In the US, approximately forty percent of children are born to single mothers. In the African American community, that number jumps to seventy percent. But even when a father is physically present in a household, that doesn't mean he is engaged with his children or leading his family. In our dad-deprived culture, there has been an increase in juvenile delinquency, depression, anxiety, abuse, trauma, incarceration, infant mortality, risky sexual behavior in teens, poverty, and substance abuse. Fathers who are present and involved in the lives of their families are vital to the health and wholeness of not just their own children, but our society at large.
In The Fatherhood Effect, Dr. Anthony B. Bradley explains the indispensable roles fathers play as foundational pillars in both their families and their communities. He unflinchingly exposes the disastrous results when fathers are absent or disengaged. Crucially, he offers practical strategies to turn the tide of dad-deprivation, advocating for structural and institutional support to empower fathers and father-figures to joyously fill their essential role in crafting a thriving society through healthy and whole families.
