• Strong Father Facts
• (Strong Fathers-Strong Families 1987-1996)
• For predicting a childs self esteem, it is
  sustained contact with the father that matters
  for sons, but physical affection from fathers
  that matters for daughters.
• In a study of preschoolers, children whose
  fathers were responsible for at least 40 of
  childcare tasks had higher cognitive develop-ment
  scores and a greater sense of mastery of their
  environments than those children with less
  involved fathers.
• When both boys and girls are reared with engaged
  fathers they demonstrate a greater ability to
  take initiative and evidence self-control.
• National Survey of DadsAttitudes
• on Fathering (NFI 2006)
• 99 agreed that being a father was a very
  important part of who they are 
• 91 agreed that there is a father-absence
  crisis in the United States today.
• 65 believe the media (e.g., commercials/TV
• shows) tend to portray fathers in a negative
  light.
• 57 believe that if a child does not have an
  involved father, a male role model such as a
  teacher or a family friend can be an adequate
  substitute for a father.
• this finding identifies older low-income
  fathers as a group who appear to be especially
• in need of assistance with their fathering.
