Summary: The article is talking about a role of a father in the home. The conventional wisdom was that a woman’s place was in the home and that a man’s main responsibility to his family was to put food on the table. But now a father’s emotional involvement with his family became more important. A father plays a role in child development that is quite different from that of the mother. Fathers tend to be more playful, thus encouraging children to develop in a different way emotionally and physically than a child might under a mother’s exclusive care. The presence of the father in the home can contribute to lower juvenile crime rates, a decrease in child poverty, and lower rates of teenage pregnancy. If the father’s role is as important as the mother’s in raising children, it’s possible to imagine a day when society will value the role of the father more, and when all men will learn to take their paternal duties as seriously.
