In this series, I dug into the importance of dads in human relationships. I learned that #Dads need to be present, engaged, and involved. How having a dad around affects you (for better or worse). That meant exploring what it means to be a dad, whether the kids same-sex parents are any different than those of different-sex parents, how children physiologically change their parents brain, and whether toxic masculinity and machismo is harming your kids. Dads are more than just a male parent (they don't even have to be). They're a set of traits that show children who they can be and are different than their other parent. Dads are source of security, safety, play, communication, emotion, empathy, love, and companionship (Just like any other parent). Non-birthing parents have a different outlook than birthing parents simply because they’re different human beings! ⏠⏠⏠⏠⏠⏠⏠ 📚CHAPTERS ⏡⏡⏡⏡⏡⏡⏡ 00:00 Family update 00:50 What is 'Men's Work'? 3:14 Longitudinal studies 4:27 Let's see the results 5:42 Get involved! 7:04 This Trix® ain't just for kids 8:18 Co-parents, Out-of-Home Dads & more 12:25 A bit about my dad These videos take a long time to research and put together.

A Matter of Time: Father Involvement and Child Cognitive Outcomes https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jomf.12532 Fathers in Western countries allocate progressively more time to child care. However, most research on how parental time inputs affect child development focuses on maternal time. It remains unclear how paternal involvement in the child's upbringing influences child outcomes.
