Parent Kid Books about fatherhood
What is fatherhood?
A father is traditionally the male parent of a child. Like mothers, fathers may be categorised according to their biological, social or legal relationship with the child. Historically, the biological relationship paternity has been determinative of fatherhood. However, proof of paternity has been intrinsically problematic and so social rules often determined who would be regarded as a father e.g. the husband of the mother. This method of the determination of fatherhood has persisted since Roman times. The historical approach has been destabilised with the recent emergence of accurate scientific testing, particularly DNA testing. As a result, the law on fatherhood is undergoing rapid changes. In the United States, the Uniform Parentage Act essentially defines a father as a man who conceives a child through sexual intercourse.

This simple and easy-to-read book was packed with many insights and perspectives that captured and challenged my beliefs and experiences as both a son and a dad. Forty-five black-and-white photos perfectly complemented the emotion-packed pages of one-liners that all began with, "A son needs a dad..."
For me, this book was pregnant with meaning. Many times I was compelled to pause and reflect, often with misty or tearful eyes. I found two one-liners that had a significant impact on me, and believe they will continue to have a significant impact on me as a dad throughout the years to come:
"A son needs a dad...to be the role model for the father he will become."
"A son needs a dad...because without him he will have less in his life than he deserves."
