Dads in the Media

This video was created in 2007 by the NYS OTDA’s Fatherhood Initiative and its Director Kenneth Braswell and St. John’s professor Dr. Janice Kelly. Dr. Eric Dyson helps in addressing the issue of Responsible Fatherhood and its historical depiction via television.

Happy pre-Father’s Day!

I could save this for Sunday but this is what life is all about. Kids need their mother AND their father.

If you aren’t able to do what you see in this video, find a way. Separate your pain from your child’s need for balance.

I could go on and on and on, but you can visit by blog or call me on the phone for more reasons why fathers matter.

Happy pre-Father’s Day!
