Regardless... I Am a Good Father Tanya M Coakley Ph D

There are nearly 24 million children growing up without their fathers. Children face a multitude of negative outcomes as a result of not having their fathers' love, guidance, and protection. When fathers are involved, their children are less likely to drop out of school, engage in delinquent behavior, become incarcerated, use drugs, be victimized, be abused or neglected, live in poverty, be a teen parent, or have certain health problems. This book is validation for fathers who wonder if they will be able to make a difference with their children, and it is a teaching tool for parent educators and practitioners to help fathers stay involved in their children's lives.
