Where's Daddy?

Even though only 16 percent of American families fit the "traditional" model of gender roles - with Dad as the breadwinner and Mom raising the kids - the father's role in parenting is largely missing from even modern parenting books. One study of 23 recently published parenting guides found that mothers were referenced three times as often as fathers. The researcher, who published the study in the journal, Psychology of Men and Masculinity, contend that even today, fathers' roles are portrayed as largely voluntary and negotiable.

This is so very true. It breaks my heart that even in two parent households, the father is all too often quiet in the background, allowing whatever to happen, to happen. I can't begin to describe how much children need their father to be actively engaged with, loyal to, and protective of their family. This is essential for girls to grow up and find men who will protect them.

Sometimes I'm so close that I miss it. You are right. This is a wonderful reminder of Trust Your Feelings, the second of the three fundamentals of the Yello Dyno Method,

Thanks..I'll use it too.
