A must read for fathers seeking better understanding of fatherhood.
Here is a book that finally encourages fathers to be more than breadwinners, but to be engaged in their children’s life no less than their mother. Written by pediatrician Meg Meeker, MD, we are given a behind the scene’s testimony of the value of fatherhood. Dr. Meeker has obviously paid much attention to the many children she has spoken to and counseled. From these interplays, she has come away with first-hand knowledge of how important fatherhood is to children, motherhood notwithstanding. What’s most important, and the reason I recommend both mothers and fathers to listen to this recording delivered by Coleen Mario with compassion and understanding, is that far too often fathers are relegated to the role of financial provider, obviating the necessity to interact with their children in no less a parental way than the mother.
