Join Roxanne and Rhonda as they chat with Tre Skelton, CYF/IPV Specialist at the Women's Center and Shelter of Greater Pittsburgh about the impact fathers have in their children's lives.
Check out this quote Rhonda found on the subject:
"Fathers are far more than just “second adults” in the home. Involved fathers – especially biological fathers – bring positive benefits to their children that no other person is as likely to bring. They provide protection and economic support and male role models. They have a parenting style that is significantly different from that of a mother and that difference is important in healthy child development." David Popenoe, Life Without Father, (New York: The Free Press, 1996), p. 163.
