When Fathers Are Engaged and Focused, Children Thrive

At the National Center for Fathering, we have a warehouse of over
three-plus decades of research, cutting-edge tools and practical insights that
have provided training for dads and leaders, impacting millions of children
and their households. The data is compelling: inattentive, disconnected fathering leads to poorer outcomes for children. In contrast, fathers who are committed to their kids, and engaged in their lives, and who are growing as dads in healthy ways, provide a foundation of strength and destiny for their children, and leave a positive legacy which impacts generations.
