Fatherhood's Significance Beyond Provision of Material Needs
For a long time, Fathers have been mentored to see their roles as primarily provision of materials needs for the family. Not bad at all...The only challenge is that this role, as central as it is has been pushed to the exclusion of all the other very important roles father's play.
Fathers sometimes find themselves unable to locate their space in family when they are not providing and sometimes even the family expecting to only provide and without that aspect, they are not seen as useful. a reality has been co-created in this case but it's not complete.
Research continues to show great experiences and joys that the family enjoys when Fathers are not just providers but also present, involved and actively leading even in the absence of provision. we are taking on this topic to share on Fatherhood, fathers and their places in the family and community and that is balanced, healthy and progressive.
