels after they become parents. And these levels did not get back to the pre-fatherhood levels in most men that participated in the study.. The adverse effects of low testosterone levels in younger as well as older men are well known. Hence it is essential to combat such changes before they become permanent.. But before one tries to reverse the effects that fatherhood has on testosterone levels, it is important to understand the reasons why such changes happen. Once this becomes a less of a mystery, changes the adverse effects can be a bit easier. ...

Lewin, who came to the UI in 1999, found finances are often a factor in gay mens decisions; public adoption is relatively cheap, and surrogacy can cost upwards of $100,000 per child.. More than one-third of married gay men in the United States were raising children in 2008, while roughly 7 percent of unmarried gay men were doing so, according to 2008 census data analyzed by Gary Gates of the Williams Institute based at the University of California-Los Angeles.. Johnny Symons - a 44-year-old Californian who directed and produced an Emmy-nominated documentary on gay fatherhood, Daddy and Papa - and his partner decided they would make good parents after a lot of discussions.

1) During my research, I discovered a Congressional Record from the 1930s, which was a report compiled by an expert in counter intelligence hired by the British Parliament. The report detailed a plan or method to be employed by Parliament and the United States government, for the complete take over and destruction of the U. S. representative form of government! The report was sent to our Congress for review and then there was an argument from certain members of Congress who insisted that the report be recorded as Top Secret, out of a fear of reprisal, should the American people discover its existence!. The opposition members of Congress argued that the American people are functionally illiterate and too preoccupied with their own personal comfort, to be concerned about what we do! The report was entered into the open record of Congress and was never discovered until 2002! I have this Congressional Record in my computer documents!.

The solution, as all thoughtful people recognize, must lie in properly melding the themes of inborn predisposition and shaping through life s experiences. This fruitful joining cannot take the false form of percentages adding to 100 as in intelligence is 80 percent nature and 20 percent nurture, or homosexuality is 50 percent inborn and 50 percent learned, and a hundred other harmful statements in this foolish format. When two ends of such a spectrum are commingled, the result is not a separable amalgam (like shuffling two decks of cards with different backs), but an entirely new and higher entity that cannot be decomposed (just as adults cannot be separated into maternal and paternal contributions to their totality ...
Fathers experience the same exercise barriers as mothers: family responsibilities, guilt, lack of support, lack of time, scheduling constraints and work, a researcher has found. Although barriers for both parents are similar, working moms reported an additional hurdle. Mothers cited work and scheduling constraints as more of a barrier than fathers. Many active fathers found time to exercise during the workday, but mothers reported fear of being judged by co-workers for leaving to workout and lack of time to freshen up after a workout ...

It has long been acknowledged that housing is essential for access to employment, social services, healthcare, and other forms of assistance that help move people out of poverty. Through identifying dimensions of housing insecurity, policymakers, as well as researchers, will have a better understanding of the protective factors that make families more secure and the risk factors that raise their level of insecurity. These analyses use resident and non-resident, low-income, urban fathers responses to the five publicly available waves of the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing (n = 4378) dataset to examine the relationship between protective and risk factors and housing insecurity. As access to protective factors increases, fathers risk of housing semi-insecurity and insecurity decreases, and as fathers are more exposed to risk factors, both their housing semi-insecurity and insecurity risks increase.

Im sure we continued on as we usually did, waxing poetic about this and that and life and being on the verge of graduation and going out into the real world. And it was then, in that little sandwich shop on Grand River Avenue, that we made a pact over our panini. Although just good friends at the time, living two completely separate lives, we promised each other, if at the OLD OLD age of thirty-five, we were both single and lonely, wed marry ...

Little Brody's father was excitedly watching the lions just a few feet away from the family's car when his wife suddenly exclaimed, 'Oh my God', and the boy threw up all over her arm.

