Men Who Nurture & Embrace Their Masculinity Are Better Dads

A new study has found that men who make sure to nurture and embrace their masculinity are better dads. Emphasis is placed on motherhood, and what it means (and takes) to be a good mom. However, very little is placed on dad, and what he needs to be the best dad that he can be. Dads are an important part of parenting, and they may be at a slight disadvantage due to the lack of “maternal instinct” that mothers are said to have. They may worry about whether or not they‘ll be a good dad, and what they can do to be even better.

According to Science Daily, a new study was done that has shown that for some men having “traditional” masculine characteristics are directly linked to being better fathers to infants. When it comes to what these characteristics are, the study pointed to competitiveness and being adventurous.

Fathers and Discipline

When we hear the terms "discipline" and "father," there appears to be a natural connection, but often with negative overtones. The idea of a father as one who punishes or is an authoritarian figure runs deep in our culture. Yet, fathers have much more to offer than only helping their children learn self- control and social rules, and their role involves much more than punishment.

Discipline is one of those familiar words that carry different meanings. To many people, discipline simply implies the setting of firm rules and limits and administering punishments for breaking those rules. But, in fact, the meaning is more complex. The word discipline is based on the Latin word "discipulus," which means "a pupil," or more accurately, "one who is learning." Thus, the ancient origins of discipline are based on the notion of a reciprocal process of teaching and learning.

This notion is included in the modern definition of discipline. According to the American Heritage Dictionary (2000), the verb "to discipline" is defined as: 1. to train by instruction and practice, especially to teach self-control to. 2. to teach to obey rules or accept authority. See Synonyms at teach. 3. to punish in order to gain control of, enforce obedience. See Synonyms at punish.

HOW TO BE A GOOD FATHER: TIPS & ADVICE FOR DADS

What does it mean to be a dad? The art of fatherhood is evolving as society and the traditional family changes. With these positive parenting tips, dads can help their children build confidence and self-esteem, and in turn, learn how to be an engaged, supportive, and loving father to their children.

Todays families are increasingly more diverse, including single parent families, blended families, same gender parents, unmarried parents, and multi-generational families. Over the past three decades, societal changes including the rise in numbers of women working outside the home, escalating divorce rates, remarriages, and blended families are causing shifts in both maternal and paternal roles.

Ask a dad today and he will probably tell you that his father-daughter or father-son relationships differ widely from those he experienced with his own father. Changes in parenting styles have given men more options for responding to obligations as fathers, husbands or partners. Todays dad is less likely to automatically rely on his own childhood experiences for fatherhood guidance. With the constantly changing roles of dads, what worked well for his father 30 years ago, may not work at all with the complex and varied challenges modern fathers face.

What Working Dads Can Do When a High-Pressure Job Asks Too Much

Today’s working fathers care about success both in their careers and at home. They take pride in being good providers for their families and dedicating the time and effort necessary to be loving fathers, partners, and spouses. But many find that their career success cuts both ways. Some find themselves enmeshed in a career that, while it has many merits, may no longer fit their full range of life priorities, especially as fathers, and keeps them from feeling fully successful at work and home. As one dad I worked with told me:

I always swore I’d get off the road after my son was in school and in travel basketball, but it is hard to turn down work when the family depends on me — plus I love my job. But now, I fear I’m really missing out. I always wanted to coach basketball, but I make, at best, one third of the games as it is. I know my wife has sacrificed more of her career than we initially bargained for, and this is putting a strain on our relationship. When I’m around, I’m a loving dad, but I think my son feels my absence. I know things are off but can’t quite figure out how to make a change.

How Having Children Changes Time & How To Live In The Moment

A minute lasts a minute. You can compare fathers' minutes with mothers' minutes, you can count up the minutes that children cost altogether, and you can look at where parents get those minutes from.

But that tells us nothing about how such a minute feels. Time perception is more slippery, harder to capture in statistics and lists than its objective duration. Nevertheless, the way children transform how time feels is at least as fundamental. And that's what I want to know: How do we experience time, as parents? And to what extent does that experience change when a second child comes along?

ATLANTA DADS COME TOGETHER TO GIVE LOCAL BOYS FATHER FIGURES

A group of Atlanta dads have come together to help local boys, Today.com reports.

