For Fathers

Promoting Responsible and Effective Parenting -- This site helps fathers to be more involved in their children's lives. Involved fathers provide practical support in raising children and serve as models for their development. Children with involved, loving fathers are significantly more likely to do well in school, have healthy self-esteem, exhibit empathy, and engage in pro-social behavior than children who have uninvolved fathers. Committed and responsible fathering during infancy and early childhood results in emotional security, curiosity, and high math and verbal skills. http://fatherhood.hhs.gov/Parenting/index.shtml
