Not having a father in your life determines your
growth and development.
3
Children Need Fathers!!
  • More likely to drop out of school
  • Absence of a father doesnt only affect the child
    but the mother also
  • More African American fatherless children than
    fatherless Caucasian children.

4
The absence of a father can sometimes make or
break a family.
(Philip)

5

Without fathers, this is what happens to the
child or the children
  • Turn to gangs and violence
  • Families begin to separate
  • Look for love and support in all the wrong places
  • (Hill)

6
This is why we need fathers!!
  • Turn to their mother because they have no father
  • No male figure/role model
  • Fathers play an important role but they dont
    participate

7
Many families are destroyed when there isnt a
male or father figure around.
  • (Isherwood)

Fatherless Children
  • Most likely to drop out of high school
  • Dont have special bond with a two-parents
    household
  • Hard time finding confidence

  • 49 of all child abuse cases are committed by
    single mothers.

    children

(Isherwood)

Fatherless Children have a hard time..
  • Staying focus.
  • Controlling their attitudes
  • Controlling their anger.

11
Many families dont know where to turn when
someone has walked out on them.
(Davis)
12
These are so many bad things that can happen if
there is no father around
  • More likely to experience violent behavior.
  • At a greater risk for suicide
  • They have no love or support so they do things to
    get attention.

    their pain

This is what fatherless children do.
  • More likely to experience violent behavior.
  • Turn violent because they dont have love and
    support
  • Take their frustrations out on a lot of people
    because they dont know how to deal with stress.

  • Not having a father determines your growth and
    development.
  • As result I would like for fathers who arent in
    their child/childrens life to be involved
    because if you dont many of these can occur and
    I would also like for fathers to not be
    discourage because of some things that they might
    not have.