Keith A. Lewis Jr. and Jermaine Clark are the founders of “I’m a Father First,” an Atlanta-based nonprofit organization geared towards helping local boys who come from single-parent homes or may not have a father present in the home.

Lewis said he was inspired by his fatherhood journey, struggling to provide stability for his children after his divorce. The mentor said it took a toll on him transitioning from raising his kids full-time to having to “drive five hours to and from to have a connection” with his kids. That was when he decided he wanted to emphasize the necessity of being an active parent.

“Not being there to wake my children up every morning was the most painful thing I [could] go through. It made me repeat the affirmation ‘I am a father first,’” Lewis told reporters

A father and daughter have spent the pandemic looking for birds: ‘It’s a scavenger hunt that never ends’

A hundred years ago, to go “birding” meant killing and collecting bird specimens.

Now the only shooting that goes on is with cameras, and birding — already increasing as a trend prior to the COVID-19 pandemic — has become even more popular as newly found free time and the search for safe activities caused even more people to become aware of and interested in nature activities.
“If you just want to go out to a local pond and watch the ducks, that’s birding. If you want to go out-of-town on a trip with a birding group to look for certain species for your journal checklist, that’s OK, too,” said Jessica Becker, program specialist with the Forest Preserves of Cook County, who is an avid birder herself.

ASU grad inspired by fatherhood to research child development

When Cullin Howard decided to major in family and human development, it came at a time in his life when he was looking for a more meaningful career than the path he was on. Growing up in a home that provided foster care for infants and toddlers, he’d gained a lot of experience with children from adverse backgrounds. Then as a young father, he became fascinated with different child outcomes and how home environments and family influences impact their development. He knew then that he wanted to pursue a career that would contribute to the research in this area.
Howard received the Anna and Don Kirkman Family Scholarship and the Fitch-Craig Scholarship. During his time at ASU he has participated in several projects including the SIBS program with Kimberly Updegraff and the Arizona Twin Project in the psychology department with Kathryn Lemery-Chalfant.

7 Signs School-Aged Kids Are Stressed From Online Classes

The coronavirus health pandemic has been tough on everyone, and even though many schools have resumed some form of in-person learning, many are still relying on online classes. Like many adults who are currently working from home and struggling to balance their work and home responsibilities, kids are also feeling the stresses of online learning.

Many parents find themselves torn between feeling grateful that their child has the ability to stay safe and learn from home while also knowing that their child's mental health and academic performance may be suffering at the same time.

Here are 7 signs school-age kids are getting stressed out with online learning.

Children's Hospital L.A. Receives $6.1 Million For Anxiety Study

Children's Hospital Los Angeles received $6.1 million dollars to research treatments for anxiety in children, it was announced Thursday. The study will be the first to measure the success of behavioral therapy and medication, the two main treatments for children with anxiety.

"There hasn't yet been a head-to-head comparison for treatment strategies in real-world settings," said Dr. Bradley Peterson, chief in the division of child psychiatry at CHLA. "We are excited to be able to lay this foundation and finally answer these questions."

Both treatments have had their success, but tough decisions have come into play when a child's anxiety doesn't go into remission. Cost and time commitment of therapy can also be a factor for many families, especially when compared to medicine.

How to Spot Depression in Young Children

When parents bring their children in for medical care these days, there is no such thing as a casual, “Hey, how’s it going?” We doctors walk into every exam room prepared to hear a story of sadness and stress, or at the very least, of coping and keeping it together in this very hard year, full of isolation, loss, tragedy and hardship, with routines disrupted and comfort hard to come by.

Parents have carried heavy burdens of stress and responsibility, worrying about themselves but also watching their children struggle, and there is worldwide concern about depression and suicidality among young people. But it isn’t only the adults and the young adults and teenagers who are suffering and sad; young children can also experience depression, but it can look very different, which makes it challenging for parents — or doctors — to recognize it and provide help.

How to Minimize Your Child’s Risk of Addiction: Experts Weigh In

Addiction. It runs in my family. My husband’s family. Our family. Numerous individuals we know and care for have struggled with alcoholism, opiates, “hard” drugs, and pain pills. My husband has been sober for six years. My mother, on the other hand, lost her battle with addiction late last year. She was 65 years old. And while I know there is a genetic component to addiction — according an article on Scholastic, “scientists estimate that genetic factors account for 40 to 60 percent of a person’s vulnerability to addiction” — I want to save my children.