There is a delightful extension of the theory behind parent-offspring conflict, proposed by David Haig, which essentially explains much of behaviour or even foetal growth in terms of conflict between genes inherited from mums and dads within an individuals body. Its as if your parents could extend their evolutionary battle to your body, rather than just tussling over who is left holding the baby. For instance, Haig just proposed that genes inherited from fathers are the copies that make babies cry more at night, the better to exhaust mum so she takes longer to produce a competition in the form of a sibling. In contrast, copies of the same genes inherited from mum would make babies less likely to cry. This, and all other instances of Haigs conflict explanation for genomic imprinting - the phenomenon where a genes actions differ depending on the sex of the parent they came from, rather than the actual gene sequence - is contingent on males being unable to guarantee that they will always be ...
One thing I will always be grateful to your mother for-she taught you to swim.. Why. Not asked as a question but groaned as a protest. Louisa does not want her father to talk about her mother. She is sick of her mother. Her mother can do nothing right. This is the theme of their new life, in Louisas opinion: that Louisa and her father are two fish who should leave her beached mother behind.. They are making their way down the breakwater, each careful step on the heaved granite blocks one step farther from the shore. Her mother is not even on the shore, seated smiling on the sand. Her mother is shut inside the small, almost-waterfront house they are renting, most likely in bed. All summer Louisa has played in the waves alone because her mother isnt well and her father is invariably dressed in a jacket and slacks. Every day since they got here, four weeks ago, she has asked her father to walk the breakwater with her, and tonight he has finally agreed. Spray from the waves sometimes lands on ...
Now, Im outing myself here as anti-abortion which is probably not such a huge surprise, but as a pragmatist and a realist, I have come to believe that abortion is here to stay. The cats out of the bag, theres no shoving it back in. What I would like to address is the idea that in a relationship the woman decides anything regarding procreation and has the greater vote. If you are married, these have to be mutual decisions. (If you are unmarried, dont sign up for single motherhood. Just dont.) And his opinion matters. He may be able to view the situation from a different standpoint, perhaps even more objectively given the lack of new hormones rushing through this bloodstream. Yes, parenting is a sacrifice, and for the first bit the mother pulls the lions share. She carries the baby, she nurses the baby, she hauls the baby around. Her body isnt her own for a good long time. But its not as though fathers are unaffected. Fathers also raise and support. Fathers have to assist their wives and ...
Good facts are essential for good ethics, so first here are some simplified facts about creating three genetic parent children.. A womans ovum (egg) has a nucleus with 23 chromosomes (half the number of chromosomes in all other human cells). A mans sperm likewise has 23 chromosomes. When the sperm fertilizes the ovum the female and male chromosomes recombine in a stunningly complex process to form a human embryo as a genetically unique new human being (the embryo might later split to form identical twins or triplets).. These recombined chromosomes from the mother and the father are the DNA of the nucleus of that embryo. But the embryo also has a small percentage of its DNA in the cell cytoplasm that was part of the ovum and surrounds the nucleus of the embryo. This is the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) which is inherited only from the mother and does not undergo recombination. (This means mtDNA is passed largely unchanged from generation to generation and, therefore, can be used to trace ones ...
The day we came home from the hospital was a Friday, early evening. Oh how refreshing it was to leave the hospital. Three days was enough; we were ready to take on the adventure of parenthood, without the help of the kind nurses.. The night we got home, I remember Rachel asking me to go to Target and grab some things. More diapers, a bouncer seat, etc. I ended up spending much more money than anticipated. It was a completely new exhilaration, buying things for my child. I couldnt help myself. I was so freakin excited. I started buying whatever I could find. I came home with a ton of new clothes. I was so happy to be a dad. I wanted my son to have it all!. Responsibility. On the way home from Target, I almost couldnt drive. I was choked up with emotion. By the time I got near our house I was too embarrassed to go inside. Im embarrassed to cry in front of Rachel. Im supposed to be the strong one. I pulled over just a block from home and parked.. Tears flooded my eyes as it all started to sink ...
Perhaps the best gift I can give to my son, aside from love, is freedom. The freedom to explore things while, at the same time, enjoying it as any normal child would and, when hes old enough to think whats right from wrong and can stand on his own, the freedom for him to take the path that he must choose. My son Nathaniel Harris was born on August of last year and hes a healthy baby when he came out from his mothers womb. To become a dad for the first time is, for me, to feel the real joy I have never felt in a long time. But, I know, it will also take a great responsibility on my part to nurture this little man after my own image to become a better soul as he grows up. Could I be a good dad to my son or, when another one comes, children ...
Researchers have long known about the risk of postpartum depression in mothers, but a study suggests that new fathers are at risk of depression, too.
Having been relocated to London by their parents, Judith and her cancer-stricken younger brother, Gabriel, find themselves living in an ancient schoolhouse so their parents can research and microfilm the schools historical records. While his mother and father are preoccupied down in the archives, Gabriel remains upstairs, wasting away. Judith begins to worry that their family ties are wasting away, too. An old silver heart-shaped pendant and visits from a ghostly apparition of a young boy seem to hold the key to her familys past, and future. As Judith learns more about her ancestors and the history of the heart pendant, she is able to see her parents with greater compassion. She is tempted to give up on them, but begins to realize that what her family needs, more than anything, is each other. [from authors website ...

BOTH parents should support them and not just finacially. They should have equal opportunity to raise them. Besides, are you agreeing that a man should go to jail if he cant afford child support? Then when he gets out of jail is often given only a few months to provide back pay or go back to jail? Or should a man be forced to pay child support for kids who were a product of an affair? These are just some examples of the many ways children and their fathers are screwed over. Hell, my judge decided to increase my income by 50% so my ex would get more child support, I just wish she had given me a raise too ...
