Take some time today to thank your dad for being around. According to the Fatherhood Kit, children who grow up with fathers...
...have stronger coping and adaptation skills
...are better equipped to solve problems
...stay in school longer
...have longer lasting relationships
...have higher work productivity (i.e., are more successful)
...are more able to cope with depression (girls)
...are less aggressive (boys)
...are more likely to get A’s, enjoy school, and participate in extracurricular activities and less likely to repeat a grade.
If you want the other side of the coin, today's Cape Cod Times reviews the negatives of not having a father around.
